About this listen

Choosing where to go to College can be a blur of open days, free pens, piles of unread brochure and still not knowing what to do. Whether you’re doing the Leaving Cert, a PLC course or even if it’s been a while since you’ve been in education and considering a return, you probably have loads of questions and it can be hard to get the answers you need! So, let’s go straight to the source!


My name is Nerilie Duffey, Digital Communications & Marketing Manager for Carlow College – join me for a new podcast – Beyond the Blue Door – Voices of Carlow College. It is often said, Carlow College is more of a community than a College, so in this new podcast, I’ll be chatting with members of our College community about everything from their own pathway to college, courses, the best pubs, student supports and, of course, what to do after you graduate.


Welcome to Beyond The Blue Door – Voices of Carlow College – a Carlow College podcast.
