About LinkUp Careers
LinkUp Careers is a Not for Profit organisation dedicated to connecting students, educators, training organisations, not-for-profits, and industry professionals — all with one goal: to make career pathways into construction, manufacturing, energy, and other non-traditional industries more visible, inclusive, and achievable for everyone. All profits go back into initiatives addressing societal stereotypes and building confidence to pursue a career without bias.
Our Story
Founded by Polly Britten, an education and workforce development professional, LinkUp Careers is built on years of international and local insight into solutions providing students and career changes — particularly women and underrepresented groups — opportunities to pursue careers in Australia's essential industries.
A Personal Mission
Polly’s personal mission is grounded not just in policy and practice, but in family. With six nieces growing up in a world still shaped by outdated stereotypes, she became determined to shift the narrative — to ensure every person, regardless of gender or background, can see themselves in a high-value, high-impact career.
What We Do
Through a user-friendly, purpose-driven platform, LinkUp Careers:
- Connects schools with Role Models and Not for profit organisations with exploration programs
- Showcases real stories through role models
- Provides one location to access a range of workshops, information sessions, panels and networks for students and career changes
- Bridges the gap between education and employment with tools that are practical, inclusive, and inspiring
About Our Purpose Careers
At its heart, LinkUp Careers is about opening doors — and keeping them open — so that future tradies, technicians, engineers, and innovators have the confidence and connections to thrive.
