About EDI

  • The Employment Development Institute was established in January 2000 as a research institute under the supervision of the Korea Employment Promotion Agency for the Disabled, an affiliate of the Ministry of Labor. The founding of the Employment Development Institute stemmed from the need to revitalize R&D activities to meet new challenges due to the changing business environment and the growing need to develop new vocational rehabilitation projects and programs.
