YST Approval Process.pdf

The YST Employer Approval Process involves several steps for new employers to host 16-17-year-old student learners for a paid work experience. For hazardous settings, the steps include:
1. Employer submits workers' compensation declaration page, Machine/Tool/Equipment Review, and pictures/videos of equipment if the safety meeting is virtual.
2. School provides a class syllabus for industry-related classes.
3. YST staff, DLI safety consultant, and employer conduct a safety meeting to review documentation and equipment.
4. YST program staff and employer complete and sign a YST Statute review and approval form.
5. Employer, student, parents, and school complete and sign a Training Agreement form.

For non-hazardous settings with no hazardous equipment, the steps are:
1. Employer submits workers' compensation declaration page.
2. School provides a class syllabus for industry-related classes.
3. Optional YST meeting to review documentation and discuss the paid work experience.
4. Employer, student, parents, and school complete and sign a Training Agreement form.
