Applicants are required to complete an essay addressing the question, What is the role of the CBC in our community?, and to provide recent high school transcripts.

CBC is committed to representing the diversity of people and voices that make up Canada and this community, explains John Bertrand, Regional Director of English Radio and Television for CBC in Manitoba. We want talented young people to consider working here to help us do that.
