Building Careers on the Cradle Coast
The Coasters is a group of like-minded aspirational young people who live and work on the Cradle Coast influencing the region’s future.
Through regular events – such as Friday morning coffees, Friday afternoon drinks, a Winter Symposium and other events – they share skills, knowledge and experiences to raise aspirations and improve access to career development and mentoring opportunities. Most ”Coasters” are between 18 and 35 years of ages, however there is no age limit; it’s for the young and young at heart.
The Coasters was established in 2017 to;
- Reduce social isolation;
- Increase the ability of career development in the region; and
- Organise and facilitate mentoring opportunities.
The Coasters is managed by a group of passionate volunteers, hosted by the Cradle Coast Authority and supported by the University of Tasmania and CPA Australia.
