What is Skills Street?
Skills Street is an immersive and innovative careers training experience developed to inspire and inform children, young people, and adults from across the South Yorkshire region.
Based on the site of the UK’s newest Theme Park, Gulliver’s Valley, Skills Street will transform the way the region delivers careers training for schools with this new hands-on approach to developing, growing and honing skills.
This interactive training centre will be delivered by a partnership between Gulliver’s Valley Theme Park Resort, The Work-wise Foundation and The Source Skills Academy, creating a Centre of Excellence in training from retail to construction and from hospitality to manufacturing.
Construction will begin in 2023 with the aim of opening Skills street in 2024.
