Background of the Study
Career counseling is a vital component of university support services, helping students make informed decisions about their future careers. However, traditional career counseling systems at many universities, including Federal University, Gusau, located in Gusau LGA, Zamfara State, often lack the personalization and scalability required to meet the diverse needs of the student body. As a result, students may not receive tailored advice or the timely support necessary for successful career development.
AI-powered career counseling systems offer the potential to personalize and optimize the guidance students receive. By utilizing machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and data analytics, AI systems can analyze a student’s academic performance, interests, and career goals to provide personalized career recommendations. This approach not only enhances the counseling experience but also helps students explore career options they may not have considered, based on their strengths and preferences.
Statement of the Problem
Traditional career counseling systems at Federal University, Gusau do not provide personalized advice to students, and the resources available are often limited. The lack of a data-driven, AI-based career counseling system means students may not receive accurate or timely advice that aligns with their skills and aspirations. This limits the effectiveness of career counseling and may hinder students' post-graduation success.
