To identify career options, students need accurate information about the world of work. One of the most comprehensive delivery systems of occupational and educational information is a computer-based career information system. Yet, little research has been published to evaluate the effectiveness of these systems in assisting students to identify career goals. This study concentrated on exploring the effectiveness of Occ-U-Sort, a self-report inventory in the EUREKA Career Information System. A quantitative study was conducted to determine if career identification was enhanced by the use of Occ-U-Sort with tenth grade students in a high school in Southern California. The specific questions addressed in this research: (1) In what ways does the exposure to a career information system inventory assist students to identify career goals. (2) Is there a relationship between the set of occupations that the participant identified and the set of occupations provided by the computer intervention. Tenth grade students at a comprehensive high school were divided into four groups. Each group took the GAINS II Pretest/Posttest for Measuring Career Development Competency Progress for Grades 8-11. One group took the Pretest/Posttest. One group listened to a lecture on career options in the future. One group listened to the lecture, and took the Occ-U-Sort Inventory. One group served as a control group and took the Occ-U-Sort Inventory immediately after the Pretest. All groups took the posttest at the conclusion of the intervention. The groups who took the Occ-U-Sort inventory were asked to identify five occupations in advance that they wished to explore. The majority of the students had no matches between their preselected occupations and those remaining on their Occ-U-Sort lists. The resulting scores from the Pretest/Posttest of each student were paired for each group and statistically analyzed. The researcher found that there was not a significant difference between the groups who were exposed to a computerized career planning inventory and those who were not.
