DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTERIZED CAREER SELECTION SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF UNIVERSITY OF BENIN DEMONSTRATION STAFF SCHOOL)

Career selection is one of the many important choice all secondary students will have to make at one point of their life to determining their future plans. From research it has been duly noted that student making career choice has been a big problem among students in Nigeria and also the factors that affect the students’ career choice such as family background, finance or peer pressure. Also from research it was deduced that most secondary school have that false mentality that a school can function properly without the activities of the career selection counsellors, because of extra cost of employing career selection counsellors. The main objective of this project is to create a computerized career selection system that will aid secondary students in selecting the proper career according to their academic abilities, best subject, career knowledge and extracurricular activities. This computerized career selection system will not only aid the students but also automate the job career counsellors in doing their job efficiently and passing the latest information on careers to the students.
