Skills Street for Education 

Skills Street connects curriculum learning to real careers, helping schools deliver meaningful, engaging and future-focused careers education. 

School groups visiting Skills Street take part in skills-focused, immersive workshops that are co-designed with industry partners and tailored to each Key Stage. Through practical activity, teamwork and problem-solving, students develop essential employability skills while exploring real-world roles and sectors. 

Our programmes: 

  • Support careers education, PSHE and curriculum objectives 

  • Are aligned to Gatsby Benchmarks, QCS, Matrix and the 2028 curriculum 

  • Help raise aspirations and challenge stereotypes 

  • Fit seamlessly into the school day 

To maximise impact, we offer: 

  • A pre-Skills Street session to prepare students for their visit 

  • Optional post-Skills Street sessions to extend learning and support careers conversations back in school 

Skills Street provides high-quality, measurable careers engagement that supports both inspection requirements and student outcomes.
