Career Voyage

Career Voyage is a comprehensive career guidance tool used by accredited career practitioners. The program leads clients through a systematic decision making process. It broadens horizons by looking at the whole range of occupations. Sometimes the jobs suggested confirm a client's existing ideas and provide backup by listing similar jobs. For other clients, the program often suggests jobs not heard of or not previously considered.

Career Voyage takes clients through a four stage process:

1. Section Choice

Clients choose the appropriate level of education and training by selecting one of five levels. These levels range from minimum education and training to university graduate level. The language used, items presented and jobs suggested have been thoroughly researched to suit each level.

2. Occupational Interest Guide

An interactive questionnaire asks clients about their occupational interests as they relate to the world of work. An occupational interest profile is produced for each client with clear, specific and supportive graphical and text information. The practitioner can enter the Adviser screen and check the client's results for problems needing attention. The Adviser report outlines any particular concerns and suggests appropriate courses of action. Printable interest profile reports for both client and adviser are available.

3. Job Suggestions

The client moves on to a second interactive questionnaire involving a further eighty job factors (including working conditions, health, talents, working hours, etc). Completion of this section leads to twenty job suggestions for all clients, based on what they have said about themselves. Each job suggestion has key information about that job.

4. Research and Action Planning

Using software features such as "Pros and Cons" of each job,” Similar Jobs", "Other Jobs" (i.e. those not originally listed as suggestions), the client can interrogate the jobs database and develop realistic career plans. Access to ‘Ozjac’ and ‘myfuture’ are also available for more comprehensive job-specific information and education and training requirements. 

Career voyage is a computer based program that profiles your interests by asking you questions about what you like and dislike, and what working environment you could see yourself working in. It then lists 40 jobs that match your interest profile. The best part about career voyage is that it covers all types of jobs, allowing you to research the careers you are interested in, and helps you to plan what steps you need to take for you to get started on that career path.
