What is Skills Street?
Skills Street is an immersive and innovative world-of-work experience developed to widen career aspirations for children, young people, and adults across the region and inspire the next generation to work.
Based on the UK’s newest theme park site, Gulliver’s Valley, Skills Street will transform career education, curriculum learning, and recruitment. Our industry-led, hands-on approach to career learning allows young people to develop the skills needed to thrive in any sector and create a pipeline of future talent.
Skills Street is a collaborative Community Interest Company, co-founded by Gulliver’s Valley Resorts and The Work-Wise Foundation, and co-designed with business and stakeholder partners investing in the future workforce. We feature 15 different interactive sector zones, each co-designed by brands and businesses, highlighting their industry roles, skills needs, and routes into employment, allowing young people to see different futures by experiencing different opportunities.
All Skills Street activity is developed with teachers, providing employer-experiential encounters tailored to each key stage curriculum and learning styles.
Skills Street opens its doors in Spring 2025 with full-day visits starting from £9.00 per person.
