 1.INTRODUCTION
"Your career is like a garden. It can hold an assortment of life's energy that yields a bounty for
you. You do not need to grow just one thing in your garden. You do not need to do just one thing in
your career."
—Jennifer Ritchie Payette

The word “guidance” originated back in the 1530s, and is defined as the process of directing
conduct. Career guidance can be defined as a comprehensive, developmental program designed to
assist individuals in making and implementing informed educational and occupational choices. In
simple words, it is a journey on which people develop to make mature and informed decisions. It is
the act of guiding or showing the way; it is the act of seeking advice.

Career guidance is the guidance given to individuals to help them acquire the knowledge,
information, skills, and experience necessary to identify career options, and narrow them down to
make one career decision. This career decision then results in their social, financial and emotional
well-being throughout.

In an age where career queries are not uncommon, it’s important to answer queries related to career
guidance or career, in general. Employing artificial intelligence powered tools for career
development is a newly developed technique of assisting people in picking the right career. From
now let’s make it simple; visualize a clever advisor taking note of the things you like or your
aspirations and suggesting suitable career paths. Instead of working in seeking vague information
alone, without utilizing first-hand knowledge, artificial intelligence sifts through thousands of data
such as trends in the market or
industries, average salaries, and even individuals’ likes. If one is good at resolving
issues but enjoys doing creative work, for instance, designing, AI could advocate for
design related employment. This style allows you to consider many factors, reduces the
time taken to search for career paths, and exposes you to a new range of options during
the career search campaign process, making it much more straightforward and
customized to fit your needs.

AI-enhanced career guidance is a modern way of helping people choose the right job path using
artificial intelligence. Imagine having a smart advisor that listens to your interests, skills, and goals,
and then suggests career options that might be a great fit. Instead of just relying on general advice,
AI looks at vast amounts of data, such as industry trends, salary expectations, and personal
preferences, to offer personalized recommendations. For example, if you’re good at problem
solving but enjoy creative tasks, AI might suggest careers in design or tech. This approach helps
you make informed decisions, saves time, and opens up new possibilities, making the career
exploration process clearer and more tailored to you.
AI-Enhanced career guidance works in following manner -:

 2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Seyedali Ahrari, et al (2024). The book "Exploring Youth Studies in the Age of AI" delves into
the intricate relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the youth of Generation AI,
highlighting the dual influence of technological advancement and youthful adaptability in the digital
era. In this paper the chapters are organized around three main themes: digital well-being and
mental health, educational and career development, and socio-demographic diversity and ethical
considerations. Each theme explores how AI influences these areas, offering a holistic view of the
relationship between AI and youth. The book argues for the importance of personalized and
adaptive educational and career guidance, facilitated by AI's capabilities in analyzing large datasets
and tailoring content to individual needs. The book also identifies a gap in comprehensive research
on AI's role in dynamic career planning within vocational education, calling for further studies to
explore how generative AI can enhance career guidance services. Ultimately, the book serves as a
visionary guide, urging readers to engage with the challenges and opportunities of the digital age
and contribute to shaping a future where technology serves the greater good, particularly for the
youngest members of society.

Kehinde Hussein Lawal, et al (2024) The literature review explores the evolving role of AI in
career counseling, highlighting the need for a cloud-based, personalized model due to the dynamic
labor market. Traditional methods are criticized for their outdated practices and limited coverage.
AI offers personalized guidance by analyzing extensive data on market trends and individual
characteristics, enhancing career recommendations. AI-powered platforms can proactively propose
suitable careers, but more research is needed in this area. A collaborative approach involving
students, parents, educational institutions, and industries is emphasized, enhancing communication
and mutual understanding of career paths. The cloud-based model provides wide access,
accommodating more users and meeting the increasing demand for career counseling. Institutions
and industries can benefit by tailoring curricula and identifying future talents. This innovative
model aims to align career choices with individual skills and market demands, ensuring students are
better prepared for the workforce. The prototype was tested with a diverse sample from Nigeria’s
North Central region, demonstrating the model's effectiveness in matching users with suitable
career paths and bridging educational and industrial needs. Though positively received, challenges
such as information overload and data reliability emerged, highlighting areas for improvement in
future iterations.
Sarah Bankins, et al (2024) In a rapidly evolving labor market, traditional career counseling
practices often fall short in addressing the unique skills and preferences of individual learners. The
need for a new approach is crucial, and AI offers a promising solution. By leveraging AI, a cloud-
based life decision-making model can be developed, uniting students, parents, educational
institutions, and industries. Conventional career counseling methods, characterized by outdated
diagnostics and broad labor market information, fail to account for the diverse needs and future job
prospects of learners. AI's potential in personalized career guidance comes from its ability to
analyze large datasets, including market trends and individual profiles, to provide tailored career
recommendations. Studies suggest AI-driven platforms can offer more effective career counseling
by incorporating dynamic data on job market demands. A collaborative model involving students,
parents, educators, and employers can enhance career management, allowing each stakeholder to
contribute to a more informed decision-making process. The cloud-based model provides
widespread access, making career counseling more inclusive and adaptable to technological
advancements and increasing demands.

Jingyi Duan, et al (2024) The evolution of career guidance in vocational education has shifted
from generalized, broad-based advisories to more individualized strategies. Historically, career
guidance catered to the average student, often neglecting individual ambitions and capabilities.
Advances in educational psychology and pedagogy have led to the recognition of the need for
personalized career guidance, emphasizing individual assessments, career coaching, and
personalized learning agendas. These approaches align educational and career paths with students'
interests and goals, leading to more effective career preparation. Generative AI, through
technologies like Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) models, has
significantly contributed to this shift. NLP allows systems to understand and generate human
language contextually, while ML models predict and tailor content to users' needs. In education,
these technologies create personalized learning materials, adaptive learning platforms, and
intelligent tutoring systems. AI's ability to analyze large datasets to identify learning patterns and
anticipate educational needs enhances personalized learning experiences. Despite AI's widespread
use in education, there is a lack of comprehensive studies on its application for dynamic career
planning in vocational education. This gap highlights the need for further research on how
generative AI can innovate career planning and guidance services to be more personalized,
adaptive,anticipatory.

Gedrimiene et al. (2024) explored the advantages and challenges of using an AI-enhanced
Learning Analytics (LA) tool for career guidance. This study, focusing on users' perspectives,
analyzed the tool's effectiveness through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Career
Decision-Making (CDM) model. The researchers found that the AI tool provided significant
support in areas like information provision, research and analysis, career diversification, direction in
decision-making, and self-reflection. Users reported that these features were beneficial in
navigating uncertain life transitions and making informed career choices, highlighting the tool's role
in facilitating smoother career transitions and enhancing decision-making confidence. However,
challenges such as usability issues and the need for more personalized options were also noted,
indicating areas for further development.

Nwoke et al. (2019) In their examination of youth migration in Nigeria, highlight how
socioeconomic challenges, such as limited employment, insecurity, and climate change, drive
young Nigerians to seek better opportunities abroad. Migration, particularly among youths aged 18-
35, emerges as a pursuit for quality education, employment, and personal growth, though it often
leads to significant skill drain within Nigeria (Smith et al., 2014). This trend poses a dual impact: on
one hand, it encourages skill acquisition; on the other, it results in the loss of skilled labor needed
for national development. Jyoti (2021) emphasizes the potential benefits of migration for education
and empowerment, yet notes the barriers faced by underfunded migrants. Further analysis by Owo
(2020) suggests that enhancing digital skills and creating remote job opportunities could counteract
youth migration. These scholars argue that digital skills training and remote work possibilities could
foster job creation and reduce the motivation for young people to leave Nigeria, as seen in programs
like Nigeria’s 3MTT and FGN ALAT Skillnovation.

Sathish et al. examine how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming career development through
personalized career guidance and improved job matching, skill alignment, and employee
engagement. AI-driven platforms, they note, simplify career exploration by using algorithms to
provide customized career path recommendations that align with individuals' unique skills,
interests, and goals. These platforms enhance recruitment by matching candidate profiles with job
requirements and further support skill development through personalized resources, helping users
close gaps in their career paths. Additionally, the chapter underscores the ethical need for
transparency and fairness in AI-based guidance, advocating for policies that address potential biases
to ensure responsible and equitable AI use in career recommendations.

Mahure et al. (2024) present a robust framework for enhancing career guidance systems, focusing
on a multi-faceted approach that integrates secure user authentication, data collection, academic
evaluation, and advanced skill assessments. Central to this system is a Cognitive Decision Support
module, which utilizes analytical tools to interpret users' cognitive responses, generating tailored
career suggestions. Additionally, a career prediction component powered by algorithmic models,
including XGBoost, forecasts potential career paths and recommends compatible institutions
nationwide. A dynamic skill assessment feature adapts to industry trends, helping users pursue
relevant skill development and explore global job markets with cultural insights to support
international opportunities. The system includes a feedback mechanism to drive continuous
improvement, though it faces challenges in managing vast datasets and achieving precise cognitive
evaluations, which may impact the accuracy of its recommendations.

Neufeld et al. (2023) emphasize the significance of career choice as a pivotal decision impacting an
individual’s social, economic, and emotional well-being, echoing Gati and Kulcsar (2021) on the
complexities individuals face when answering, "What do I want to be when I grow up?" The
research highlights the importance of early career exploration, beginning in adolescence, and the
collaborative role played by family, friends, teachers, and guidance counselors in assisting students
through this decision-making process. Neufeld underscores the OECD's (2004) broad definition of
career guidance, which encompasses services that help individuals make informed educational,
training, and occupational choices throughout their lives. Importantly, Neufeld explores how
technology, including AI-powered tools, fits within this definition, providing support that
complements traditional career guidance practices. By integrating AI into instructional design and
career guidance, the study illustrates how these tools can enhance the ability of students to manage
their career paths effectively, positioning AI as an innovative and essential component in modern
career exploration strategies.

Dolhopolov et al. (2022) present a comprehensive study focused on utilizing artificial intelligence
(AI) systems to address the challenge of career guidance for prospective university students. The
research outlines the design and empirical testing of a Fully Connected Feed-Forward Neural
Network (FNN) model, developed to classify professional areas through multi-label classification.
The study includes the creation of a dataset composed of 29 input and 23 output parameters, with a
total of 936 data lines, demonstrating the dataset's suitability for training the neural network. The
authors detail a novel training method that emphasizes the neural network's capacity to reflect and
leverage internal connections for effective learning. Implemented using Python and employing key
libraries such as Keras, Numpy, and Pandas, this research contributes valuable insights into AI-
based career guidance systems. The findings provide a foundation for enhancing the development of
models that can evaluate and improve the skills and knowledge critical for successful career
development.

Westman et al. (2021) explore the current landscape and future potential of artificial intelligence
(AI) in supporting career guidance within higher education. They emphasize that the increasingly
dynamic nature of the labor market and the rising need for lifelong learning pose new challenges for
career guidance services. The authors argue that AI can play a significant role in bridging
educational services with employment needs, thereby enhancing career guidance practices. Through
focus groups, scenario-based workshops, and practical trials, the study identifies both the potential
benefits and obstacles associated with implementing AI in career guidance. These include the
ability of AI to support students in recognizing their skills, proposing study paths, and facilitating
job searches, while also assisting guidance staff by automating routine tasks and enabling more
personalized interventions. However, the authors also highlight barriers such as data accessibility,
ethical considerations, and the necessary competences for staff to effectively integrate AI tools.
Westman et al. conclude that AI, when designed to complement human agency, holds promise for
creating more adaptive, efficient, and accessible career guidance services.
John et al. have examined AI-driven models within career guidance systems, highlighting how
personalized recommendations can be effectively tailored to users' skills and aptitudes. The
literature underscores AI's role in identifying distinct career pathways, as algorithms process
extensive data to align career suggestions with individual personality traits, interests, and aptitudes.
Furthermore, studies advocate for dual-portals within these systems, designed to cater to both
parents and students, thereby creating a holistic support framework. Gamified assessments,
resembling MBTI-type models, are noted for enhancing engagement and precision in evaluating
user aptitudes. Additional research highlights the importance of financial planning and skill
development components, which address essential educational needs and improve the guidance
system’s effectiveness. Together, these studies provide a basis for a user-centric career guidance
system that not only suggests tailored career paths but also fosters skill-building and financial
awareness essential for sustained career success.

Wang et al. (2021) explore the role of machine learning in career counseling, examining current
trends and future directions within the field. The authors highlight that precision education, which
tailors learning approaches to individual student needs, has gained significant interest among
educators and policymakers. They emphasize that understanding students’ learning behaviors and
the impact of their individual differences on learning outcomes is crucial. Machine learning
provides a powerful tool for stakeholders to derive insights from educational data, enabling
predictive tasks that address various aspects of precision education, such as identifying at-risk
students and predicting drop-out rates. However, Wang et al. note that fewer studies focus on the
link between academic performance and career decisions. This gap underscores the need for
research that can enhance precision education by integrating predictions of students' career choices.
Their study evaluates the efficacy of predictive techniques in career decision-making and
demonstrates the feasibility of early detection. The findings offer valuable implications for theory
and methodology, suggesting that predictive modeling can enhance both educational and career
guidance practices.
Monreal et al. (2024) explored the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing career guidance
for secondary school students, especially within the context of the Philippines' K-12 education
system. The study recognized that students face challenges in selecting appropriate academic tracks,
a decision influenced by numerous personal and environmental factors. Leveraging AI in career
guidance could address these challenges by offering personalized and data-driven insights. Monreal
et al. identified that AI-based tools streamline the guidance process for counselors and allow
students to make more informed academic choices. Through a mixed-method approach, including
sentiment analysis and counselor interviews, the study revealed positive feedback regarding AI's
potential to improve decision-making accuracy, efficiency, and alignment with student goals.
Additionally, it highlighted that AI tools support career exploration, which can mitigate the negative
effects of misaligned career paths, such as dissatisfaction and limited advancement opportunities.

o Aptitude Assessment: The system should include AI-driven tools to assess an individual’s natural
aptitudes and strengths, identifying the areas where they are most likely to succeed and find
satisfaction in their work.
o Aspirations and Interests: Incorporate methods to capture and analyze the user’s career
aspirations, interests, and values, ensuring that the recommendations align with their long-term
goals and passions.
o Ability and Experience Mapping: The system should evaluate the user’s current abilities, skills,
and experiences, mapping these against potential career paths to identify where they stand and what
further development might be needed.
o Future Progression and Skill Gaps: Use predictive analytics to identify potential future career
progression opportunities based on industry trends and individual growth potential. The system
should also highlight any skill gaps and suggest targeted learning opportunities to help users
advance.
o User-Friendly Interface: Develop an intuitive, user-friendly interface that makes the career
guidance process accessible and engaging for users at all levels, from students exploring initial
career options to professionals considering a change or advancement.

biases and ensure equitable access to career guidance for all users, regardless of their background.

4. Longitudinal Studies: Conducting long-term studies to track the effectiveness of AI-enhanced

career guidance over time will provide valuable insights. This can help in understanding how these
systems impact users' career paths and success, leading to continuous improvements.

5. Scalability and Accessibility: Expanding the reach of AI-enhanced systems to underserved and
remote areas will be a crucial step. Future work should focus on developing scalable solutions that
can be accessed by a diverse population, ensuring that high-quality career guidance is available to
everyone.
