Join us at the Waterways College, where we learn differently.
Why Choose Us
We are delighted to welcome you to the newly launched Waterways College, Graiguenamanagh, Co. Kilkenny. From our wonderful location overlooking the Barrow, we have a daily reminder of the importance of safeguarding all our rivers, streams and lakes of Ireland.
At Waterways, we want to educate and imbue all those who walk through our doors with a sense of wonder and appreciation of our natural habitats. Our connection with our rivers is a deep rooted one, and through our educational programmes, our aim is to ensure that we continue to be custodians of this natural gift and to protect and renew it for future generations.
Come and visit us at Waterways, together, we can learn about our inland Waterways. Learn how to protect our wonderous and age-old Rivers and Waterways while improving the world around us.

Our Values
Waterways College is run by Kilkenny LEADER Partnership in conjunction with our educational providers. From our launch we aim to grow into a speciality learning & training location, for students from all programmes, from part-time learning, through to full-time learning and life learning. Fundamental to all courses will be the “Waterways” and how that will influence the learning. Our ambitions are robust and disruptive in further education as we are the first college to solely focus on our environmental setting and ensure all our programmes reflect that.
