Quantitative methods in the form of survey studies using Ecological Theory and Taxonomy Model of Transition Program as well as questionnaires adapted from Team Planning Tool for Improving Transition Education and Services (Paula D. Kohler). The findings of the study showed a very high and high level of mean scores on the five practices in the Transition Program Taxonomy. Meanwhile, there is a linear relationship (at a very high level) between the demographics of the respondents with the Transition Program Taxonomy in the implementation of the Career Transition Programme for special needs students. The implications of the study focus on theories and models related to the study and policies that have a positive and effective impact on researchers other than the readers. In conlusion, the Career Transition Programme should be implemented comprehensively in government and non-government aided schools, especially in the Special Education Integration Program and the cooperation of all parties involved is very important in planning the direction of program implementation effectively also efficiently.Keywords: Transition Program Taxonomy, Career Transition Programme, Special Needs StudentsAbstrakMendapat peluang pekerjaan merupakan cabaran paling besar bagi Murid Berkeperluan Khas (MBK) di Malaysia dan transformasi melalui Program Transisi Kerjaya yang dijalankan terbukti berjaya melatih mereka untuk bekerja.
