The concept of second chance education (hereafter SCE) refers to the programs launched to combat the social exclusion of people (in particular young people) who have left school with a level of education below upper secondary. Training employment programs aimed at young people are the most widespread SCEs in Spain. The results of an evaluative investigation of one of those programs, based on the biographical method, are shared in this article. A comprehensive educational approach that includes its individualization, training content and the learnings achieved, methodological strategies, emotional ties and the educational environment are identified as determinants of success. Moreover, there is a noticeable positive impact of the young people’s participation on their personal lives and work opportunities.

Palabras clave : Unqualified young people; transition from school to work; vocational training; dropping out; success factors.
