Griffith College are pleased to announce that we have signed a partnership agreement with Nairobi's Riara University. The partnership was signed during Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney's trade visit to Kenya in November and will see it support the education of the country's growing youth population. Mr Coveney also awarded International Computer Driving Licence certificates to students who are among its rising skilled workforce.

Griffith College sees huge potential in the increasing numbers of African students graduating high school with good academic standing.  Uncertainty generated by Brexit has created huge potential for Ireland to increase the number of African students that study here, with a number of Irish universities currently leveraging opportunities in the sector. East Africa is one of the world's fastest growing economic regions with a young population and growing middle-class, making it an enormous market for Ireland's education sector.
