Career Maturity amongst first year University students

"Education, training and innovation are central to South Africa's long term development. They are core elements in eliminating poverty and reducing inequality, and the foundations of an equal society. Education empowers people to define their identity, take control of their lives, raise healthy families, take part confidently in developing a just society, and play an effective role in the politics and governance of their communities" (National Development Plan, Nov 2011, p261).
