DECA PARTNERSHIP

The U.S. Army has partnered with DECA for nearly 20 years. This partnership is driven by a shared commitment to engage and inspire dedicated youth to reach their potential and ensure the broadest number of young people have opportunities to build skills, gain education and learn to be leaders. The Army believes collaborating with education is one of the keys to building a successful future for our nation’s students and offers more than 40 education programs and key partnerships, including the free, online test prep program, March2Success.

Army ROTC has an annual presence at the International Career Development Conference, hosting an exhibit booth, participating as mentors and competitive event judges, offering remarks on leadership and awarding DECA students with tens of thousands in college scholarships. Army ROTC also supports the Emerging Leader Summit, where Army Soldiers help DECA students to develop their leadership skills and abilities.
