Special education teachers not only bear the important responsibility of implementing the Career Transition Program (CTP) but also play a significant role in assisting students with visual impairments (VI) in obtaining employment after completing their education. This is because many individuals with special needs live in poverty due to their inability to secure suitable jobs, especially those are with visual impairments. Therefore, VI students have the right to receive early training as initial preparation for life after graduation. The purpose of this study is to identify the special education teachers attitude in implementing the Career Transition Program for students with visual impairments. Thus, this study employs a survey method and a quantitative approach using a questionnaire as the data collection instrument. A purposive sampling technique was chosen to meet the predetermined criteria of the study. Data was collected through questionnaire and will be analyzed using the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences Windows Version 27.0. In a conclusion, the results indicate that special needs teachers level of attitudes are high with a total mean score of 3.91. This finding clearly proves that the teachers are well prepared in attitude therefore the CTP can be implemented to help students with visual impairment to gain skills before ending their schooling years.
