Abstract
An early cohort of New Deal clients (18-24 year olds) was interviewed on three separate occasions, before, during and after their experience on the New Deal Welfare to Work programme. The objective success of their participation in the programme in terms of job - and employability outcomes was evaluated against their backgrounds, views and subjective experience of the programme. The backgrounds, experience and achievements of this group are further contrasted with that of a separate group of 'disengaged' young people who had refused to go on the programme.
