Significance of the study
The significance of the study was as follows:
1) Some students did not begin to explore ‘real’ career possibilities until after
graduation. Academic colleges, technical colleges, industry, and armed forces could
provide students with relevant information earlier in their schooling. They could be more
aggressive, giving students information they could test and use in their daily studies and
apply to their career choice.
2) Before graduating, some students have not considered enough alternative
choices in career selection to justify making an informed decision. Sources of influence
such as parents or mentors could be brought into a circle of counseling and discussion, to
help the student form a comprehensive career plan or outline.
3) Industry could examine where, why, and when it could be beneficial for them
to invest resources to train and educate students.
4) If career planning were implemented in an efficient manner, students would at
the very least be following a career plan of informed decision-making, rather than one of
happenstance.
