The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of specialized vocational training conducted by the Vocational Competency Development Center of Korea Employment Promotion Agency for the Disabled(KEPAD). The specialized vocational training is divided according to the type of disability - visual, hearing, cerebral palsy, and mental illness. Specialized vocational training is a training system designed to meet the needs of the specific disability such as training instruments, methods, trainers and facilities. Success rate of attaining jobs after training, average wage, and retention period were used as indicators on analyzing the training effect. Regression analysis was used to verify the training effect. The results of the study showed that people with disability who participated in the specialized vocational training had a better chance of gaining employment, receiving higher wages, and staying longer with their jobs than people who participated in regular training. This illustrates that specialized vocational training is effective. Based on the results, specialized vocational training need to be increased and professional support system should be implemented.
