What is BEEEP-20 ?
The BEEEP-20 Initiative (Bharat Education, Employment and Enterprise Pathway 20) provides a visionary, structured framework to link education with career pathways, supporting India’s youth in developing the skills and resources needed to thrive in both traditional employment and entrepreneurial ventures. We look forward to collaborating closely with the Educational Institutions and Universities to drive this initiative forward for the collective benefit of our youth and industries.
BEEEP-20 Initiative, offers to a School Student a Pathway to get vocational education leading to either full employment by the age of 20; or, it could be career choices – either in Further or Higher Education or even through entrepreneurship. The Pathway is being discussed to be aligned with National Council of Vocational Education and Training’s Unique Student Database as, with that Government of India’s policy support in sponsorship of educational attainment of the student, could be planned in a smooth manner as it ensures enhancement of educational, employment and entrepreneurship development opportunities.
