Introduction:
Counseling is a form of education, which the students
receive from their counselors. Palmer 2007 states that counseling is an educational
process used in solving problems of the learner. Research findings from Chin-Chun
2001 and Phrema 2006 have reported significant positive impact of ICT on counseling.
It has generated high levels of enthusiasm and commitment during the counseling
process as well as increased reasoning ability of learners, increased attention
and concentration Green and Yello 2002,and Chin-Chun 2001. Anyamene, Nwokolo
and Anyachebelu 2010 noted that the array of information provided through counseling
would help tremendously in production of professionally competent graduates.
ICT introduction at the university system is a big boost to education at that
level. Integration of ICT in service delivery would be an effective method of
reaching the young people. However, the way that young people access and use
ICT gives a strong indication that online multimedia information, online information
with a personalized element and links to reputable sources of information are
all priorities for services though with differentiation built in to reflect
age and stage. Provision of efficient methods for fast and rapid communication,
through the use of chat rooms, email and social networking, was also strongly
indicated. It is also interesting to note that whilst indicating a strong demand
for ICT based services, the majority of research participants specified a strong
demand for face-to-face interaction, alongside ICT provision. According to Bimrose,
Barnes & Hughes 2008 , the type of careers guidance that adult clients found
effective over a five year period had specific outcomes , such as increased
selfconfidence, motivation and self-efficacy, as well as providing a safe-space
to explore options and aspirations.
