Badin DECABadin is celebrating 40 years of DECA Where you can go to have fun, have a positive effect on your community and learn all at the same time. Where you can go to learn about marketing, starting your own business, getting involved in e-commerce and the ins and outs of international business. Where you can tap into $250,000 of awards and scholarships from major U.S. corporations. Where you can get those leadership skills that will give you a head start toward a real career. Where you can enter your class projects into a competition that could lead you not only to applause but to self-confidence and usable skill. You can travel to conferences designed for sharp, ambitious teens like yourself. You can learn how to associate with businesspeople and network your way into the future.
For 55 years DECA, the association of marketing students, has been leading talented young people just like you toward real careers and lifetime skills. These days, DECA is more than keeping pace. Our Competitive Events Program amplifies what you learn in the classroom and even includes the Virtual Business Challenge - a business management simulation and the 7 UP Challenge Web design event. Are you interested in sports and entertainment marketing, in the travel or hospitality business, in fashion, in a retail career, in advertising, or in the restaurant trade? Activities and skills in these and any other marketing specialty are available to you in DECA. And along the way you'll make friendships that will last forever. What DECA Stands For In 1969, the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) organized around an ambitious goal: to improve educational and career opportunities in marketing, management and entrepreneurship for students. In the years since, DECA has remained on the cutting edge of educational innovation, working with the business community to integrate academic achievement with career and technical skills. Over time, the needs of our membership have changed, and we have changed to meet them. Yet the fundamental reasons we formed remain at out core: First, effective marketing education gives young people the tools and aptitudes they need to pursue their dreams. Second, marketing education works best when it's part of an integrated education program linking classroom instructions with internship experience for careers success. With 180,000 student members and faculty advisors, we function as the companion student organization to over 5,000 marketing education programs in secondary and post secondary schools across the U.S., its territories and Canada. Our once-revolutionary ideas have become models for effective educational alternatives. DECA remains committed to the advocacy of marketing education and the growth of business and education partnerships. Badin became the first school in Ohio to have a state sponsored Career Education Program.
