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.
