The SEE First Nations Program is about helping our people grow strong in language, literacy, numeracy, and digital (LLND) skills through learning that’s connected to culture, country, and community. It’s a free training program funded by the Australian Government and available for eligible First Nations Australians who want to build confidence for work, study, or everyday life.
At Bidwern Butj Uni (BBU), our program is shaped by community voices and guided by what local people have told us through co-design sessions across Mimal and Warddeken Indigenous Protected Areas (IPAs). The learning we deliver reflects the ways our mob learn best, hands-on, culturally grounded, and community led.
