The school-to-work transition presents several challenges for vocational training students in Quebec. While psychological well-being at work appears to be an important indicator of a successful transition from school to work, few studies have been conducted have been conducted on this topic with vocational training students. Emotional competence and educational success are closely related constructs that could contribute to psychological well-being after the end of students’ training. This two-phase study, conducted with 179 students, aimed to test the mediating role of educational success in the association between emotional competence and psychological well-being. Regression analyses support educational success as a mediator in this relationship. This study sheds light on the potential of interventions to strengthen students’ emotional competence.
