Background of the Study
Predicting student career success is a complex and critical task in higher education, as it helps in shaping personalized academic paths, career counseling, and mentorship programs. Traditionally, career counseling has been based on broad assessments, such as standardized tests or personal interviews. However, with advancements in AI, predictive models can now analyze a wide range of factors, including academic performance, personality traits, extracurricular activities, and social engagement, to predict career outcomes more accurately. These models can help students make informed decisions about their career paths and academic strategies.
Umaru Musa Yar’adua University, Katsina, faces challenges in providing personalized career counseling and guidance due to the diverse needs of its student population. Although traditional career counseling services exist, they are often limited in their scope and effectiveness, as they do not incorporate data-driven predictions that could optimize students' career success. The introduction of AI-based predictive models could provide more tailored career guidance, helping students navigate their academic journey in a way that aligns with their strengths and goals. This study explores the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing AI-based predictive models for career success at Umaru Musa Yar’adua University.
Statement of the Problem
Career counseling services at Umaru Musa Yar’adua University are limited in their ability to provide personalized guidance based on the individual strengths, interests, and career goals of students. Traditional methods of advising, which typically focus on general recommendations, often fail to predict or optimize career success effectively. AI-based predictive models, which can analyze multiple data points and trends to forecast career outcomes, offer a promising alternative but have not been extensively explored within Nigerian universities. This study seeks to investigate the potential of AI in improving career success predictions for students at Umaru Musa Yar’adua University.
