As part of the career information mission, the Cité des Métiers of Charleroi has created an innovative tool to explore
various professions: VIDEO box.
VIDEO box is a free application which, thanks to hundreds of videos, allows you to discover trades and the skills they
require. The videos are grouped into four categories:
- career videos with professionals explaining their daily work life;
- tips and tricks for getting a job
- information on how to create your own job
- information on soft skills, interpersonal and social skills at school or at work

This application is available (free of charge) on tablet and smartphone via the App Store and Play Store.
A PC version is available through CDM Charleroi’s website. Recent Developments in Guidance - Belgium | Chapter 3 | Tools & media
VIDEO box sessions are organised in schools or at the premises of Cité des Métiers of Charleroi. Equipment can also
be borrowed on demand (tablets + mobile wifi).
The application requires an internet connection.
