满帆 a history of success at DECA's Collegiate Competitions. The team has consistently placed in a number of categories since its inception in 2014, 和 in 2016 满帆's team won an international DECA competition in the 体育 和 Entertainment Marketing category. 今年, 满帆's six-person team received first, 第二个, 第三, 和 fourth place awards at DECA's virtual Collegiate State Competition in career clusters like Sales Management Marketing, 体育 和 Entertainment Marketing, Human Resource Management, 和更多的.

DECA is a nonprofit that prepares the next generation of leaders 和 entrepreneurs to excel in fields like marketing 和 management. Their annual competitive collegiate events pit business-oriented students against each other to measure their proficiency in their chosen field.

满帆's DECA competitors usually participate in the Case Study 事件. 学生 receive a realistic business problem to analyze, take 30 minutes to find a solution, then present their idea to DECA judges. The emphasis on real-world skills in 满帆's business school makes the DECA team especially effective.

"Our business classes are very presentation-heavy," says Jackie Otero, 满帆's 音乐行业 和 Entertainment 业务 项目负责人. "They're used to having to pitch ideas 和 answer questions… Our students are really skilled in problem-solving."

今年's virtual competition looked a little different than a typical DECA event: 学生 met with judges in individual video conference rooms to present their case study solutions. But according to DECA judge 和 Entertainment 业务 Course Director Neal Ferrari, the same qualities separated DECA winners from the pack.

"The ones that st和 out are the ones that take it seriously. They've got their re搜索, 和 they just present well. And that's the key, I think."

满帆's entire DECA team has now qualified for the 国际 Competition, which will be held virtually in April.
