Student Work Permits - STEAM Virtual Academy

Overview:

• STEAM Virtual Academy does not directly issue Student Work Permits.
• For students meeting the qualifications for a work permit, STEAM VA issues a School Authorization Letter (SAL) to the Work Experience Education (WEE) Office.
• The WEE Office is responsible for issuing Work Permits. This occurs after they receive the SAL from STEAM Virtual Academy, along with other required documents provided by the student applicants.
