A Career Guidance System where students can see various career opportunities, the system shows various fields available after 10th, 12th for graduation and after graduation fields are also available. It also lists various colleges available where students can search colleges by their courses. Next the system allows users to give a test. The tests have two levels.
The first level has questions which help us to identify which field the student is interested in and based on this the second level will accordingly ask questions from their interested field. The first level has same questions for all the standards as it is not based on knowledge but on the interests. The second level questions will be from that field in which the student is interested the most, along with questions from other fields. After the successful completion of both the levels, the student will receive his result along with a detailed explanation and advice from us. The explanation will state the reason as to why we feel a certain career is better for him/her and why not the other.
The problem in the existing system as mentioned in the IEEE paper Choosing Career Paths: The Outputs of VTASI Teams, is the use of the Deep Think strategies. The Deep Think strategies are difficult and confusing. Not all Deep Think methods are applicable to all issues. These strategies are restrictive. Also another problem is that the VTASI team will be capable of adding great value only if the team leader is capable of playing the active and proper role. Problems in the existing system mentioned in the IEEE paper of the Multi-expert system design for educational and career guidance is that the approach based on a multi-agent system and ontology. The system requires the use of many agents. The use of many agents requires proper co-ordination between them. This may lead to a lot of confusion. Also this system needs to make use of several scientific methods coming from artificial intelligence.
The proposed system as part of this work is supposed to make a triple works. The first one is to make a better pairing between an individual profile (profile acquired) and that of different trades (profile required) according to a set of criteria involved in the guidance process. The second is to generate adapted training paths in accordance with previously established pairing. The third is dedicated to monitoring the individual to the maturation and implementation of her/his career plan. This pairing is based on a set of factors (criterion) involved in the process of orientation among individual factors - Professional interests, personality traits and values are used to generate a profession capital corresponding to the profile of the individual.
Skills, training, socio-economic status, sex and health- appearance are used, rather, to apply some „filtering‟, that is to say, eliminate the possible trades to adapt the best two possible profiles. In their turn, the trades are subject to a certain categorization according to the criteria, professional interests, personality, values, wages, safety and comfort. The system consists of several applications (modules) namely, a set of actors are solicited by this system; the system is accessed by multiple categories of actors (Students, job seekers, counselors, teachers...); the system is powered by data from external sources; the system is evolutionary in term of contents as well as of services and components; the system uses data coming from several different sources, physically
Career Guidance System is an innovative idea. The opportunities provided by this e-medium are immense and many students can make use of this medium to choose a career more appropriate to their skills. In today‟s competitive and technology driven world, with innumerable options available, the student is generally confused on choosing the right or more suited career. The world these days is moving towards “information streams”. The information is thrown to the user rather than the user learning about the information. Keeping the above in view, it is felt that the proposed system has the ability to connect to various students and help them connect to most suited career.
To conclude, the objective of designing this system is to lend a helping hand to the students aiming for such a career. By using our system, one will be guided towards a career to pursue and how to work towards it.The proposed system currently deals with guiding students in a direction that is right for them i.e. to select a proper career path depending upon the present skill sets and mental abilities. But this is only for academic subjects. The plan for future is to expand this system by including vocational subjects as well. It may be reiterated that at this juncture our objective is entirely on academic subjects and not on vocational subjects as these arise from an individual‟s liking and would need further improvisation on the model
