About

Overview

Since 1969, WCTC’s award-winning and nationally recognized Collegiate DECA chapter has been offering students the chance to grow as business professionals while building relationships with peers from around the globe. This student-led organization engages students from various programs, focusing on career clusters such as Accounting, Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Human Resources, and Marketing.

DECA’s purpose is to prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. The DECA experience starts in the classroom where students learn business concepts in preparation for college and careers. A powerful instructional component, DECA brings the classroom to life by empowering the teacher-advisor to make learning relevant with educational programs that integrate into classroom instruction, apply learning, connect to business and promote competition. The successful integration of each of these four interconnected components, also part of DECA’s guiding principles, results in a strong program that produces college- and career-ready students.
