WE HAVE SIGNED A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING WITH OUR SOON-TO-BE
NEIGHBOURS, THE HALO KILMARNOCK LTD.
We are partnering with the HALO Kilmarnock
to encourage leading-edge, practical learning
in enterprise and innovation, cyber resilience
and digital security to support the creation of
a future workforce of digitally skilled young
people from Ayrshire.
We have agreed to combine knowledge,
resources, networks and efforts to support
the creation of the HALO Enterprise and
Innovation Centre and the cyber security/
digital hub that are planned as part of the
impressive regeneration project.

The partnership also aims to explore and
promote new approaches to stimulating self-
discovery, self-motivation and self-confidence,
particularly among young people.
The HALO Enterprise and Innovation Centre
will be part of a national and international
network of Government and industry-inspired
cyber centres making Scotland a leader in
digital knowledge and understanding.
We are delighted to be working in partnership
with the HALO initiative. This will provide
opportunities for our students and staff
from a range of industry sectors to support
economic development in Ayrshire.
