Abstract

A key resource in emerging regions is the intrinsic knowledge potential of its youth. For the potential of this resource to be fully realised, we believe that there should be a systemically designed national career pathways development system (NCPDS). An NCPDS can help channel each young person into a career best suited to that individual, whilst giving consideration to career choice and national needs. This paper discusses an NCPDS founded on knowledge-based decision support systems and evolving recommender system frameworks, able to handle large volumes of data and provide analytics. We discuss an initial prototype designed and implemented in New Zealand.
