About BEcamp
BEcamp is an education startup on a mission to better prepare young people for work and life.
Most high school and college students are curious about business, and about 30% of Gen Z considered starting a business this year. But most young people don’t learn anything about business or entrepreneurship in school.
BEcamp offers bootcamp-style education programs that help young people learn the basics of business and entrepreneurship, explore career pathways, and build critical lifelong skills. Our programs are designed to be fun, accessible, and experiential.
We have lots of exciting programming lined up for 2025 — and we are just getting started. Stay tuned!
BEcamp For Schools
Schools are focused on (1) real-world, project-based learning and (2) career exploration more than ever before. BEcamp is here to support those aspirations.
BEcamp partners with innovative high schools, colleges, and youth-serving organizations to provide a comprehensive introductory business & entrepreneurship curriculum (~20-25 hours), along with third-party instruction delivered by BEcamp instructors with extensive business experience.
Our integrated BEcamp For Schools curriculum features:
Interactive “Business 101” sessions in Core Business Concepts, Business Strategy, Product, Sales & Marketing, Finance & Legal, Soft Skills, and more
A Startup Project where students work in teams to develop a real, launchable startup
Personal reflection exercises that help students understand their strengths, interests, and purpose and how they map to different career opportunities
The BEcamp program can be delivered as either a for-credit course or a non-credit enrichment program, and has many flexible scheduling options.
BEcamp Direct
BEcamp also runs affordable direct-to-consumer education programs (“BEcamp Direct”) for high school and college-aged students. These programs take place outside of school settings, but leverage the same exciting curriculum used by leading high schools and colleges. BEcamp Direct programs will range in duration, from 1 week (intensive) to 10 weeks (~1 session per week).
