About Zig Zag Hub

Zig Zag Hub began as a co-working space for startups simply providing desk space in 2016. We saw a rise in young aspiring entrepreneurs with bright ideas wanting to establish connections with other like minded individuals. This fuelled our desire to build a hub and ignite younger people's passions to build their own future.

As a registered training organisation (RTO), we are offering accredited courses in an endeavour to empower continued learning with both practical, theory and mentorship components. Together we'll unlock new possibilities, connect with like minded people and help build tomorrow’s world.

Our philosophy is simple; we believe in the power of the entrepreneur and, we believe there is an entrepreneur in all of us. All of our programs and workshops are designed to support young people and turn uncertainty into opportunity. From design thinking to computer programming and business, Zig Zag Hub has something for everyone.

Zig Zag Hub ran and organised a Year 10 Entrepreneur program for a number of students throughout Term 1. The real benefits for the students was the improved confidence and sense of self when preparing to pitch their ideas. Students really enjoyed the program and learnt a lot. I would highly recommend this program.
