Show Them What You Got!
No matter what degree you’ve completed or what industry you want to work in, you will need a portfolio.
Right now, the graduate job market is brutally competitive, with some employers in the UK seeing over 100 applications for a single graduate role.
You need to stand out, differentiate yourself from the other applicants and be more than just another graduate.
Journo Box gives you the skills and confidence to build a portfolio that shows employers you’re job-ready.
how we help
The Journey
Our 4 to 6-month programme will take you through 3 stages tailored to your needs, goals, and target industry. You’ll work on live industry-relevant briefs that double as work experience. These can be listed on your CV and LinkedIn as proof that you’ve actually done the work employers are looking for.
Step 1: Training
Most students go through university and graduate with little to no experience. We provide the training you need and guidance in portfolio building, so you can start showing off your learning and training.
Step 2: Real Experience
You’ll be placed into a position where you can complete part-time work with one of our partner start-ups until you graduate.
Step 3: Graduate!
You’ll be a full-fledged graduate with a portfolio full of work experience. You’ll be ready to move on to full-time work in your industry of choice and we’ll be ready to help you connect with those employers.
By the time you complete your training, you’ll have a CV, coupled with a live website that showcases your case studies and projects professionally. Whether you studied politics, computer science or nursing, employers still require visibility and proof of what you can do.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just for media or journalism grads?
No. The storytelling and portfolio framework is designed to work for any discipline – tech, law, humanities, politics, healthcare, engineering, you name it. The core idea is: show, don’t just tell.
Can I join while I’m still at uni?
Yes. Many students start in their final year so they graduate with a portfolio ready, not just a degree and panic.
How intense is the workload?
Expect it to feel like a part‑time job. You’ll be building something real – your future employers will be able to see it.
What if I have literally nothing to show?
That’s exactly what the 4–6 months are for. We help you turn your existing experiences into structured projects, and then build new pieces through the programme.
Is this guaranteed to get me a job?
No one can honestly guarantee that. What Journo Box gives you is a much stronger signal in a crowded market: visible work, a sharper story and people in your corner.
