who was not the transcriptionist. The qualitative analysis was performed using principles of phenomenology and the constant comparative method. Specifically, three analysts (1) read all narrative responses and focus group transcripts, (2) systematically coded data via the process of horizontalization, (3) verified and refined codes be performing inter-rater checks, (4) collapsed codes into clusters of meaning; (5) iteratively developed a thematic structure; and (6) prepared textural and structural descriptions of the job matching process. Results: Integration of quantitative and qualitative data revealed that: (1) job matching is a collaborative process, (2) stakeholders consider many different types of data when job matching, (3) current practices in job matching are variable and lack consistency, and (4) outcomes of the job matching process are poorly defined. Conclusions/Significance: Additional resources are needed to support the efforts of stakeholders who make job matching decisions with, or on behalf of, individuals with disabilities. In the absence of formal resources, key stakeholders who utilize a collaborative, consistent, data-driven process for job matching are most likely to observe positive outcomes. Occupational therapists have an opportunity to contribute to positive postsecondary outcomes by supporting the transition to adulthood of people with disabilities. This research reveals that current job matching practices are highly variable and outcomes are poorly defined.
