Minor Work Permits

Did you know the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) requires all workers under the age of 16 to obtain a work permit?

If a student needs a work permit, they can obtain one through the GBS student services office, which issues permits on IDOL's behalf. To learn more about the process and to get started, visit the minor work permits webpage.

 
 

Community News

 

CATCH Lunch & Learn: Is My Kid Ok?

Tuesday, March 21
Noon

When our kids are struggling with their mental health, they may not have the skills to explain their challenges. Instead, they often send a message through their behavior.

Join us and learn about the early signs and how to support your child.

Speaker: Jodi Salata, ALMFT, Cutting Edge Counseling
