Program
Anchored in Toronto, this part-time program is an immersive learning experience aimed towards the completion of a fully Accessible Production in both documentary & podcast formats.
During a 20 week timeline, this program will be introducing and uplifting the pre-existing media skills of those who identify as Disabled, Veterans, and EI Recipients.
Through an immersive learning experience in ‘Accessible Media Production’, participants will be working in teams within storyline development, social media, accessibility in media, podcast recording, captioning, and video editing.
The aim of the program is to…
- Assist with the reintegration of our participants into the workforce
- Help businesses raise their accessibility profile and assist their brand positioning with real opportunities for minority groups
- Create Wider Inclusion & Long Term Solutions
Participants Graduating From This Program Are Well Acquainted With…
Employer Partners
We’re offering companies who are looking to increase their accessibility and/or brand visibility in diverse hiring the opportunity to do just that.
After participants have graduated, pre-matched and relevant candidates will be able to submit their resumes to our Employer Partners for an internship or work placement opportunity.
Opportunity length and option of ‘paid’ or ‘unpaid’ is at the discretion of the Employer Partner.
Funding: Should an internship or paid placement feel like the right fit for both company and participant to pursue, a wage subsidy will be available to the Employer Partner, covering 50% of the wage for 10 weeks.
