In its recruitment exam for openings starting April 2026, Iga established a new "multicultural coexistence promotion" category for a limited number of clerical positions, targeting individuals aged 18 to under 40 who have permanent residency or special permanent residency status but are not Japanese nationals.
Fourteen people reportedly applied for the position, with 12 taking the first exam. Two candidates passed the final third exam in November.
