Based in the inner Sydney suburb of Glebe, Tranby is Australia's oldest Indigenous education provider, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2008, and has also played an important role in the struggle for the achievement of social justice for Indigenous people.
A not-for-profit co-operative, the College has seen thousands of students graduate from its courses and go on to improve their lives and those of their families and communities. The Tranby learning environment is a community atmosphere, respectful of Indigenous culture and ways of learning.
In 2010, Tranby is delivering the following courses to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people based all over Australia:
Diploma of National Indigenous Legal Advocacy
Diploma of Business (Governance)
Diploma of Community Development
Tranby believes strongly in Indigenous owned and controlled education - over 50% of Tranby's staff are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and all of Tranby's Board of Directors are Aboriginal.
Indigenous students travel from all over Australia to undertake nationally accredited Diploma level courses, which have been developed in response to community need and are designed to empower Indigenous people and their communities. It is Tranby's fundamental objective to guarantee a job or a placement in further education for each and every one of our graduates.
As Tranby begins its next 50 years of operation, the College remains committed to the principles that have forged it into the iconic institution it is today - to provide high quality education to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from across the country and to provide a strong social and political voice in issues that affect Indigenous people.
