A Research on the Effectiveness and Activation Strategies of Vocational Training Programme for the Disabled

장애인 직업훈련사업의 효과성과 활성화에 관한 연구

This study is about the effectiveness and activation strategies of vacational training programme for the disabled guided by the Ministry of Labour and the Korea Employment Promotion Agency for the Disabled(KEPAD). This research employed quantitative approach. The quantitative research used the samples of 853 disabled people who had finished vocational training programme during recent 3 years. In this research the effectiveness is categorized into two ; product effectiveness and employment effectiveness. Product effectiveness is influenced by the kind of train-center, train-area, train-length. The KEPAD, non-IT job area and train-period over 6 month are more effective. Employment effectiveness is significantly influenced by demo-sociological factor rather than disability factor. Especially the kind of train-center is very important to be employed for the disabled. This implicates that choice of train-center by the disabled and effective management of it by the public sector is very important in developing employment. Effective management, stated above, includes reengineering programmes and functions accountable to the need form the trainee, bridging the gap among train-centers in terms of performance, differentiation of financial support according to the product to save the public fund, encouraging one special programme in one train-center.

본 연구는 현행 노동부와 한국장애인고용촉진공단이 주도하는 직업훈련사업의 효과성을 분석하고자 실시되었으며 장애인직업훈련시설수료생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 장애인 직업훈련의 효과성은 '생산성 효과'와 '취업효과'로 개념화하였고 '생산성 효과'는 자격증 취득, 자아효능감, 교육성취도 변수로 측정되었으며 분석결과 훈련시설유형, 훈련직종, 훈련기간이 주요한 요인으로 나타났다. '취업효과' 즉 훈련수료 후 취업가능성에 영향을 미치는 요인은 훈련시설로 나타나 훈련생산성보다 훈련시설의 취업노하우와 훈련생관리가 취업에 더 중요한 요인임을 예측할 수 있었다. 따라서 장애인직업 훈련사업의 효과성을 높이기 위해 프로그램과 교육자원을 공유할 수 있도록 공공, 민간, 보건복지부산하 훈련시설의 기능을 재정립하여 훈련시설 간 직업훈련 효과의 격차를 줄이고, 지역별 훈련사업을 특성화시키며, 장애인고용촉진기금의 효율적 운용을 위해 실적에 따른 지원차등화가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
