Here is some information from their web page and a link to the web page to get started. The instructions and FAQs are at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.

YEPP Login Instructions
Work permits are issued through the Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP).

To access YEPP, you will login though MiLogin. If you already have a MiLogin account, you can search for the Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP) and add it to your applications. If you don’t have a MiLogin account, you will have to create one.

MiLogin allows you to access many state services and systems online, across multiple departments, using a single User ID and password.

When creating your MiLogin account, you’ll be asked to provide a unique email address and/or mobile phone number before you are able to complete your account setup. The email or phone number cannot be shared with another user.
