Abstract

In this poster we introduce our work in progress examining the relationship between ICTD and Nigerian users' career aspirations. We propose that an Internet information resource can inuence a person's aspirations both through its informational content and through other psychological processes. We summarize work performed to date, particularly interviews and a focus group conducted at two urban universities in January, 2017. Although analysis of the data has just begun, we can identify preliminary trends in the qualitative data that point the way to how we might augment our approach in future phases.
