Marketing Education students develop first-hand
knowledge of merchandise management and the opportunities available in
their chosen career. Students are instructed how to operate a forklift
truck. The marketing student is also taught the operation of a cash
register, programming and data entry on the computer, and how to own and
operate a successful business. Students belong to a student organization
called DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America). This is a
vocational student organization designed to enhance a specific career
objective in marketing, management or distribution. DECA activities are
designed to give students the opportunity to participate in many
activities designed to teach them to be leaders and followers. Members
develop poise and social graces as well as becoming aware of the social
environment through DECA social events. |
