Stress and labor market transition. The case of training programs in companies

The main purpose of this research was the study of stress levels in university people who follow training programs in companies (N=589) through the different levels in those variables associated with transition to the labor market. Work experience programs are for most university students a critical transition event, since the end of educational process to the beginning of adulthood/active life, where stress could be tied with the level of success and forecast/prognosis of unemployment. Data show that, generally, work experience programs could be protecting against stress for people who follow them.
