- Abstract
Globally, the main goals of education and training of students with disabilities are to prepare them for independence and employment. Hence, it is important for students with disabilities to be equipped with employability skills in order to adapt to changing environmental demands. Hence, a study with five main objectives was conducted specifically on Pre-Vocational Programme implemented in 28 selected government secondary schools. First aim was to identify employability skills that were integrated by teachers in the lessons. Second aim was to identify employability skills emphasised by employers. Third aim was to explore teachers’ and employers’ perspectives on employability skills according to importance placed by them. Fourth aim was to identify challenges faced by teachers in teaching employability skills. Fifth aim was to ascertain suggestions in teaching employability skills. The findings provide insights into how teachers can be supported to develop students’ employability skills as a preliminary step towards positive outcomes.
