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 aspiration.
