Deciding on a career path can be an overwhelming task for students. Finding all of the information needed can be tough, but one aspect to consider will be the career you want to pursue. Universities and other job placement centres provide a great service for helping students with their decisions, but often they cannot assist students with individual advice due to the large number of students they are attempting to assist. New career education options for students have started to develop through the use of AI avatar technology.
Instead of going through face-to-face workshops or reading printed material, students now have the ability to see and hear an avatar lead video content that will help them to explore and identify all of the career opportunities available to them in an interactive manner. Tools such as Pippit will make it much easier to create educational videos that detail career choices, interview preparation, workplace expectations, and professional development topics.
Assisting students in clarifying their career options
Many college students are unsure about how their hobbies and skills could lead to a career. Career exploration materials can help students make major decisions about their education before they even know what options exist. Universities could create a variety of avatar-based videos covering:
-
Training opportunities within different industries
-
Job duties and responsibilities
-
Job requirements and expectations
-
Educational requirements
-
Employability skills and characteristics
-
Trends in emerging jobs
-
Opportunities for career advancement
When this information is presented in an engaging manner, students become more engaged in seeking out options, and consequently, they can be more informed when making career-related decisions.
Providing career support outside of class hours
Each career centre may have limited hours and students may come for guidance at different times of the day. Some learners like to look for opportunities after school, on weekends, or when they are not in school.
