Wilbi : Découverte des métiers

What Wilbi is for and who it suits

If you are deciding what to study or which career to aim for, Wilbi offers a different starting point from a list of job titles: short films about the work itself. The developer describes it as an app for discovering professions through video, covering hundreds of jobs. It is aimed at young people choosing a path, and the listing names Parcoursup, the French platform for applying to higher education, as one place where its school videos are meant to help.

The videos are presented by working professionals, according to the listing. The developer says the aim is to show what each job involves day to day, including its difficulties and its prospects, and to challenge preconceived ideas and stereotypes about certain professions.

The listing gives two figures: more than 15,000 videos in total, and more than 10,000 short videos in the scrolling feed.

Browsing short job videos in the scroller

The main way in is a scroller, a feed of short videos that moves from one profession to the next. The developer says it lets the feed guide you, so you come across jobs you had not thought to look up.

The listing also says the app has features that work in the way social networks do, without giving further detail on what those are. The scroller is the part it describes most fully.

Reading job profiles before you decide

Each profession has its own profile page, which the listing calls a job sheet made of video. These cover the missions of the job, the training needed to enter it, how a career can develop, and the working conditions.

Use the profiles when a single clip is not enough. They are where you go to check the practical side of a job: what it involves, what qualifications it asks for, and where it can lead.

Looking at schools and training courses

A second set of videos covers training establishments. The listing calls these school sheets and describes them as immersions filmed inside schools, with students shown during their courses.

The developer says these videos are meant to help you find a course that suits you and to make progress in your application path. The listing names Parcoursup specifically as a process these videos should help with.

Saving videos and comparing jobs

You can follow the professionals whose videos interest you. Following them builds a personal library of saved videos that you can return to when you want to revisit a discovery.

The app also includes rankings, which the listing presents as a way to find the jobs you are drawn to. Together with the library, they are meant to help you compare professions over time rather than in a single session.
