Georgia Career Information
Center (GCIC) at Georgia State University provides Georgians
with a central and usable source of career information
based on comprehensive research and development. The
primary mission of the center is to provide current
and accurate career information to schools and agencies
throughout Georgia in order to help young people and
adults make informed occupational and educational choices.
The center, through its Georgia Career Information
System (GCIS), provides Georgians with easy access to
the most comprehensive, current, and accurate state
and national occupational and educational information
available in the state. GCIS contains self-assessment,
exploration, and search strategies as well as a vast
amount of occupational and educational information.
As the state career information system, GCIS is Georgia's
central source for current career information.
Each year, approximately 625,000 Georgians will access
GCIS at approximately 1,250 sites. GCIS is used in Georgia's
high schools, middle schools, colleges and universities,
technical colleges, Employment Service and Rehabilitation
Services offices, the welfare-to-work program, and incarcerated
youth development centers. |
