Explore the Workplace

Access a range of virtual workplace tours of companies based around the North East.

Company inductions and workplace tours can be delivered in various ways; face to face, live virtual or virtual pre-recorded. Pre-recorded content can be captured simply on film using a mobile device or 360 tours of the workplace can be developed. If you would like support to consider what option may be most suitable for your organisation, please use the contact form to get in touch with a member of the North East Ambition team.

Employers looking to develop their own virtual company induction material, may wish to follow a similar structure to that in the video resources. Further guidance on creating virtual workplace tours including suggested content and duration can be found in the facilitator's guide in Module 3.

360 workplace tours can be accessed via web browsers on mobile or desktop devices, in addition can be viewed using Virtual Reality equipment for an immersive experience.
