Vocational training is an essential component of education for individuals with special needs, equipping them with the necessary skills for employment and independent living. This training focuses on teaching practical job-related skills tailored to each individual's abilities and interests. The primary goal is to enhance employability, self-sufficiency, and integration into society.

Vocational programs cover a wide range of skills, including clerical work, carpentry, computer literacy, retail management, hospitality services, and handicrafts. Training is often hands-on, allowing students to practice real-world job tasks in a supportive environment. Work-based learning experiences, such as internships and apprenticeships, are commonly included to help individuals gain confidence in workplace settings.

Educators, job coaches, and therapists collaborate to create individualized vocational training plans that align with the learner’s capabilities and aspirations. In addition to job-specific skills, these programs emphasize soft skills such as teamwork, communication, time management, and workplace etiquette.

Vocational training plays a critical role in fostering economic independence and social participation. Many special education institutions partner with local businesses and industries to facilitate job placements and supported employment opportunities. By providing structured training and ongoing support, vocational education empowers individuals with special needs to lead fulfilling and productive lives.
