Audio/Video Production Team members support summer programming and other Cooperative programs, and initiatives. We have our own well-outfitted production studio in Barrie, as well as partnerships with facilities in other communities.
These roles are progressive over the summer and youth are afforded as much scope and responsibility as they are willing and able to handle. It's a great way to improve and grow within a team setting where you get hands-on opportunities for experience.
Some participants will be offered additional opportunities through job shadowing, or training placements with industry professionals who are willing to mentor a youth in the industry.
Full-time summer employment contracts range from 8 -16 weeks, May through to September. Post-secondary students are welcomed and encouraged to apply for this position as part of their program requirements for a co-op or work placement. Contracts are funded by the Government of Canada, and offered at the Ontario minimum wage. Please be aware that all positions may not be funded in all locations.
Some roles may follow a hybrid work structure where employees both work from home or in person, as needed, based on demands of specific tasks and/or personal work preferences. Working from the office/studio/meeting location is encouraged when working on tasks that require a high degree of collaboration. Training and Workshops may be online or in-person, as needed.
