This study aims to explore, understand, and explain the role of Job Coach support services in the implementation of the Career Transition Program for Special Education Needs Students. The Career Transition Program is a systematic initiative designed to assist MBPK in transitioning from school to employment. This study utilizes previous literature to explore the Job Coach services available in Malaysia. An analysis of past studies revealed that there are five articles related to Job Coach research from 2018 to 2024. This indicates that research on Job Coaches is still limited in the country. Therefore, this study recommends that more research be conducted on the role and effectiveness of Job Coaches to strengthen support for Special Education Needs Students in facing the transition to the workforce. Further research should also consider more holistic and inclusive approaches to enhance employment opportunities and social integration for Special Education Needs Students in Malaysia.
