Project, 2023 –
Inclusive Education and Employment Transition for Youth with Disabilities in Malaysia
A collaboration between Fora Education, the Hong Leong Foundation, and the Malaysian Collective Impact Initiative titled Friends Beyond Labels.
Project Description
Malaysia has made much progress in improving the lives of persons with disabilities, but challenges persist, and opportunities remain important to understand. Specifically, Malaysia is challenged to provide meaningful employment and social participation activities for young adults with disabilities and to ensure a smooth and productive transition from school to work. Our project aims to identify key challenges for the transition from school to post-secondary training and education opportunities to employment, as well as to provide resources such as toolkits and workshops for various stakeholders around these key issues and explore shared opportunities for improvement.
