The Career Transition Programme (CTP) is a programme for finding and moving into a new career or starting a career. There is no set period of time for career transition and no limit to the number of times one might decide to change careers. Special Educational Needs Learning Disabilities (SENLD) refers to a child or young person who has special educational needs (SEN) and has learning difficulties or disabilities that make it harder for him or her to learn compared with other special needs children of about the same age. This study aims to explore, understand and explain the Career Transition Programme (CTP) of Special Education Needs Learning Disabilities (SENLD) implemented in an academic secondary school. The school selected for this study was one of the pilot schools for CTP. Six students who graduated from the school and who are working in the industrial sector are participants in the study, which uses qualitative research methodology and the case study research strategy based on unstructured interviews, observation and document analysis. The purposive sampling method is used. The challenges identified as a result of this study include management procedure, roles in the implementation of the programme and student enrolment. The researcher also understands better the existing procedure of the implementation of CTP. It is noted that the existence of a proven guideline would help the school improve the process of the implementation of CTP.
