Abstract

The proposed paper presents a Smart Career Advisor system that operates on machine learning methods to deliver recommendations on careers to individual students. The system combines two ML models, including XGBoost and CNN. XGBoost models that make use of label encoding are as high as

95.29 accuracy and the CNN model which involves both scaling and label encoding attain a high accuracy of 98.77. Besides the prediction models, the system has a Gemini AI-enhanced chatbot, which is capable of communicating with the users to answer essential questions on career roadmaps, skills needed, and job suitability. Students are also able to seek further specific guidance by posing more questions. The innovative system will support the problem of students choosing appropriate career options by offering customized recommendations based on the data. The project would be a revolution in the career counseling process, where machine learning is combined with conversational AI.

Keywords: Smart Career Advisor, Machine Learning, XGBoost, Convolutional Neural Networks, Career Recommendation, Chatbot, Gemini AI, Personalized Career Guidance, Career Counseling.
