What are your career interests? One of the best advantages of DECA’s competitive events is that they encourage you to explore your career interests. If you have a career interest that you are passionate about, find a competitive event that aligns with that passion, because you’ll likely be more motivated and interested in learning as much as you can about that career pathway. Do you have job experience? If you’ve had a part-time job, an internship or any work experience, think about how that may help you in DECA’s competitive events. For example, if you have worked in the retail career field, then a retail event may be a perfect fit for you, because you can use the knowledge and skills you learned on the job when solving your challenge in your role-play or case study. How can you match your personal strengths to the format of the competitive event? Are you a strong test taker? If so, you may want to consider a competitive event that has an exam component. Are you a strong presenter? How much time do you like to prepare? If you like to think quickly, then a role-play may be optimal for you. However, if you like time to map out your presentation, DECA’s written events would be your path. Do you work well with others? This is a big question when deciding if you are looking to tackle a team decision making event. Sign up for Region using the Google Form to the right, or visit tinyurl.com/NGHSDECARegion2021 |
