Important Note about obtaining a Work Permit for WorkReady Philadelphia Summer Jobs!
WorkReady Philadelphia accepts both yellow and blue work permits.
Yellow work permits do not need to be renewed if they were issued by WorkReady Philadelphia or the Philadelphia Youth Network (PYN) within the last year. If you have a yellow work permit and it was issued by an agency other than WorkReady Philadelphia or PYN, then it must be renewed. Blue work permits do not need to be renewed.
If you do not have a work permit, please follow these directions to obtain a work permit for WorkReady Summer programs:
If you are applying for a WorkReady Summer program you SHOULD NOT visit School District work permit locations.
WorkReady Philadelphia will issue you a work permit if you are placed in a WorkReady job. You must apply online for WorkReady Summer programs. You will receive the Application for Employment Certificate or Transferable Work Permit in the confirmation e-mail that will be sent to you after you complete the online application. If you misplace the form, you can get another copy by contacting the WorkReady Hotline at 267-502-3742. You must print out the form and complete sections A and B of the form. Section D must be completed by your doctor, so it is important that you schedule a doctor's appointment as soon as possible. You will need to bring the form if you are scheduled for a WorkReady enrollment appointment. If you obtain a job, WorkReady will provide you with your Work Permit during the program. The School District will not directly issue any work permits for WorkReady Summer programs.
