About BEcamp
BEcamp is an education startup on a mission to help young people find their path and prepare for a rapidly-changing world of work.
Today’s college and high school students are extremely curious about business and entrepreneurship. 30% of Gen Z considered starting a business last year. Most of these young people will go on to work in the business world in some capacity after graduation, but few learn anything useful about business while in school.
Meanwhile, young people are facing a historically unforgiving labor market. Many traditional entry-level jobs in sectors like tech, finance, and consulting are on the chopping block because of AI, and students need to upskill earlier than ever to earn a spot and add value in the modern workplace. In that sense, core business skills are both timely and timeless.
BEcamp partners with colleges and high schools to help students explore career pathways in the business world, impress in job applications & interviews, and accelerate their career trajectories. We offer engaging in-person workshops and are piloting several online learning experiences to further scale our impact. Please get in touch with our team if you’d like to explore bringing BEcamp to your school community!
