摘要：AbstractThis research investigated perceptions of hearing-impaired students in identifying the effectiveness and experiences which facilitated their successful transition from secondary and post-secondary education into adult life and employment. These studies had indirectly identified barriers faced by hearing-impaired students during their transition from high school to community living as perceived by educators and employers. A total of 85 hearing-impaired employees are involved as respondents to answer the questionnaire and 10 individuals from various sectors will be identified as participants in the qualitative data. The findings indicated 55.3% agreed that the counsellor/teacher helped in securing employment, and 74% agreed that school programs did not help with job placement. The study also showed that communication is the main factors that prevented hearing-impaired worker to participate in the employment sector. Other factors include level of education, personality, perceptions of the deaf and the employers.
