They are more difficult in securing job opportunities. Thus disability employment promotion has become an important issue. In Taiwan, more and more social enterprises engage themselves in promoting the employment of the disabled. At first, non-profit organizations tried to set up sheltered workshops to assist the disabled. Later, more and more individuals, institutions set up corporate-type social enterprises. However, developing disability employment social enterprises is not easy. The research attempts to understand the reasons, missions, and business items of the NPO-type and corporate-type disability employment social enterprises. Meanwhile, the research hopes to know about the challenges that the NPO-type and corporate-type disability employment social enterprises face in the aspect of policy and rules, human resources and financial resources, management and business relationship. The data was collected by employing the documentary approach and the semi-structured interview approach. The results of this study were as follows: The NPO-type social enterprises originated earlier than the corporate-type.Business items of the NPO-type are homogeneous while the corporate -type displays more diversity. The NPO-type don’t regard themselves as the social enterprises. The NPO-type rely more on the government while the corporate-type are more independent. Both of the NPO-type and corporate-type endeavor in undertaking the work integration, the job redesign of the disabled workers and making good use of assistive devices in order to perform their duties well. They all face the difficulty of finding the talents and inadequate staff. The NPO-type oppose making special laws and corporate-type support the special laws. They make complaints about the government rules and regulations. They are conservative in financial management and do not seek bank loans and venture capitals. They all have poor marketing strategies and place a high value on the quality of their goods and services. They establish cooperation relationship with enterprises. . Finally, the recommendations were as follows: 1. The government should make the definition of the social enterprise clear. 2. The government should change its thinking about subsidy programs, and diversify its fundraising approaches. 3.The government should integrate the resources and strengthen ties with the international communities. 4. The government should simplify the red tapes and treat social enterprises as partners. 5. The government should nurture social enterprise talents. 6.
