EXTEND YOUR LEARNING BEYOND CAMPUS
Many associations offer leadership development conferences and events at the regional and association levels. These regionally-based conferences provide a perfect opportunity for you to develop your leadership skills, and in some cases qualify to attend Collegiate DECA’s International Career Development Conference.
ENGAGE is an exciting professional development experience. Through networking opportunities, career development seminars, and eduTours with DECA partner companies and businesses, ENGAGE attendees will leave the conference feeling confident and ready to conquer their career goals, whatever they may be!
The International Career Development Conference allows 1,000 members to demonstrate their knowledge and skills by participating in Collegiate DECA’s Competitive Events Program in hopes of being named an international champion. Network and engage with business executives through a full day of professional development.
