Abstrak:

This qualitative study was carried out to find the current job opportunities for special needs population in Malaysia and a survey method was employed. The respondents for the study are the special needs individuals who are currently employed in institutions, companies or who are self-employed. The data was analyzed using qualitative and quantitative procedures and frequency counts and percentages were employed. 746 special needs individuals with jobs were identified and the job types undertaken by them can be classified into four categories: professionals, semi-professionals, skilled non professional and unskilled non professional. To ensure more special needs individuals are employed, more employers should come forward to employ them; and, more vocational training centers should be opened. These special needs individuals are our untapped resources and many of whom have many hidden potentials. Given the right training, motivation and encouragement, this group may prove to be better and loyal workers for the country.
