About us
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 UKs 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, The Work-wise Foundation and The Source, creating a Centre of Excellence in training from retail to construction and from hospitality to manufacturing. Construction will begin in 2022 with the aim of opening Skill City in 2023.

A-level, BTEC and T-Level results day will always bring talk of ‘the future’. For those receiving results today remember, this is the very start of your journey that YOU CREATE. I chose to go the degree route and missed out on my first choice Uni. At the time I was uncertain but it ended up being the motivation I needed to explore a different path ... and that’s useful, why? Because, this week I’ve spoken to; 🚚 A fashion brand about transport (#logistics) 🏎 An automotive company about #marketing 🍃 An engineering company about #climateaction 🍲 A catering start-up about #governance 🖐 A charity about #manufacturing 🎟 A local authority about #eventmanagement 🍽 A food production business about #construction Things change, skills develop … how you apply them is RELEVANT TO YOU at any stage of your journey. Keep close to what we’re doing at Skills Street, a new dimension to #careers education that will change the way #business and #education perceive employment - https://lnkd.in/eXzgXy_A #makeitfun #ALevelResultsDay #transferableskills #createyourjourney #dontstartasentencewithbecause!

'Soft' skills are increasingly the 'hardest' to recognise, how many people struggle in an interview when asked - "tell me about yourself, what are you good at?". Creativity - #education has been given no option but to stifle it ... life has different pathways, why can't learning? An absolutely brilliant morning exploring backstage at Sheffield Theatres, with Mia Hollingsworth-Smith and the passionate Adam Battey and Samuel Erskine 🎭 As an industry, the Arts have received well documented struggles around funding and investment to enable community and culture to thrive. My ask of South #Yorkshire, we have to do more to enable the next generation to; 🎭 Develop confidence through practical experience. 🎭 Step out of a comfort zone and explore public speaking, communication and performing arts. 🎭 Do stuff - relate to success but also fail and develop resilience. Looking forward to exploring Skills Street collaboration across our local creative industries as we work to provide a unique 'world of work' learning experience and inspire a workforce that thinks differently about #culture and #heritage.

What's your #mondaymotivation? Today I picked up Skills Street suggestions from our most honest critic ... Year 2 pupils at a local primary school. My pick for this week's 'Skills Street - what do kids want' insight is ➡️ Cooking 👩🏼🍳🍳 Food is a mechanism to bring people together. Brilliant to be at Nexus Multi Academy Trust this afternoon to hear Chris Hanson share an update on Chefs Counter, a local social #enterprise widening access to hospitality training and catering delivery, bringing food events to South #Yorkshire community spaces. Super excited for their latest venture, #notjustpinkcustard ...🩷 Empowering to also hear reflections from Hilary Chapman, calling on our region and the national economy to 'do better' with all things #education and skills. I'd love to talk to businesses who are passionate about food and hospitality, why? The #hospitality industry; ✅ Is a Top 5 employer in every UK region ✅ Is the 3rd biggest employer in the UK ✅ Loses over 30% of it's employees every year (MASSIVE #skillsneed) Get in touch today to inspire a future for your industry - https://lnkd.in/eXzgXy_A

The value of experience ... By the age of 9, school pupils start to see social class in jobs and #career pathways. Where you're from shouldn't determine your long term future but how do we change perceptions of industry for those seemingly furthest from aspiration and employment? Start with teamwork, collaboration and an understanding of purpose. Over the past couple of weeks I've been working with connections linked to the Automotive industry, with a view to creating an immersive experience at Skills Street (watch this space ... 🏎🏁). Hugely thankful to Rachel Abbott and Rory Campbell-Pilling, two passionate advocates of #manufacturing, #engineering and all things design and development. Watch this video, a testimony to the power of #teamwork and a willingness to keep pushing for things to just, be better ... https://lnkd.in/eQWujkTs Play your part in #skills innovation, join us on Skills Street ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eXzgXy_A 🧩 #skillsevolution 🧩 #lifelonglearning 🧩 #talentdevelopment
