Abstract: Rural youth often face significant challenges in identifying suitable career paths due to limited access to professional counseling, lack of awareness about emerging career opportunities, and insufficient exposure to skill-based education. This project proposes an AI-powered career guidance system designed specifically to support rural youths by providing personalized, data-driven career recommendations. The proposed system leverages Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to analyze students’ academic background, interests, skills, and socio-economic factors. Based on this analysis, the system recommends appropriate career options, required skills, learning pathways, and relevant government or private opportunities. A user-friendly web application enables students to interact with the system in their local context, ensuring accessibility and ease of use. By combining AI-based decision support with structured career data, the system aims to reduce career confusion, improve employability, and empower rural youths to make informed career decisions.
