Abstract	The central question of this research pertained to the degree to which Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) enrollees, NYC personnel, and potential employers shared a common frame of reference, and held similar views regarding the transactions involved in entering the world of work. This was studied by an examination of the work related perceptions of NYC enrollees, their work experience supervisors, and employers. The negotiating process itself during employment interviews was studied. Data on this bargaining session were gathered to include five major components. Results of the study presented a picture of youth frightened by the prospects of entering the world of work. They viewed the world of work as extremely demanding, and saw themselves as essentially unprepared for these demands. Employers and supervisors took the position that, although young people are unprepared, little preparation is needed. The NYC enrollees believed preparation is needed. (Authors/LY)
