We conducted a survey examining the effective strategies for promoting employment readiness among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) attending inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs. Analysis of data from 59 programs reveals the importance of person-centered planning and specialized instruction. However, while paid employment significantly predicts post-graduation success, only a minority of programs offer these opportunities. Collaboration with vocational agencies and career centers is also vital, yet partnerships are lacking in many programs. Addressing these gaps in support can significantly contribute to facilitating successful transitions from postsecondary education to meaningful employment for individuals with I/DD.
