In this part I will briefly • Demonstrate MBCD - an Internet-based interactive career-planning system based on the PIC model   • Discuss the desirable features of Internet-based career–planning systems, and examine the extent to which MBCD conforms to these features • Discuss the importance and implications of computer-assisted career-guidance systems for career counseling

  3. The Challenge • Career decision-making requires collecting a vast amount of information Luckily, Information and Communication Technologies are available. • The use of a computer-assisted career guidance system based on the theoretical model can help overcome cognitive limitations. • There are several computer-assisted career guidance systems available, most of them on the Internet. One of them isMBCD

  4. MBCD Making Better Career Decisions MBCD is an Internet-based career planning system that is a unique combination of • a career-information system • a decision-making support system • an expert system designed to help deliberating individuals make better career decisions The dialogue is divided into distinct stages, corresponding to the PICmodel stages

  5. MBCD’s Key Features (cont.) • Separating the relative importance of aspects from within-aspect preferences. • For example, important aspects can also be aspects in which the optimal level is “none” • Eliciting both facets of the individual’s preferences: • the optimal level • additional levels that the user regards as acceptable (reflecting the user’s willingness to compromise)

  9. MBCD’s Key Features (cont.) • Promising alternatives are located by the Sequential-Elimination search model (Gati, 1986). • But the user can also use a compensatory-model-based search.

  10. MBCD’s Key Features (cont.) • Options to check the quality of the list of “promising occupations”, including: • “Almost compatible occupations” (i.e., sensitivity analysis) • “Why not” • “What if” • “Similar occupations” • “Compare Occupations”

  11. MBCD’s Features (cont.) • Initial in-depth explorations is offered by detailed occupational descriptions

  12. MBCD’s Features (cont.) • The conclusion of the dialogue: • the user receives a printed summary to take along for further processing of the information.
