摘要：AbstractThis research was conducted to identify the Employment Core Abilities Skills (ECAS) among the Trainees with Physical Disabilities (TPD) in special vocational training institutions and sheltered workshops in Malaysia. The quantitative survey method using researcher made questionnaire adapted from Moraine Park Technical College Core Abilities Skills were used to measure the ECAS in the dimensions of work, communication, learning, cooperation, responsibility, self value and thinking skill. A purposive sampling technique was used in selecting the respondents, and 155 trainees participated in this survey. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and measurement modelling (MM) analysis using AMOS 16 to identify the core skills that are important to ECAS. The study shows that the level of ECAS among TPDs is high, and the MM analysis found that six out of seven core skills have an impact on the TPDs. The “work cooperatively” component was found not so important to ECAS compared to other components of skills. This research proposes several models and suggestions to the relevant departments, institutions, trainers and trainees that can be used as a guideline for employment, assessment, training, teaching and learning of ECAS for TPD in special vocational institutions.
