Job Shadowing Guidelines/Application

Work Permit

Need a work permit? In order to have a job, every minor 14-17 years of age must have a working permit unless otherwise stated in Chapter 4109.

Please follow these steps:

  1. Pick up the pre-application form from the front desk at FDA or download a copy here to print. Take this to the potential employer and have them fill out the “Pledge of Employer” section.
  2. Students also need a physical performed by a doctor. The Physician’s Certificate is on the second page (or back) of the application. Have the doctor fill out after the exam. All Urgent Care locations in Findlay take walk-in physical appointments.
  3. When you have BOTH FORMS completed, bring to FDA to process the work permit.

College Visits

  • All students at Findlay Digital Academy are issued a total of up to 3 days (18 hours) for college visits.
  • These days need to be pre-approved by an administrator or counselor.
