- Summary:
-
Part of a comprehensive career guidance system in Canada, Computerized Heuristic Occupational Information and Career Exploration System (CHOICES) is an interactive computerized career information system in both French and English that allows people to interrogate and explore two data bases: one, a comprehensive, up-to-date file of occupations organized by Canadian province, and the second, a file of all postsecondary educational/training institutions in Canada. By using its files, people can examine the ways in which their own interests, abilities, expectations, education, and other personal characteristics influence the range of opportunities available to them. The Occupations File can be accessed by thirteen different approaches, of which the Occupational Titles route has a unique capability: besides giving specific information about the 650 occupations covered by the data base, it can compare three occupations at a time and can generate lists of related occupations. For optimum benefit, the system should be used in conjunction with a career counselor who can pre-plan the interaction and evaluate the output. By providing career information in an unbiased and systematic manner, it shows all of an individual's occupational choices, and by allowing one to interact directly with the system, it increases an individual's level of participation in the counseling process and, in general, facilitates more meaningful client-counselor communication.
