“…This lack of support leads to many students facing confusion, depression, and other mental health challenges as they struggle to pave a path toward a prosperous future [42,43]. Making an ill-informed decision about one's academic or career pursuits can result in severe consequences, such as dropping out of school [5], poor job performance, decreased community involvement, and, ultimately, the hindrance of society's growth.…”

“…It reinforces their decision-making skills and assists them in finding their own path rather than offering instructions or readymade solutions [2]. Educational counseling has a profound impact on student's lives and futures [3], as the choice of a specific field of study upon entering higher education holds immense weight in shaping a student's career path and can significantly impact the likelihood of securing employment in a related field, as well as the potential for long-term career growth and success [4][5][6]. This makes educational counseling a fundamental component in establishing a smooth connection between the realms of academia and the professional sphere [7].…”

Over the past few decades, the education sector has achieved impressive advancements by incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the educational environment. Nevertheless, specific educational processes, particularly educational counseling, still depend on traditional procedures. The current method of conducting group sessions between counselors and students does not offer personalized assistance or individual attention, which can cause stress to students and make it difficult for them to make informed decisions about their coursework and career path. This paper proposes a counseling solution designed to aid high school seniors in selecting appropriate academic paths at the tertiary level. The system utilizes a predictive model that considers academic history and student preferences to determine students’ likelihood of admission to their chosen university and recommends similar alternative universities to provide more opportunities. We developed the model based on data from 500 graduates from 12 public high schools in Morocco, as well as eligibility criteria from 31 institutions and colleges. The counseling system comprises two modules: a recommendation module that uses popularity-based and content-based recommendations and a prediction module that calculates the likelihood of admission using the Huber Regressor model. This model outperformed 13 other machine learning modules, with a low MSE of 0.0017, RMSE of 0.0422, and the highest R-squared value of 0.9306. Finally, the system is accessible through a user-friendly web interface.

“…According to Whibbs and Holmes (2019), individuals often choose to attend culinary school for intrinsic reasons (e.g., a connection to food). Soo Kim (2020) found that students who pursue college majors based on extrinsic factors such as family influence or potential earnings alone are more likely to change majors or drop out. The data also reflects that, although most participants initially chose to follow other college majors or career paths before turning to culinary, each participant cited their passion for culinary and their perception that a culinaryrelated career would increase their chances of career satisfaction as additional motivating factors.…”

Historically, there has been conflict in regards to the perceived value of postsecondary culinary education between those who feel culinary school better prepares students to enter the foodservice industry versus those who claim that claim culinary careers can be entered without formal training and everything that needs be known can be learned on the job. The typical assessments regarding the value or return on investment of college programs emphasize graduation rates, employability, initial gross wages and other short-term economic benefits. This IPA study moves away from the standard measurements with participants given the opportunity to articulate their own individual definitions of success and performance in order to develop a complete understanding of the topic. The study shows the primary benefits from culinary school are learning new skills and techniques and gaining a better perspective of the industry with internships/externships playing a key role in their development. Participants felt their culinary school experience prepared them to enter the workforce though there were observed differences in the mindset of employees who attended culinary school and those who had not. The data expresses the participants' judgement that they would recommend culinary school to others with qualifications but that, overall, their culinary education was "worth it." The data also further brought to light the influence of an emotional connection to food and the concept of a passion or career calling.
