Osan City Expands 'Youth Interview Success Support Package' with Increased Beneficiaries and Budget

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Osan City announced on the 10th that it will expand the number of beneficiaries and budget for the 'Youth Interview Success Support Package' business, which was piloted last year.

The Youth Interview Success Support Package, which was conducted from September to December last year, is a youth-tailored policy designed to reduce the financial burden of job search preparation costs for young job seekers and strengthen employment support.

The Youth Interview Success Support Package supports ▲free formal attire rental ▲resume photo shooting ▲hair and makeup services for interviews or photo shooting ▲study materials and certification exam textbooks, etc. This year, one additional formal wear rental company has been added to expand choices, and the number of beneficiaries has been increased to 1,500 people.

Eligible applicants must be aged 19 to 39 years old (including high school graduates-to-be) with registered residence in Osan City and be registered as a job seeker on the Ministry of Employment and Labor's Work-Net platform. Recipients of job search activity support funds and unemployment insurance beneficiaries are excluded.

Formal attire rental allows up to 3 rentals per person per year through contracted businesses, providing free 3-night, 4-day rental of jackets, pants (skirts), shirts (blouses), shoes, neckties, belts, and other items. Additionally, expenses for ▲resume and certification exam photo shooting ▲hair and makeup costs for interviews and photo shooting ▲study materials and certification exam textbooks can be reimbursed up to a maximum of 30,000 won per item category once per person per year in local currency for out-of-pocket expenses.

The project will operate from January 1 this year through the end of this year and can be applied for online through the Gyeonggi Province Job Foundation's 'Job Support Project Integrated Application System (https://apply.jobaba.net)'.
