Career Transition Program (CTP) for students with special education needs (SSEN) was implemented into Secondary Special Education Standard Curriculum in 2019. Although students are trained with various skills throughout this program, it was found that SSEN working ability is low, employers have lack knowledge of SSEN and parents are lack of information regarding the skills program conducted in school. Thus, this study aims to identify the level of implementation of CTP for SLD from the aspect of student-focused planning and the aspect of student development. A quantitative survey was conducted to collect data in Ranau, Tambunan, Keningau and Tenom. A simple random sampling technique is used to obtain the samples in the study. Questionnaires were distributed in Google Form through Whatsapp and Telegram while findings were analyzed descriptively with SPSS. This study found that the implementation of CTP from the aspect of student-focused planning and the aspect of student development was at moderate level. These findings enable school administrators to detect aspects of which to be improved in the implementation of this program. Collaboration between schools, parents and employers is needed to ensure the effectiveness of the implementation of CTP.

Underemployment, which occurs when baccalaureate degree holders are employed in occupations that do not require or fully use a college-level degree (Lederman, 2018), challenges the notion that a college degree alone adequately prepares a student for a satisfactory level of employment based on education level. During 2018 and 2019, the higher-ed capstone team conducted this study to identify predictive characteristics of underemployment among undergraduate alumni from a large, public, urban, Tier-1 research university. Although identifying underemployment characteristics was the primary impetus for the research, the team instead discovered three primary predictors of adequate employment from the analysis. Higher education institutions and policy leaders may be able to better ensure students gain employment, particularly during challenging economic times, by encouraging student participation in internships, extracurricular activities, and the selection of STEM majors.
