Osan City Rolls Out 'Youth Interview Success Package Project' to Strengthen Job Placement Support

[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyuk Reporter] Osan City announced on the 19th that it will roll out the ‘Youth Interview Success Package Project’ in full to reduce the employment burden on young people and expand substantive support.

The city has been operating the ‘Youth Interview Success Support Set Project’ since 2021 to help young people secure employment. This year, it has expanded the program further by introducing a comprehensive package that provides systematic support from interview preparation through post-placement management.

The package goes beyond simple interview assistance by focusing on resolving practical difficulties young people face in the employment process.

During the interview preparation stage, the city provides △free interview suit rental △resume photography △hair and makeup services △test preparation and certification exam material expense support.

After the interview, the city operates a celebratory thank-you call service for successful candidates, and provides customized job information for unsuccessful applicants to support their continued efforts to secure employment.

The ‘free interview suit rental’ service—the most popular option among young people—is available up to 5 times per year and can be conveniently accessed through 3 companies that have signed agreements with Osan City.

The support targets youth aged 19 to 39 who are registered as residents of Osan City and have registered as job seekers on the Ministry of Employment and Labor's Work-Net. Applications for the ‘Youth Interview Success Support Set’ are available through the Gyeonggi Province Integrated Job Support Project Application System, while applications for interview consulting and job academy programs can be made through the Osan City Youth Job Support Center's Irujabjap blog.

Mayor Lee Kwon-jae said, “The city is approaching youth employment not as a one-time support measure, but as a continuous and systematic policy,” and added, “We hope this package will help ease the financial burden young people face in the interview process and lead to more successful employment cases.”
