    Title: The impact of mentoring in vocational education on long-term outcomes: evidence from a randomized experiment.

    Abstract: This paper studies the long-run effects of a randomized experiment with intensive mentoring aimed at reducing school dropout rates among students aged 16-20. The program offered comprehensive education support services and personal support during one or two years and generated promising short-term results. We investigated the long-run impact of the program by merging the experimental data with administrative data until 12 years after the start of the program. We find that the program increased educational attainment and reduced the probability of committing any crime. The effects of intensive mentoring are different for students with a high or low ex-ante dropout probability. The program is most beneficial for students with a high ex-ante dropout probability.
