Before we get to the specifics, how about a small teaser trailer?
who are we?
We are the largest youth business organization in Canada with 11,000+ members across Canada. Globally there are 215,000+ members worldwide and 3,500 participating high schools. Recognized by almost every university in the world, DECA is something you would want to immerse yourself in if business is where you're headed for in the future.
what is our goal?
We at DECA pride ourselves with the the task of preparing emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.
how are we getting there?
We have students apply the knowledge they have in the field of business and apply it to real life situations. This is done by having a competition in which students are presented with a case that is to be solved in a team or individually. There is also a written test that students will have to take to test their knowledge in their specific field.
what does deca mean?
Well, nothing. While DECA used to be an acronym for something, that name has long since been lost.
