Outcomes of Career Information System Utilization among First-Year High School Students

Journal of Career Development, v48 n5 p767-780 Oct 2021
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Career Information System (CIS) on ninth-grade student's vocational skills self-efficacy, outcome expectations, work hope, and career decision-making difficulties. CIS is a computer-based career intervention designed to help users become more knowledgeable about themselves and occupational options with career planning support. At the midpoint of fall semester, intervention participants (n = 194) were assessed before and after a CIS intervention administered during their health class, while ninth-grade students who were not in the health class (n = 191) served as a nonrandomized control group. Relative to control participants, intervention participants had higher work hope and lower career decision-making difficulties associated with inconsistent information and lack of information. The effects of the intervention did not vary as a function of gender or socioeconomic status. Findings contribute to the scant literature assessing the effects of computer-based career interventions for high school students.
