Abstract
Many of the youth around the world are not certain of what career to pursue for one reason or
another. Unfortunately at the moment, several youth tend to pursue the “cool” courses without regard to their
capabilities, passions and interests. Uni-Search is an intelligent application meant to create awareness about
choosing the ideal route to a career or profession. Given ones’ capabilities or strengths, the application
establishes your personality then matches the possible career options proper to ones' capabilities. This is
achieved by crawling the web with efficient matching algorithms. With the results, a user is then at freedom to
select among the options given which one best defines what you want to do for a career. A user can then select
among the courses and read about what each one of them entails before narrowing down to one. Uni-Search
also provides information
on which Universities offer the chosen course and their location. This helps to a large
extent counter the issue of youth unawareness about what career path to undertake and what course to pursue.
