Employees are the most important asset of any organization regardless of their capabilities. Even though the number of disabled people currently employed in Malaysia labour workforce still consider small, their rights for training and development opportunities cannot be ignored. Due to globalization, boundaryless world and current outbreak of Corona Virus (COVID-19), the need for virtual training and development have increased gradually. However, due to the limited number of reported training conducted, therefore, knowledge related to its effectiveness are also inadequate. This review of past studies from 2016-2020 has been conducted to fill in the gap by proposing a framework related to factors influencing training effectiveness among disabled people. Google Scholar has been used as a general searching platform that will direct researchers to scholarly academic electronic databases such as Emerald, Springer Link, and Wiley Online Library. Based on Training Engagement Theory developed by Sitzmann and Weinhardt (2015), this study has proposed a research framework for further investigation. Implications for future research also provided at the end of this article.
