Preliminary Classification of Army and Navy Entry-Level Occupations by the Holland Coding System.
Abstract
A number of research efforts are developing recruiting-compatible vocational guidance (VG) systems. Efficient VG requires the classification of both occupational preferences and occupations according to a common scheme so that matching of applicant and occupational characteristics can be accomplished systematically. This is particularly important in VG systems for military enlisted recruiting because the job applicants tend to be career-naive and no professional guidance counseling is available. The objective of this effort was to classify entry-level Navy ratings and Army military occupational specialities (MOS) by the system most widely used for VG counseling, the Holland coding system. Under a 3-year interlaboratory agreement, NAVPERSRANDCEN pursued several research and development efforts in support of the Army's advanced computerized accessioning system, the Joint Optical Information Network (JOIN). This report details the classification of entry-level Army and Navy jobs by the Holland Coding System.
