Individuals with intellectual disabilities (IwID) encounter persistent challenges in securing meaningful employment. This is primarily due to their difficulty in accessing information about job opportunities in their residential areas and a lack of guidance on the application process. Understanding their strengths and weaknesses related to job options is also a challenge. Limited access to information further narrows their employment prospects, exacerbated by employers' reluctance to hire individuals with intellectual disabilities. A significant barrier to successful employment is the lack of employability skills. To prepare IwID for independent living, it's essential to assess their current proficiency in employability skills, making it possible to provide the necessary interventions. This study focuses on two crucial 21st-century employability skills: communication and social skills, among adolescents and young adults with intellectual disabilities. The research found that while individuals with mild intellectual disabilities had similar levels of communication and social skills, they outperformed those with moderate intellectual disabilities.
