Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely used in many areas of education, including career counselling, and its application has had a considerable impact on education, institutions, and legislation. In Oman, the system available for career counsellors for tenth grade is a manual professional orientation instrument. The proposed system entails studying the professional orientation instrument (POI), career decision making instrument (CDMI) and career maturity instrument (CMI). These measures will aid students in understanding their personalities prior to profession prediction. The counselling system combines two fundamentally distinct AI techniques namely expert systems (ES) and neural networks (NN), with the identification of the knowledge acquisition, knowledge base, and inference engine forming the foundation of the ES. This paper proposes a conceptual a counselling system to discover the personalities of tenth grade students and then predict the suitable career and personality's type.
