Many students are faced with the challenge of deciding on a suitable career path. This is because decisions are characterized by a number of subjective judgments. Therefore, choosing a particular career path without first determining the suitability of a student, as a fundamental step, will yield an undesirable outcome. This paper aims at developing a career path decision making model for senior secondary schools. The concept of fuzzy logic was used in developing the model. Crisp sets are converted to fuzzy sets using fuzzy K-nearest neighbor algorithm method. The model was implemented in the MATLAB environment. The performance of the model was evaluated using specificity and accuracy as performance metrics. The results obtained showed the model has accuracy value of 90.22%. This result shows that the model is approximately 90% accurate. Also, it has a specificity value of 96.97%. These results show that the model provides a good support for decision making while eliminating the challenges of indecision and floundering that are characterized with choosing a career path among upper basic school students, that is, Junior Secondary School students. The model will also serve as a tool in enhancing the work of career experts.

Abstract-The article deals with some challenges concerning decision support system (DSS) development for selection of a cooperation form between a higher educational institution and potential students. Nowadays Russian higher educational institutions have to compete with each other to attract best potential students to their educational programs. The selection of the most effective cooperation forms with potential students is a problem for higher educational institutions. For better results University activities should be targeted, meet individual peculiarities of potential students. The paper proposes to select a cooperation form with a glance to potential students' ability to study the programme. We have worked out a conception of an automated decision support system for selection of a cooperation form between a higher educational institution and a potential student. We have developed software for DSS main functions: 1. Evaluation model for assessing applicants' ability to study IT programmes on the basis of a discriminant analysis method; 2. Evaluation model for assessing activity effectiveness to select an appropriate activity set for applicants potentially able to study a particular programme. To approbate a proposed approach with the help of DSS we have done an experimental study to select some cooperation forms between Yurga Institute of Technology, Tomsk Polytechnic University affiliate (YuTI TPU) and applicants potentially able to study IT programmes.

“…HE jobs profiles have been established in many countries and are used extensively by two main categories of users: a) lyceum graduates who are called to choose the field of their further studies and future profession, and b) HE students or graduates wishing to know better the vocational and academic prospects of their specialization. This paper is a further work of a research project titled "Digital map of higher technological education professions -Diguipro" that concerned the analysis and design of a digital guide, a webbased decision support system aiming to support youngsters who are about to enter, study, or have graduated at HE institutions (Kostoglou et al, 2013 and2014). The present work focuses in the development and user-friendly design of an interactive platform which is based on a mobile application aiming to provide all Diguipro functionalities to the user.…”

This work is an attempt to contribute to the knowledge and guidance of young people (lyceum graduates, higher education students and recent graduates) regarding important issues related to their career and vocational prospects. These issues are related to major relevant questions such as 'what' and 'where' to study, as well as the contents and the prospects of all provided specializations by the departments of Greek institutes of higher education. This article focuses on the analysis and the design of a mobile-based decision support system (DSS) to assist its users in getting thoroughly
