Abstract
This paper evaluates the status of occupational skills and willingness of transgender population to change and switch over to other jobs in the study area. The study covers five districts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province with a total sample size of 100, as their total population is unknown and scattered. Their population in all five districts is mostly found uneducated. Presently they are engaged in such professions which are not socially considered as honorable. A positive aspect of transgender population with respect to employment is that there is a high tendency of willingness to adopt other honorable professions. Their choice of acceptance of other professions is interesting but they need government support to adopt the professions of their choice.
