There is a new Spanish language option available on the online Work Opportunity Tax Credit screening form. To switch to Spanish, applicants can simply click on the link at the top of the page “Haga clic aquí para traducir al espñol” (“Click here to translate to Spanish”). This will allow them to complete the screening completely in Spanish. As we all know, there is a higher success rate when applicants can easily understand the questions being asked.
