Demonstrate MBCD - an Internet-based
interactive career-planning system based on the
PIC model
Discuss the desirable features of Internet-based
career–planning systems, and examine the
extent to which MBCD conforms to these
features
Discuss the importance and implications of
computer-assisted career-guidance systems for
career counseling

The Challenge
Career decision-making requires collecting a
vast amount of information
Luckily, Information and Communication
Technologies are available.
The use of a computer-assisted career guidance
system based on the theoretical model can help
overcome cognitive limitations.
There are several computer-assisted career
guidance systems available, most of them on the
Internet.
One of them is MBCD

MBCD
Making Better Career Decisions
MBCD is an Internet-based career planning system that is
a unique combination of
a career-information system
a decision-making support system
an expert system
designed to help deliberating individuals
make better career decisions
The dialogue is divided into distinct stages, corresponding
to the PIC model stages

MBCD’s Key Features (cont.)
Separating the relative importance of aspects
from within-aspect preferences.
For example, important aspects can also be
aspects in which the optimal level is “none”
Eliciting both facets of the individual’s
preferences:
a)
b)
the optimal level
additional levels that the user regards as acceptable
(reflecting the user’s willingness to compromise)

MBCD’s Key Features (cont.)
Each occupation is characterized by a
range of levels within each aspect,
reflecting the within-occupation variance.

MBCD’s Key Features (cont.)
The system provides detailed feedback
and recommendations according to the
user’s input and its effect on the search
results
The dialogue is flexible and the users can
change their responses at any point

11
MBCD’s Key Features (cont.)
Promising alternatives are located by the
Sequential-Elimination search model (Gati,
1986).
But the user can also use a compensatorymodel-based search.
12
MBCD’s Key Features (cont.)
Options to check the quality of the list of
“promising occupations”, including:
“Almost compatible occupations” (i.e.,
sensitivity analysis)
“Why not”
“What if”
“Similar occupations”
“Compare Occupations”
13
MBCD’s Features (cont.)
Initial in-depth explorations is offered by
detailed occupational descriptions

MBCD’s Features (cont.)
The
conclusion of the dialogue:
the user receives a printed summary to
take along for further processing of the
information. The printout also provides
information for the counselor.
The user’s preferences are saved
under a personalized code for future
interactions.

The next session will address
the million dollar question:
Does it really work?
