A total of £4.3 million is to be spent on the creation of more than 170 apprenticeship and graduate internship roles within an Ayrshire local authority.
And the package, announced by East Ayrshire Council, is set to kickstart more opportunities for young people aiming to climb the career ladder.
The placements will be offered at a range of levels, including trade apprenticeships, modern apprenticeships and graduate intern programmes in subjects as; diverse as plumbing, joinery, environmental health, youth work, mechanical engineering, health and social care and business administration.
