Purpose:
The main aim of this article is to provide an introduction to the Korean Employment Promotion Agency for the Disabled (KEPAD), and to provide comparative thought regarding government-based vocational rehabilitation service delivery between South Korea and the USA.
Method:
Relevant literature is considered, and current issues and comparative discussion in practice are highlighted.
Results:
Introductory information in terms of organization, eligibility, services and programmes are presented. In addition, practical problems associated with the KEPAD system and a cross-cultural analysis is elaborated, comparing the USA and South Korean vocational rehabilitation systems.
Conclusion:
KEPAD has successfully derived public support and acknowledgement of its national responsibility in ensuring vocational rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities. The KEPAD system demonstrates a unique approach in implementing vocational rehabilitation services by providing various benefits for both employers and persons with disabilities. However, considerable cautiousness in terms of cross-cultural analyses is required for international application. Furthermore, successive research of rehabilitation infrastructure is warranted.
