Not enough places
One employer can host two students a week. The same employer can film once and reach thousands of students a year, in schools they would never physically visit.
Virtual work experience
Work experience for 200 students, in one afternoon.
Placements are hard to find, hard to insure and impossible to scale. JobBox gives every student the same first hand look at a real job, filmed in 360 with your own people, and it runs from a case of headsets you keep.
Six weeks from sign off to headsets in your hands
The honest bit
Placements do not scale. Headsets do.
Every careers lead, HR team and outreach manager we speak to has the same three problems, and none of them are solved by another leaflet.
Too much admin
Risk assessments, travel, supervision, safeguarding. Virtual work experience removes the logistics and keeps the learning.
Nobody remembers a talk
Students forget a slide deck by lunchtime. They do not forget standing in a working kitchen, a ward, or 30 metres up a wind turbine.
How it works
Your workplace, filmed once, experienced everywhere.
We film your real jobs in immersive 360 video, load them onto Meta Quest 3 headsets, and hand you a box that anyone on your team can run without training.
- 01
We scope the jobs
You tell us which roles you struggle to explain. We visit the site, agree locations, and plan a shoot that shows the job as it actually is.
- 02
We film your people
Candid and unscripted, with a short brief so everyone relaxes. Real staff talking about real work always beats an actor.
- 03
You get the box
Headsets, charge case, travel case and router, with your films pre installed. We install on site and show your team how to run a session.
- 04
You run it anywhere
Classrooms, assemblies, open evenings, career hubs, community centres. No wifi needed, no laptop, no technician.
Proof
"The students grasp the environment before they ever set foot in it, and 94 per cent told us they understood the role better afterwards."
Andy Winter, Assistant Professor, Coventry University
Coventry use JobBox films to prepare students for high pressure clinical environments before placement. Same headsets, same box, different subject.

Questions we get asked
Does this replace a real placement?
No, and we would never claim it does. It reaches the students who will never get a placement, and it prepares the ones who do so their first day is not their first look.
What age group is it for?
We have run sessions with year 8 through to postgraduate and adult career changers. The films are short, so you control the depth of the conversation around them.
Do we need technical staff?
No. Open the case, hand over a headset, press play. If anything needs updating, JobBox+ handles it remotely.
How long until we are running sessions?
Six weeks from sign off to box in hand is our standard. Filming days are usually one to five days depending on how many roles you want.
Show them the job. Do not describe it.
Book a demo and we will bring a box to you, so you can stand inside someone else's workplace before you decide.
