Online Application Process
The online application process allows employees to create an online profile and apply for postings electronically. No paper-based applications will be accepted at any site, including the VTF office.
Internal applicants must apply through Online Application Process (OAM).
External applicants must apply through Make a Future. The Board will post unfilled jobs from OAM to Make a Future so that people should check both for Vancouver jobs.
