POLYEMP Employment Support and Advice

PolyEmp is a charitable trust whose purpose is to support young people with learning disabilities towards their goal of sustainable employment. We currently work in partnership with the Employment Skills Courses at Unitec and Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT).

Our work is founded in the belief that all people have the right to contribute to society through equal employment opportunities.

PolyEmp came into being 25 years ago when a group of tutors, families and support services saw that this particular group of people

were falling through the cracks. When they had completed the course, although they had the skills and motivation to be employed,

there was no support available to support them with their career goals and aspirations.

PolyEmp is fortunate to have a Board of Trustees from professional backgrounds and those with a lived experience

of learning disability as family members. They guide and support our Mission and Vision.

PolyEmp has one office based in MIT in South Auckland and one office at Unitec in Central Auckland. Our staff group comprises of a group of passionate experienced people who are committed to ensuring the very best outcomes for both employers and the young people we serve.
