Education Components for a Career Information System. Final Project Report for Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education.
Oregon Univ., Eugene. Career Information System.
This report describes how the Oregon Career Information System (CIS) expanded its career information files by adding three new files relevant to education information. Descriptions are given of the Preparation file, containing information specifying various ways to prepare for a particular occupation; the Program file, which describes a complete array of educational and training programs; and the School file, which provides comprehensive institutional information such as degrees offered, financial aid, and housing. It is reported that the educational components were field tested to determine their value to individuals making career decisions, and that response of CIS users indicated that the components were easy to use, relevant to users' career planning, comprehensive in the scope of information provided, and well integrated with the rest of CIS. Also, the expanded system was found to have substantial impact on occupational and educational choices. The adult market for career information and the impact of CIS on other agencies are also analyzed. (Author/TA)
