Abstract
The labor market in Saudi Arabia has changed dramatically over the past twenty years, with rapid
increases in women’s employment in the private sector. We investigate the role of mentoring in helping
female high school students navigate this new economic reality. We use a random- priority invitation
design to estimate the effects of an after-school formal mentoring program for female high school
students in Riyadh. The program provides training and mentoring aimed at supporting students in
completing high school and making informed post-graduation plans. The study investigates the impact
of the program on the educational and career aspirations of participants.
