Youth Development
The ProMICAD System is designed to lay the foundations of a training in the understanding of peoples' characters. Its main feature, the Personal Profiler, can be used by young people at all key stages, helping them to value qualities in themselves that are often ignored or taken for granted. The system has three operating levels according to age and ability and guides and helps users to construct a positive self character study. This profile will delight and be instantly recognisable to all who know them. School- leavers can compile a CV on the system and include the profiles with the CV when applying for jobs.

Careers
ProMICAD provides an exciting new strategy for helping school-leavers to obtain work experience. The system not only makes young people aware of their strengths and shows how they can apply them in the world of work, it also produces a personal profile, written in a business style that has proved conspicuous in attracting the attention of employers. Then, to give those undecided on a career some idea of the vast range of opportunities in commerce and industry, the system lists some 2000 job titles for them to browse through. Careers counsellors will find ProMICAD provides a confidence boost at exactly the right time, putting young people in the right frame of mind for work and conjuring up work scenarios to stir their imaginations. The system is equally effective when used by those with high abilities or vocational aspirations.

Special Education
ProMICAD provides a unique and engaging framework for helping people with special educational needs to recognise positive qualities in themselves and others. The system makes people aware of their strengths and shows how they can apply them in the world of employment. The program advances the work of counsellors by firing a young person's imagination and in some cases bringing about a positive transformation in self perception.

Disruptive behaviour, truancy and disaffection
Experience of using ProMICAD with disaffected young people at a number of youth development centres has shown that it improves classroom behaviour, teacher/pupil relationships and stimulates interest in a work ethic. Encouraging a positive self-image, it raises confidence and reduces the risks of disaffection by young people.
