Georgia Career Information System (GCIS)

The Georgia Career Information System (GCIS) is considered the primary tool used by Georgia students to gather career-related information. GCIS provides students with information about more than 500 occupations, a life-long career planning portfolio, a national school sort option, financial aid information, and much, much more including a database of activities for classroom instruction. (You will need a username and password.)  GCIS is also used as the primary resource for career management in the Teacher as Advisor Program (TAP).  See the Teacher as Advisor Program for details. Tips:
  • Print and attach labels to every computer in the school indicating the GCIS URL address, User ID, and password.
  • Marketing this program to parents is important. Provide evening workshops for parents. GCIS representatives can assist you in this process. For example, parents of 8th graders would enjoy the opportunity to visit the high school while at the same time participate in a GCIS training session, and parents of 11th graders would benefit from a workshop on GCIS regarding financial aid and scholarships. GCIS offers students and parents a file for specific Georgia scholarships. See the Teacher as Advisor Program (TAP) for a workshop entitled, "Financial Aid 101."
