CÚRSA (cao applicants)

The website, click on link below, aims to help potential students select a college course that they are most likely to enjoy and would give them the best chance of success.

Career guidance research shows that certain personality types flourish in particular careers. The prospector page of the website asks the user a series of simple questions about their likes and interests. The algorithm then applies Holland Codes (Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional) to match the users personality type to three, third level courses and career pathways that they best fit. The website also takes account of the users expected leaving certificate results, along with their preferred institute and county.
