The Development and Implementation of Career Information and Guidance Systems to Enhance Recruitment and Retention of ROTC Cadets for Army Careers

Abstract

The Career Information Survey (CIS) was developed with two existing instruments, the Career Development Inventory (CDI) and the Values Scales (VS), and administered to a group of 64 college-bound high school males. Students with positive, neutral, and negative attitudes about the Army ROTC program were compared on the CDI and VS scales and on four variables measured by the CIS: knowledge and importance of knowledge about the Army ROTC program, desirability of occupations within military and nonmilitary settings; and preferences for alternative military career paths. The results indicate that knowledge about Army ROTC and, most specifically, knowledge about career prospects is strongly related to having a positive attitude about the Army ROTC program. (CP)
