This report comprises two papers: "Can a Machine Develop a Career? A Statement About the Processes of Exploration and Commitment in Career Development," and "The Information System for Vocational Decisions: Description, Subsequent Development, and Implications." The first paper specifies an imitation career as a means of career development and defines processes of exploration and commitment in career development. The paper concludes that machines can only help an individual understand his career development; they cannot actually develop an individual's career. The second paper describes a computer-based Information System for Vocational Decisions, including planned expansion of both use and capabilities of the system. Educational, personal, and theoretical changes required to sustain the system are included and the potential future usefulness of the system in the expanding demands of vocational guidance is defined.
