School-based Enterprises

Thank you to the 212 school-based enterprises that submitted manuals for our 2013 certification review.

School-based enterprises are effective educational tools in helping to prepare students for the transition from school to work or college. For many students, they provide the first work experience; for others, they provide an opportunity to build management, supervision and leadership skills. While some in the education community have only recently discovered the value of school-based enterprises, marketing educators and DECA advisors have used them as a powerful teaching tool for more than four decades.

Generous support for the School-based Enterprises program is provided by Otis Spunkmeyer Inc.
