This study looks into the difficulties teachers encountered when putting the Career Transition Programme (PTK) for Students with Special Educational Needs (MBPK) into practice as part of Malaysia's Integrated Special Education Programme (PPKI). Seven educators selected by purposive sampling participated in semi-structured interviews using a case study design and qualitative methodology. Six primary challenges emerged from the thematic analysis of the interviews: aspects related to educators, students, curriculum, parents, schools, and locality. Understanding the obstacles to effective PTK implementation for MBPK is aided by this study. By highlighting areas that require development, the ultimate goal is to improve the employability chances of Malaysian MBPK who struggle with studying. In summary, this research elucidates the obstacles confronting the TCP and provides educators with valuable insights to pinpoint areas that require attention to enhance the TCP's execution in Malaysia's Integrated Special Education Programme, ultimately enhancing the employability opportunities for individuals with learning disabilities.
