The Work-wise Foundation: Skills Street Co-founder
Frames of impact
The Work-wise Foundation are thrilled to be involved in the development of Skills Street, 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.

WORK-WISE FOUNDATION
The Work-wise Foundation is an employer-led charity who support the development of young people so they have the knowledge, skills, aptitude and opportunities for employment within South Yorkshire and beyond.
The Work-wise Foundation helps the private sector take the lead in preparing young people for employment and rewarding careers. We do this by establishing links, developing programmes on training and practical guidance, and connecting employers with their future employees.
