Abstract

SIGI PLUS, a computer-based career guidance system, was developed at the Educational Testing Service (ETS) as a guidance tool for counseling a varied audience, including adults and students. It is being used mainly on college campuses. SIGI PLUS is not ideally suited for counseling adults in companies. Therefore ETS is trying to integrate company-specific information into SIGI PLUS. A modified SIGI PLUS system will better serve the needs of adults in companies. The result is the prototype corporate system of SIGI PLUS. The new prototype system was field tested at ETS.
