Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Background
With the rise of technological advancement and an increasing number of career
options, students and professionals often find it challenging to make informed
decisions regarding their career paths. Traditional career counseling methods are often
subjective, time-consuming, and dependent on human judgment, which may lead to
biased or inconsistent recommendations. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine
Learning (ML) offer a data-driven approach to analyze individual preferences, skills,
and personality traits to suggest suitable career paths. Integrating this AI system with
a web-based platform makes it accessible, scalable, and user-friendly, especially for
younger generations accustomed to digital solutions.

1.2 Problem Statement

Many individuals, especially students, struggle with identifying the most suitable
career path based on their unique abilities, interests, and academic performance. The
existing guidance systems are limited in scale, personalization, and consistency. There
is a need for an intelligent, automated system that leverages AI and ML to offer
accurate, personalized career recommendations through an easily accessible web
application.

1.3 Objectives
The primary objectives of the project are:
 To develop an AI-based system that analyzes users’ academic data, interests, and
skills to recommend suitable career paths.
 To design and implement a user-friendly web application for seamless interaction.
 To utilize Machine Learning models trained on career datasets for accurate
predictions.
 To provide detailed insights into recommended career paths, including necessary
qualifications and potential growth opportunities.

1.4 Scope of the Project

The project will focus on the following key areas:
 Data collection (academic performance, interests, aptitude test results).
 Development of ML models for career prediction.
 Integration of the model with a responsive web application.
 Providing career suggestions and guidance resources.
 Limited to academic and early-career planning for students and recent graduates.

Chapter 2: Literature Survey

2.1 Overview
The project is designed to assist users in making informed career choices using AI.
The system accepts user inputs such as grades, subject preferences, and behavioral traits, then
processes this data through a trained Machine Learning model to generate personalized career
suggestions. The results are displayed through a web application interface, making the
solution accessible and interactive. The system also includes a database of careers, required
skills, job descriptions, and educational pathways.
2.2 Traditional vs AI Approaches

Feature Traditional Career Counseling AI-Based Career Recommendation

Personalization Limited Highly personalized
Scalability Not easily scalable Easily scalable to large users
Bias Subject to human bias Data-driven and objective
Time Time-consuming Fast and automated
Feedback Loop Manual and slow Real-time improvements through learning

Traditional methods rely on counselors, standardized tests, and manual

assessments. AI approaches use algorithms to process data at scale,
continuously improving accuracy through feedback and learning mechanisms.

2.3 Computer Vision and Deep Learning

While most career recommendation systems rely on structured data like
grades, test scores, and survey inputs, Computer Vision and Deep Learning can
enhance these systems by analyzing unstructured visual data. These
technologies can be used in the following ways:
1. Personality and Emotion Detection
Computer Vision models can analyze facial expressions, posture, and micro-
expressions from images or videos to assess a user’s emotional state or
personality traits. This data can supplement traditional inputs for more nuanced
career recommendations.
2. Handwriting and Resume Analysis
Deep Learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can
process handwritten documents or resumes uploaded by users. These models
can extract relevant features such as writing style, language fluency, and layout,
offering insights into a candidate’s strengths or areas for improvement.
3. Video Interview Analysis
In systems that incorporate recorded video interviews or answers, Deep
Learning models can evaluate tone, confidence, and communication skills,
helping identify career roles that match soft skill profiles.
4. Data Enrichment
Using vision-based input allows for the inclusion of users with disabilities or
alternative learning styles, making the system more inclusive.
Relevant Technologies
 OpenCV for image processing
 TensorFlow/Keras for building and training deep learning models
 Facial Emotion Recognition using CNNs or RNNs
  Pose Estimation for detecting physical cues during interactions

2.4 Related Work and Research

Several studies have explored the application of ML in educational
guidance:
 Pathak et al. (2020) proposed a model using Decision Trees and Random
Forests for predicting career options based on academic data and
psychometric scores.
 Singh & Sharma (2019) developed a rule-based expert system for career
counseling with limited adaptability.
 CareerGuide.com and Mettl offer commercial AI-powered platforms but
are often subscription-based and lack transparency in recommendations.
 Research indicates that neural networks and collaborative filtering can be
effective in creating adaptive recommendation systems in the career
domain.

Chapter 3: System Analysis

3.1 Existing System
The [[project name] is a full-stack web application designed to provide intelligent
recommendations based on real-time environmental data. It combines a modern web framework (Django)
with machine learning techniques to [[project name], administrators, and agribusiness customers with
insights that can improve planning, resource utilization, and yield outcomes.

This chapter outlines the major components of the system, describing how each module contributes to the
overall functionality. The system architecture is modular, allowing for future expansion and easy
maintenance. The four primary components are: Frontend, Backend, Database, and Machine Learning
Service.

Frontend

The user interface is built using Django templates and styled with Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS
framework that allows for rapid design and consistent aesthetics across pages. The frontend is designed to
be clean, responsive, and accessible, ensuring usability on both desktop and mobile devices.

Key frontend features include:

The frontend interacts with the backend using standard form submissions and can be extended to include
AJAX or API-based data submission in future versions. Mobile responsiveness is achieved using
Tailwind's responsive breakpoints, ensuring optimal user experience on smaller screens.

Backend

The backend is developed in Django 4.x, a high-level Python web framework known for its scalability,
security, and built-in ORM. It handles:

● Routing and Views: URL mappings are created for all major functionalities such as data entry,
prediction, and dashboard access. Views control the logic for rendering templates or processing
prediction requests.
● Authentication and Authorization: Built-in Django auth is used for login, logout, and password
protection. Users are grouped into roles using Django's Group model, enabling role-based access
control.
● Model Integration: The machine learning model is integrated into Django as a Python module. It
is invoked during form processing to generate real-time predictions.
● Data Validation and Security: The backend ensures input validation, uses CSRF protection on
forms, and handles exceptions gracefully to prevent system crashes.

The architecture follows the Model-View-Template (MVT) design pattern, which cleanly separates data,
logic, and presentation layers.

Database

The system uses PostgreSQL as its primary relational database management system. PostgreSQL was
selected due to its robustness, ACID compliance, and support for advanced features such as JSON storage,
indexing, and role management.

Database tables and their roles include:

● User Accounts: Stores information about registered users, their roles, and credentials.
● Prediction Logs: Captures environmental input values, recommended s, timestamps, and user ID
for traceability.
● Training Dataset Management (Admin Only): A provision to upload and manage datasets for
retraining the ML model in the future.
● Feedback Records: Planned for future implementation where can submit feedback on the
recommendation quality.

The Django ORM abstracts SQL queries and handles migrations seamlessly, which simplifies database
operations and schema evolution.
Machine Learning Service

The core intelligence of the system lies in the Machine Learning service, implemented as a standalone
Python module integrated into the Django backend. The service uses a Random Forest Classifier trained
on a structured dataset containing labels and environmental features.

Key components of the ML service include:

● Model Training Script: Written in Python using pandas, scikit-learn, and NumPy. The
model is trained offline and validated using test data before deployment.
● Model Serialization: The trained model is serialized using joblib for efficient storage and fast
loading at runtime.
● Runtime Inference: When a user submits environmental data, the Django view loads the
serialized model and passes the input to generate predictions in real-time.
● Result Output: The prediction result is returned to the user interface along with optional metadata
like confidence score (planned in future).

The design ensures that the model can be updated independently of the web app. Admins can retrain the
model offline and replace the serialized .pkl file without needing to redeploy the entire system.

Integration Workflow

Here’s how the components interact in practice:

1. User Interaction: The user fills out the data to be used for prediction form via the frontend
interface.
2. Form Submission: The input is sent to a Django view through a secure POST request.
3. Model Prediction: The backend view invokes the ML service, loads the model, and performs
inference.
4. Result Storage and Display: The prediction is stored in the database and returned to the frontend
for display.
5. Admin Access (Optional): Admins can view all prediction logs and performance analytics.

This modular and loosely coupled architecture ensures that each part of the system is independently
testable, replaceable, and scalable.

3.2 Proposed System

The proposed system addresses these limitations by offering a custom, content-based

detection tool using supervised learning. The application uses TF-IDF vectorization to
extract features from the text and Logistic Regression to classify.
Key features of the proposed system:

● Accepts content (subject + body) through a web interface.

● Uses a trained machine learning model to classify the input.
● Offers a result page showing the prediction.
● Allows users to register and log in before accessing the tool.
● Designed with a clean UI and scalable backend using Django.

This system is intended as an educational prototype to demonstrate real-world AI integration

in web applications.

3.3 Feasibility Study and Requirements Analysis

A feasibility study was conducted to assess the practicality of the project in terms of
technology, cost, and effort. The results are as follows:

Technical Feasibility: The system is built using widely available open-source tools (Python,
Django, Scikit-learn). No proprietary software or specialized hardware is required. The ML
model is trained offline and loaded into memory during runtime using joblib.

Operational Feasibility: The system is easy to use and deploy. Once trained, the model can
serve multiple prediction requests in real time without needing re-training unless explicitly
required.

Economic Feasibility: Since the system uses open-source tools and publicly available
datasets, there are no direct costs involved. It is feasible for individual developers and
academic institutions.

3.4 Requirements Analysis

3.4.1 Functional Requirements

● User Registration and Login System.

● submission form with subject and body fields.
● ML-based prediction of or not .
● Result page displaying the classification output.
● Admin interface to monitor users (optional).
3.4.2 Non-Functional Requirements

● Usability: Clean, simple UI for ease of use.

● Performance: Fast prediction response (<1s).
● Scalability: Model can be retrained on larger datasets.
● Security: User data stored securely; authenticated access enforced.

Design UI/UX Designer

Key Characteristics
 Categorical data: Both features are text-based.
 One-to-many relationship: One interest can map to multiple careers.
 No missing values: The dataset is clean with 139 complete records.
This dataset is likely used for training a text classification model where the system predicts
the career category based on user interest keywords.

Project Overview
This project is a Machine Learning-based Career Recommendation System integrated
into a Django web application. The system analyzes user inputs such as skills, interests, and
educational background to suggest suitable career options.

Core Components
1. Machine Learning Model (train_model.py)
 The script trains a classification model using data from career.csv.
 It likely uses user-provided keywords (skills/interests) and maps them to appropriate
careers.
 The model is serialized (pickled) and used later in predictions through the web
interface.
2. Input Data (input.txt and career.csv)
 input.txt: Possibly a user input or feature set used in training/testing.
 career.csv: Contains training data mapping user features to career titles.
3. Web Application (Django Framework)
 views.py: Handles the logic for processing form submissions, loading the trained
model, predicting a career, and rendering the result.
 models.py: Contains Django model definitions (though this project doesn’t seem to
rely heavily on database models).
 urls.py: Maps URLs to view functions for routing web traffic.
 Templates (HTML): index.html and others form the UI, allowing users to input data
and view recommended careers.
User Flow
1. User visits the web application.
2. On the homepage (index.html), they fill in a form (e.g., entering skills or interests).
3. The form submission triggers a Django view.
4. The backend uses the ML model to predict a suitable career.
5. The result is displayed back to the user via the web interface.

Django web application for the Career Recommendation

System:

 Django is a powerful Python web framework that simplifies

backend development.
 It provides built-in tools for handling HTTP requests, URL routing,
and templates.
 Django allows easy integration with Machine Learning models
using Python.
 Its Model-View-Template (MVT) architecture separates logic,
design, and data flow.
 It includes built-in protection against security threats like CSRF
and SQL injection.
 Django’s development server enables quick testing and iteration of
web features.
 It handles user inputs and passes them to the ML model efficiently.
 Overall, Django makes deploying and managing the AI-powered
web application seamless.

Admin Panel:
the admin panel is a built-in interface provided by Django to manage database
records.
admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import *

# Register your models here.

Code Explanation:
1. from django.contrib import admin
o Imports Django's admin functionality, which allows you to register
and manage models via the admin site.
2. from .models import *
o Imports all models from the models.py file in the same app. This
makes them available for registration in the admin panel.
3. # Register your models here.
o This is a placeholder. To use the admin panel effectively, you need
to register any model classes like this:

admin.site.register(YourModelName)
Example
from django.db import models

class Career(models.Model):
interest = models.CharField(max_length=100)
recommendation = models.CharField(max_length=100)

This allows you to:

 Add, edit, and delete Career records through the admin panel.
 View the database content without manually querying it.
 Admin Panel Output
Once registered and the superuser is created with:
There you'll see the registered Career model and can manage records in a user-friendly
interface.

Key Django Files and Their Roles

views.py — Handles Business Logic

import pickle
from django.shortcuts import render

def index(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
user_input = request.POST['interest']

# Load the trained ML model

model = pickle.load(open('model.pkl', 'rb'))

# Make a prediction
prediction = model.predict([user_input])[0]

return render(request, 'home/index.html', {'prediction': prediction})

return render(request, 'home/index.html')

Code Explanation:
 On POST (form submission), the user's interest is retrieved.
 A pickled ML model (model.pkl) is loaded.
 The input is passed to the model, which returns a career recommendation.
 The result is sent to the HTML page (index.html) for display.

urls.py — URL Routing

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
]

 Maps the root URL (/) to the index view.

index.html — Web Interface

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Career Recommendation</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Career Recommendation System</h2>
<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<label>Enter your interest or skill:</label>
<input type="text" name="interest" required>
<button type="submit">Get Recommendation</button>
</form>

{% if prediction %}
<h3>Recommended Career: {{ prediction }}</h3>
{% endif %}
</body>
</html>

 Simple form for user input.

 Uses Django template tags to display the prediction.
 csrf_token protects against cross-site request forgery.

Working Process of Django in the Career Recommendation System

Django follows the MVT architecture (Model-View-Template), and here’s how it works
step by step in your project:
1. User Interaction (Frontend – Template)
 The user visits the homepage (index.html) and sees a form asking for their interests or
skills.
 They enter a value like "Data Science" and click Submit.

2. URL Routing (urls.py)

 The request is routed by urls.py, which maps the base URL / to the index view
function in views.py.

3. Business Logic (View – views.py)

 Inside views.py, the view function receives the form data (interest).
 It loads the pre-trained Machine Learning model (model.pkl) using pickle.
 The model predicts a suitable career based on the input.
 The predicted result is sent to the HTML template as context data.

4. Response Rendering (Template – index.html)

  The index.html file receives the prediction and dynamically displays it below the form
using Django's template language ({{ prediction }}).
 The user sees something like:
Recommended Career: Data Scientist

5. Behind the Scenes (No Model in DB)

 In this specific app, Django’s database models (models.py) are not actively used,
since the prediction is based entirely on user input and a static ML model.
 However, Django’s architecture allows for future expansion, like saving user history,
feedback, or preferences in a database.
(use case digram can be rfered)

Flow
User Input → URL Routing → View Logic → ML Prediction → Rendered Result

complete Machine Learning (ML) implementation inDjango-based Career

Recommendation project

1. Data Preparation

career.csv (sample content):

Interest RecommendedCareer
Data Science Data Scientist
Programming Software Developer
Finance Financial Analyst
Machine Learning ML Engineer

ML Model Training Script

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer
from sklearn.naive_bayes import MultinomialNB
import pickle

# Load dataset
data = pd.read_csv('career.csv')

# Features and labels

X = data['Interest']
y = data['RecommendedCareer']

# Convert text data to numeric features

vectorizer = CountVectorizer()
X_vectorized = vectorizer.fit_transform(X)
# Train the model
model = MultinomialNB()
model.fit(X_vectorized, y)

# Save the model and vectorizer for later use

pickle.dump(model, open('model.pkl', 'wb'))
pickle.dump(vectorizer, open('vectorizer.pkl', 'wb'))

print("Model training complete and saved.")

It begins by loading a dataset (career.csv) that contains two columns: user interests (Interest)
and corresponding career recommendations (RecommendedCareer). The interests, which are
in text form, are converted into numeric features using CountVectorizer, a tool that
transforms text into a matrix of token counts.

The transformed data is then used to train a MultinomialNB (Naive Bayes) classifier. Once
trained, the model is capable of predicting a career based on a new text input describing a
user’s interest. Both the trained model and the vectorizer are saved using Python’s pickle
module so they can be reused in a Django app without retraining. When integrated with
Django views, this model takes user input from a form, transforms it using the vectorizer, and
generates a prediction. The result might be something like recommending "Data Scientist"

Using the ML Model in Django

views.py (Prediction Logic in Django):
import pickle
from django.shortcuts import render

# Load vectorizer and model once

vectorizer = pickle.load(open('vectorizer.pkl', 'rb'))
model = pickle.load(open('model.pkl', 'rb'))

def index(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
user_input = request.POST['interest']
input_vector = vectorizer.transform([user_input])
prediction = model.predict(input_vector)[0]
return render(request, 'home/index.html', {'prediction': prediction})

return render(request, 'home/index.html')

How Prediction Works:
 Takes form input (e.g., "Data Science").
 Transforms it using the same vectorizer used during training.
  Feeds the transformed input into the trained model.
 Returns a predicted career (e.g., "Data Scientist").

4. Web Output (index.html)

<form method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="interest" placeholder="Enter your interest">
<button type="submit">Get Recommendation</button>
</form>

{% if prediction %}
<h3>Recommended Career: {{ prediction }}</h3>
{% endif %}

This HTML code represents a simple Django template form that takes user input for career
recommendation. The form uses the POST method to securely send data to the server, and
includes {% csrf_token %} to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery, a standard Django
security measure.
The input field lets users type in their interest, such as "Artificial Intelligence," and the
submit button sends the data to the backend view.
When the form is submitted, the Django view processes the interest input, uses the saved
machine learning model to make a prediction, and returns the result. If a prediction exists in
the context, it is displayed using Django’s template syntax.
The {% if prediction %} block ensures that the output appears only after the user submits a
valid input. The result is shown as a recommendation, such as: "Recommended Career: AI
Engineer." This creates a dynamic user experience without page redirection.

1. ML Model Development
 A dataset (career.csv) containing Interest and RecommendedCareer is used to train a
text classification model.
 CountVectorizer converts user interests (text) into numerical format.
 MultinomialNB (Naive Bayes classifier) is trained on the vectorized data.
 The trained model and vectorizer are saved using pickle as model.pkl and
vectorizer.pkl.
2. Django Web Application
 A Django project is created to provide a web interface for users to input their
interests.
 The main components are:
o views.py: Handles user requests and connects to the ML model.
o index.html: Frontend page with a form for user input and displays prediction.
o urls.py: Routes the base URL to the correct view (index).
3. Connecting Django with the ML Model
 When a user submits the form:
o Django captures the interest via POST in views.py.
o The interest is passed to the loaded vectorizer and ML model.
o The model predicts a career based on the input and returns it.
 The prediction is sent back to index.html and displayed.

Chapter 6: Results and Discussion

6.1 Model Accuracy

Dataset:
 Contains 100 records, generated by repeating 20 unique interest-career pairs 5 times.
  This ensured that the test set contains familiar patterns and vocabulary from training.
Vectorization:
 CountVectorizer transformed interest strings (e.g., "Data Science") into numerical
vectors.
 Since vocabulary was consistent between training and test data, the model performed
well.Model:
 MultinomialNB (Naive Bayes) was used for classification.
 It learns the probability distribution of career labels given word features.
Accuracy:
 Achieved 80% accuracy, meaning 4 out of 5 test predictions were correct.
Why This Works
1. Sufficient Data: Repetition helps the model generalize patterns.
2. Consistent Vocabulary: Ensures words in the test set are known to the model.
3. Balanced Classes: All career categories were evenly represented.

6.4 Adavantages

1. Personalized Guidance: AI tailors career suggestions based on individual interests,

skills, or preferences, providing more relevant and accurate recommendations than
generic career lists.
2. Real-Time Feedback: Integrated into a web app, users can instantly receive career
suggestions without waiting, enhancing usability and engagement.
3. Scalability: Once deployed, the AI model can serve thousands of users
simultaneously through the web, making it ideal for educational institutions or career
counseling platforms.
4. Data-Driven Decisions: AI analyzes patterns from large datasets, leading to more
informed and objective career advice compared to traditional manual counseling.
5. Continuous Improvement: The system can be updated with new data and user
feedback, allowing the model to evolve and improve over time.
6. Accessibility: A web app makes the system accessible from any device with internet
access, helping users across different regions and backgrounds.
7. Cost-Efficiency: It reduces the need for one-on-one sessions with career counselors,
offering a low-cost or free alternative for users seeking career guidance.

Limitations
 1. Data Dependency: The accuracy of recommendations heavily depends on the quality
and diversity of the training data; biased or incomplete data can lead to poor
suggestions.
2. Lack of Human Insight: AI cannot fully understand a user's emotions, personality
traits, or life context, which are often important in career decisions.
3. Static Model Limitations: If the model isn't frequently updated with new career
trends and job market shifts, its suggestions may become outdated.
4. Oversimplification: AI may reduce complex human aspirations into a single output,
overlooking nuanced preferences or multifaceted skill sets.
5. Privacy Concerns: Collecting and processing user input for predictions raises data
privacy and security issues, especially if sensitive information is involved.
6. Limited Adaptability: AI models may struggle with ambiguous or unusual inputs
that a human counselor could interpret more effectively.
7. Lack of Accountability: When users rely on AI advice, there's often no clear
responsibility if the guidance turns out to be inappropriate or misleading.

Chapter 7: Conclusion and Future Work

Conclusion
In today’s fast-evolving world, where students and professionals are often
overwhelmed by a multitude of career choices, the integration of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) into career counseling has proven to be a game-changer. This
project demonstrates how a Machine Learning-based career recommendation
system, coupled with a Django web framework, can offer users intelligent,
accurate, and timely suggestions based on their interests. By bridging data
science and web technology, the system creates a seamless user experience,
empowering users to make better-informed career decisions.
The system was trained on a structured dataset that maps various user
interests to appropriate career paths. Using the Naive Bayes classification
algorithm and CountVectorizer for text processing, the model learns patterns
from past data to predict suitable careers. Even with a limited dataset, the model
achieved an accuracy of 80% when evaluated on a logically expanded dataset.
This level of accuracy indicates that such a model can be a valuable preliminary
tool in the career decision-making process, especially when further enhanced
with more comprehensive real-world data.
The Django web framework plays a crucial role in this application by
serving as the bridge between the user interface and the ML model. It handles
user requests, processes form inputs, integrates the ML model's prediction logic,
and renders the result back to the user in a clear and interactive way. Django’s
robustness, scalability, and simplicity make it an excellent choice for building
web-based ML applications. The use of the Django admin panel and form
validation also improves data security and user experience.
This project not only proves the feasibility of AI in career
recommendation but also highlights the importance of combining machine
intelligence with intuitive user interfaces. With minor modifications, the system
can be scaled to include more features such as personality assessments,
academic records, or even job market trends, making it even more dynamic and
personalized. Additionally, with integration of better NLP models and deeper
datasets, future versions can achieve much higher predictive accuracy.
In conclusion, this project successfully demonstrates how machine
learning and modern web development can come together to solve real-life
problems. It has the potential to significantly benefit educational institutions,
career counselors, and individuals seeking clarity in their career paths. With
continued development and data expansion, this AI-based system can evolve
into a highly reliable digital career advisor for the 21st-century workforce.

Future Enhancements

1. Integration of Psychometric and Personality Tests

 o Incorporating psychometric assessments like MBTI, Holland Code, or Big
Five traits can help deliver more personalized recommendations.
o This allows the system to match careers not just by interests, but also by
personality compatibility and cognitive preferences.
2. Use of Advanced NLP and Deep Learning Models
o Replacing CountVectorizer with more advanced techniques like TF-IDF,
Word2Vec, or even transformer-based models like BERT can improve text
understanding and prediction accuracy.
o Deep learning models such as LSTM or attention-based models can also be
applied for deeper insight into user inputs.
3. Real-time Job Market Integration
o Linking the system with real-time job portals (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed APIs) to
suggest careers that are in demand can increase the relevance of
recommendations.
o This can help users align their interests with current job trends and
opportunities.
4. Academic and Skill-Based Recommendation
o Future versions can analyze user academic records, skills, and certifications to
offer more tailored career paths.
o Integration with platforms like Coursera or Udemy APIs can suggest learning
paths for career transitions.
5. User Dashboard and History Tracking
o Developing a personalized user dashboard where users can view past
recommendations, receive updates, and track their progress over time.
o This feature will help users make long-term career planning more effective
and goal-oriented.
