New Online Process for Youth Work Permits
Beginning October 2, Michigan is changing how students obtain youth employment/work permits.
The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) is launching a new Youth Employment Permit Portal, which will move the work permit process to one centralized online system.
What does this mean for students and families?
Beginning October 2:
- Kent City High School will no longer issue youth employment/work permits.
- Students and employers will complete the permit process online through the State of Michigan's new portal.
- The new statewide system is designed to make the process more convenient and accessible for students, families, and employers.
Students who are starting a new job or need a youth employment permit after October 2 should use the State of Michigan's new online process.
For additional information, instructions, and updates, visit Michigan.gov/YouthEmployment.
Please note: This is a statewide change to Michigan's youth employment permit process, not a change specific to Kent City Community Schools.
