[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The number of designated rental shops providing free interview suits to young job seekers in Incheon has increased to three.

Incheon Technopark (Incheon TP) announced on the 23rd that it has added 'Shinhwa Majel Incheon Branch' (Seo-gu) to the existing Dream Narae rental shops, 'Classy Tailor Shop' (Bupyeong-gu) and 'Saloto Incheon Branch' (Namdong-gu), and is currently operating them.

Incheon Dream Narae is a program that lends employment interview suits free of charge for 2 nights and 3 days, three times a year, to Incheon youth job seekers aged up to 39, including high school graduates. Since its launch in 2018, over 7,500 young people have borrowed suits more than 10,000 times.

To apply for rental, applicants select a designated rental shop on the Incheon Youth Job Portal (young.incheon.kr), upload interview verification documents, and submit a reservation. Once approved, they visit the rental shop at the reserved date and time.

At the rental shops, interview suit experts recommend appropriate attire considering the interview field and body type, measure and adjust the suit before lending it.

An Incheon TP official said, "This is one of the popular services that provides practical help to young people preparing for the final hurdle of employment, the interview," adding, "We will continue to operate it so that more job seekers can use it."
