The study explored why learners with visual impairment in selected secondary schools of Zambia were more braille inclined in accessing career guidance information than through ICT. Key among the objectives that guided the study was to identify why learners with visual impairment were more braille inclined in accessing career guidance than through ICT. UTAUT theory guided this study. A case study design was used in presenting and discussing the findings. Population was all pupils with visual impairment and their teachers in selected secondary schools in Zambia, while the sample size was fifty-two (52) segmented as fourty (40) pupils, four (4) head teachers, four (4) career guidance teachers and four (4) grade teachers. The study found that due to inadequate or non-availability of ICT facilities, learners with visual impairment did not access career information through ICT. In addition, inadequate ICT trained teachers and ICT unclear policy contributed to learners being more braille inclined than ICT. Instead, learners accessed career information through braille and word of mouth only. For these reasons learners did not participate in ICT practical lessons and examinations consequently, restricted in their career choices. The study therefore, recommended that the Ministry of General Education should supply ICT facilities, train teachers in ICT, formulate clear policy on ICT for learners with visual impairment and ECZ should introduce practical examination in ICT.

The success of modern transport enterprises depends largely on availability of highly qualified employees, motivated for effective work. The formation of a competent team of employees is impossible without involvement of new young personnel who make an informed choice in favor of working in transport field. The most important tool for this is organization of career guidance in secondary schools, which allows schoolchildren to make a right choice for their future, and permits enterprises to get a well-informed and involved employee.There are many known methods of conducting career guidance work, however, taking into account the peculiarities of development of new generations of schoolchildren, it is necessary to offer innovative programs and change approaches to implementation of existing ones.The article discusses the experience of joint career guidance activities of branches of JSC Russian Railways and educational organizations in Zabaikalsky region.

The study examines career guidance services provided by school counsellors in secondary schools in Kano state. The study used 387 sample respondents drawn through purposive sampling from randomly selected schools.  Questionnaire instrument with satisfactory psychometric properties was employed in data collection process. The results show that school counsellors assist students to identify their strength, abilities and learning style, help students to make appropriate career pathway selection, set educational and career goals, search for information about careers and work choices.  However, school counsellors underperform in helping students to make future educational planning, college selection and placement. Moreover, no significant difference was found among gender excepts in educational Planning, college selection and placement with female students having better educational planning, college selection and placement. It is concluded that the school counsellors play greatly in the area of career decision making, goal setting and personal awareness. However, it is recommended that school counsellors should improve services involving future educational planning, college selection and placement.
