Indigenous Pathways is a paid, full-time, 9-month learning and development opportunity that supports First Nations, Inuit or Métis to hone their skills at CBC. Indigenous Pathways provides training as part of an all-Indigenous cohort, career development support and work experience. Journalism or Media Production education or job experience are not required to apply. The program starts in October 2025 and runs until June 2026.

This role is full-time. The teams work in a hybrid model, working from home and in the office once per week or as required. Relocation costs are not covered.

This Pathways role is for you if:

• Are First Nations, Inuit or Métis
• Have a deep interest in storytelling through digital video (short form).
• Are connected to your community and passionate about kids and youth culture.
• Want to gain practical, hands-on experience working at CBC Kids and CBC Kids News.

• Interested in video production, especially for reaching young audiences on social platforms, including YouTube.
• Have an interest in the news and current events.
• Have a passion and understanding of content and media made for kids and teens including social media; video games and/or sports knowledge would be a strong asset for any candidate.
• Are comfortable speaking in front of groups and interacting with kids, teachers and families either in person or virtually on Zoom
• Are a critical thinker who demonstrates ethics and integrity.
• Are a good communicator and team player.

In this program, participants will:

• Participate on production teams making digital video for school age kids and tweens.
• Pitch and create stories that connect with Indigenous and non-Indigenous kids and teens and reflect diverse perspectives.

• Grow relationships with, and be supported by, mentors, trainers, peers, and Indigenous colleagues.
• Gain valuable professional experience.

Your Role:

As an AP with CBC Kids digital, you will have the opportunity to work with our CBC Kids and CBC Kids News production teams to pitch and produce a variety of digital video content for our YouTube channels. This may involve conceptualizing, shooting, and editing digital video formats for CBC Kids and CBC Kids News. You will develop the skills to tell stories for kids and teens, sometimes this involves taking complex issues and breaking them down for ease of understanding and storytelling in a way that appeals to kids, and sometimes this will mean conceiving of and producing content that makes kids laugh, think and feel. While you work under the direction of one or more producers, you will have plenty of opportunities to take initiative and show independent judgment.

To apply, please submit a resume. Include a cover letter and tell us a bit about yourself: Why would you like to be part of this program? Why are you interested in working in the media? What hobbies, volunteer work or cultural activities do you take part in?
