Roles in these events could be content area expert, client, customer, employee, supervisor, manager or entrepreneur.

Collegiate DECA’s Team Case Study Events effectively measure the student’s proficiency in the knowledge and skills identified by business and industry professionals as essential to success in a given career. The team of two students is given a description of a specific situation that measures skills, knowledge and attitudes in a given career. Roles in these events could be content area expert, client, customer, employee, supervisor, manager or entrepreneur.
