The Wontulp Bi-Buya (WBB) College teaches a range of courses for Indigenous Australians with a view to empowering, promoting and achieving personal, professional and spiritual development of individuals. The College is funded by TEAR Australia to deliver the Certificate III Community Organising and Development (COD) for community leaders. The two-year course has been operating since 2006 and graduated over 50 students. A team from James Cook University evaluated the COD course to learn more about the impact the course is having in Indigenous Communities. The evaluators found that there is a strong correlation between Indigenous training in community development, and Indigenous empowerment, both at the personal and community level
