Abstract	The Federal Vocational Baccalaureate (FVB) constitutes the major link between the academic and vocational track in Swiss educational system by combining a vocational apprenticeship with general education. Regarding the effects of economic competencies on these transitions, there is a substantial lack within the current state of research. The objective of this study thus is to elucidate these effects. The used data are based on a representative sample of N = 1.051 FVB-students of the German-speaking part of Switzerland. It can be shown that economic competencies are a meaningful predictor when it comes to the transition from upper secondary to tertiary level and help to answer the question why students with hybrid qualification choose an academic or non-academic track after school.
