Background of the Study
As universities increasingly focus on preparing students for successful careers, predicting potential career paths for students based on their academic performance, interests, and skills has become a valuable tool for career counseling and planning. Traditional career services often rely on interviews and surveys to guide students, but these methods may not always provide comprehensive insights into students’ future career trajectories (Baker & Clark, 2024). Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning models, offers a novel approach to predicting students’ career paths by analyzing large datasets, including academic records, extracurricular activities, and behavioral patterns (Miller & Roberts, 2025).
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University in Lapai, Niger State, presents a fitting case study for exploring the use of AI in predicting career paths for university students. By utilizing AI models to analyze student data and forecast potential career outcomes, the university can provide tailored career guidance, helping students make informed decisions about their future careers. Previous studies have shown that AI can significantly improve career path predictions by considering a variety of factors beyond academic performance, such as personal interests and market trends (Yang et al., 2023). This study aims to investigate how AI can be used to predict career paths for students at Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University.
Statement of the Problem
Career counseling at Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University often relies on traditional methods that do not fully take into account the complex factors influencing career choices. As a result, students may receive generic or inaccurate advice that does not align with their true potential or market demands (Adams & King, 2024). This study addresses the gap by investigating the use of AI in predicting career paths, providing more accurate and personalized career advice to students.
