Theme park's work experience success for students
More than 2,000 students have gained invaluable work experience in the last 12 months through a range of sessions offered at Gulliver’s Theme Park Resorts.
The four resorts - including Gulliver's Valley near Sheffield - offer opportunities for students to learn the theme park ropes by undertaking hands-on roles.
The range of structured, paid-for workshop programmes are designed to give students hands-on experience of working within a major leisure attraction. The immersive workshops help develop teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, communication and presentation skills while showcasing the wide variety of career opportunities available across the industry.
Workshop options include a one-day Careers in Leisure programme, where students explore roles across catering, retail, rides and animal experiences. There are also specialist sessions focused on maintenance and engineering, hospitality, and events and creative careers, giving students the opportunity to discover different career pathways while learning directly from industry professionals.
