Abstract

The main objective of the study was to determine the extent to which admission of students into Cameroon opportunity industrialization centre (OIC) relates to Holland’s theory of vocational choice. The study used two specific objectives, two research questions and two hypotheses. The study which was carried out in OIC Buea, adopted the correlational research design. The population of the study was made up of 605 students and 30 instructors. Using the simple random sampling technique, 178 students were selected to constitute the sample. Furthermore, the purposive sampling technique was used to select five instructors for this purpose for the simple reason that they were members of the admission board of the school. A modified version of the Self-Directed Search (SDS) developed by Holland and an interview guide were used to collect data from the students and instructors respectively. The instruments were validated and their reliabilities assured. The quantitative data was analyse using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation, while the qualitative data was analysed using the thematic approach. The findings of the study revealed that there is no significant relationship between the chosen vocations of OIC students and Holland’s persons-environment congruency theory. The results further showed that there exists a relationship between the admission policy of OIC and Holland’s heuristic theory. It was recommended among other thigs that the authorities of OIC, especially those concerned with the admission of students should build a psychological test or borrow and adapt an existing test on career choice.
