(2022) CAREER GUIDANCE AND COUNSELING PORTAL FOR SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTShttps://keffi.nsuk.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14448/5584This paper developed a web based Career Guidance and Counselling (CGC) portal to mitigate the problems of traditional counselor-client interaction process, which is a paper-based procedure that has a lot of flaws. These flaws include: poor record management, delay in accessing student’s record and unavailability of central database to manage records electronically. Interviews and observations were used to collect data from both students and the school counselors. The portal enables students to take career guidance independently at their own convenience. It can also enable the students test themselves on some selected questions in the form of a quiz. The system is designed following a sound engineering principle i.e., from requirements gathering, software requirement specification, design and implementation, testing to deployment. Data flow diagrams and use case scenarios are used to demonstrate the functionality of the web portal. Using Hypertext Preprocessor Pages (PHP) programming language, a proof of concept was developed to illustrate the features and functionality of the portal. The outcome is a robust web Portal suitable for Guidance and Counselling that is user friendly.en(ABS) Career, Paper-based System, PHP, Counsellor, Interface Ledger, Career Guidance, Career CounsellingArticle
