If the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program is not reauthorized by Congress by January 1, 2026, the Oklahoma State Workforce Agency will continue to accept WOTC applications submitted in accordance with federal timelines. Applications received during a lapse in authorization will be retained in our system; however, eligibility determinations and certifications cannot be issued until the program is reauthorized. Employers should continue to complete required WOTC forms at the time of hire and submit applications within 28 days of the employee’s start date.

Additional updates will be posted as federal guidance becomes available.

Oklahoma Licensed and Certified Occupations

Information on licensed occupations is gathered in each state under a grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.

The Economic Research and Analysis Division of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission (OESC) collects this information from many government agencies and publishes it every two years.

The interactive tables below display occupations descriptions, and the agencies responsible for the occupations, along with the contact information. For more information about using these interactive tables, see Tableau Guide.
