About BEcamp
BEcamp (“bee-camp”) is a business education startup that partners with liberal arts colleges and high schools to help non-business majors prepare for work and life.
Why Do We Exist?
So many young people are curious about the business world. 28% of Gen Z considered starting a business last year, and many liberal arts students aspire to work in “business” after graduation. Employers expect recent graduates to hit the ground running, despite having little-to-no prior business experience and few good ways of learning the basics. Students need to upskill better and earlier than ever before to compete for entry-level opportunities — or they risk being left on the sidelines.
At BEcamp, we envision a world where all non-business majors are able to access world-class supplemental business education and experiential learning opportunities before they enter the workforce — so they can become the next generation of strategic thinkers, managers, and innovators in all walks of life.
What Do We Offer?
BEcamp offers engaging, experiential in-person workshops in partnership with liberal arts colleges and high schools (we come to your campus!). Think of it as a fun and digestible “mini-MBA” with a career exploration tilt. The workshops are designed to help students:
Learn the basic principles of business
Explore career pathways
Compete for and excel in internships & jobs
We can accommodate 20-30 students per workshop and the workshops are generally delivered in a condensed 1-2 day format (including on weekends/breaks). In terms of the workshop content, you are able to build your own customized program by selecting from our 10 1-hour modules (with each featuring lecture + fun hands-on activities):
Core Concepts | Business Strategy & Consulting | Product | Marketing | Sales | Finance | Entrepreneurship | Communication | Teamwork | Career Journey
