Abstract	People with intellectual disability are only marginally represented in the labour market, and research has identified several school-related barriers to their labour market participation. This study uses a qualitative method triangulation with eight teacher interviews and nine individualised educational plans (IEPs) to explore how teachers prepare students with mild intellectual disability (MID) for future employment in Norway. Document analysis illustrates which work-related goals teachers incorporate in students' IEPs. In-depth interviews with teachers provide additional information about teachers' efforts about helping their students become valued employees. Findings from this study indicate wide variation and room for improvement in how schools prepare students with MID for employment. Recommendations for research and practice are discussed in the article. (As Provided).
