This paper presents some results of the project entitled “Improve your emotional skills” (I-YES), promoted in the framework of Erasmus+ program in a partnership of organizations from 6 European countries. The project concept started from the very poor vocational education and training student’s performance in manufacturing. One of the main objectives of the I-YES project is to reduce school failure by increasing student’s academic performance. In order to achieve the I-YES project objective, this paper sought to identify their main emotional and social skill needs and deficits. The research employed both quantitative and qualitative instruments, namely questionnaires and focus-groups. The research found the main predictors, the socio-emotional skills with the strongest impact that proved to be perseverance, self-control and self-esteem. Other variables also proved to be essential predictors of school related behaviors and perceptions: perception of the school atmosphere, perception of parental support and perception of teacher attitudes.
