About BestPrep

Mission
The mission of BestPrep, formerly known as the Business Economics Education Foundation (BEEF), is to provide all Minnesota students with business, career and financial literacy skills through experiences that inspire success in work and life. We are committed to the goal of bridging business and education resources to provide students with the best preparation for success in life and work.

BestPrep accepts the challenge:

• Two out of three students between the ages of 16 and 22 admit they should know more about money management
• Less than 50% of college students understand how the stock market operates.
• 32% of college students are currently in debt to credit card companies
• 52% of University of Minnesota freshmen are undecided about their major

BestPrep delivers results:

• One million work-ready, career-bound students have been prepared for the workforce through their participation in BestPrep programs.
• Annually, 1,000 volunteers from leading Minnesota companies serve as speakers and role models addressing financial responsibility, technology and career development.
• 260,000 students have become financially literate through hands-on activities – in some cases participation resulted in a more than 60% improvement on financial literacy test scores.
• BestPrep links students with eMentors and business professionals for career development, guidance, mentorship, etc.
