An agreement has been signed between IT Carlow and local colleges that should see real benefits for students in the south east.
Formal arrangements have been made with Carlow Institute of Further Education and Wexford vocational college amongst others.
Its hoped the link will give students of those colleges a stepping stone into higher education programmes at IT Carlow.
Declan Doyle is Head of Development at IT Carlow and he said its a really positive move.
