Economic evaluation of health care delivery is a global necessity. The U.S spends 17% of its GDP annually towards health care compared with 8-9% by Australia and the United Kingdom.

In the article by Gadd and Phipps (2012), they refer to the challenges faced by psychological and, specifically, neuropsychological assessment. Their study focused on a preliminary standardisation of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (a non-verbal measure) for Setswana-speaking university students. The US normative sample is described as participants (N = 899) aged 18 to 29 years who were screened beforehand to exclude individuals with a history of neurological, learning, emotional and attention difficulties

The literature review will investigate the evolution of college and career readiness in K-12 education and empirically accepted theories of career construction and social cognitive career from the field of vocational psychology related to career development. The literature review will build a case that K-12 educational
