Description

This study investigated the current status of employment of people with intellectual disabilities that graduate from high schools for special needs education. First, the post-graduation career paths of students in high school for special needs education were identified. Results indicated that over 80% of graduates were intellectually challenged. Also, many of the graduates did not seek employment or higher education. The number of visually impaired and deaf students that entered universities was relatively high. Next, the employment conditions of students with intellectual disabilities that graduated from high schools for special needs education and found employment was investigated. Students that found employment was relatively high in the transportation and cleaning sectors, among others. Moreover, both men and women found employment in production and service occupations. By industry, a relatively more significant number of men were employed in manufacturing industries and women in wholesale and retail industries. Finally, the results of this study are discussed from the perspective of special needs education and employment of people with disabilities.
