Calling all Tutors!!

We are on a recruitment drive for more tutors!  Many of you have been working as volunteers with Adult Learning for a while and as you know your role is an important one.  If you have enjoyed the experience and found it worthwhile please let your friends and colleagues know.  The next course will commence in the New Year.  Please contact the Learning Shop on 01292 263304 for more information and if you would like someone to come and speak informally to a small group, that too can be arranged! Thanks, Zoe

Christmas Fair in Prestwick!

Hello!

Hi There!

I am Rhonda Leith, the new team leader at the Learning Shop.  I am responsible for adult literacy across the whole of South Ayrshire, as well as Community Learning and Development in the Troon and Prestwick areas.

I started out as a volunteer with the team here about 12 years ago and just loved it!  Since then I worked in youth work, adult learning and community development across Scotland (from Aberdeen to Glasgow).

For the last two years I've been working in the Carrick area for South Ayrshire Council.  I’m really pleased to have joined the team here at such an exciting time, with the shop re-opening and some new projects starting.  They have made me very welcome and are doing some wonderful work!

Its been lovely to meet some of you learners and tutors over the past few weeks, and I look forward to meeting even more of you over the coming months.

Best wishes
Rhonda
