Tips for Competition

“DECA is a lot of fun and I really learn a lot; I got hooked my first year!”
Liz Eastham
Campbell County High School

“DECA participation looks good on a résumé and it offers a lot of scholarship opportunities.”
Jeremy Gross
Campbell County High School

“Honestly, our students join to go on trips and meet new people. Some tell me, “My friends say DECA is cool.” I also mention to them that some local businesses will hire DECA students above other students and sometimes pay them more than other students – that’s an incentive!”
Mary Hopper
Kelly Walsh Chapter Advisor

“DECA not only prepares you for a career in business, but it also offers a lot of travel opportunities – Salt Lake City, Orlando & Nashville – what other high school program can do that?”
Allen Hankins
Campbell County High School

 

Welcome to Wyoming DECA!

DECA members participate in competitive events, attend workshops, meet students from across the state, travel to international competition and have fun! See “Why Join DECA?” for a student’s perspective on reasons to join this dynamic organization for Wyoming high school students.

Competitive Events

DECA’s Competitive Events Program includes more than 30 occupational areas. Students win recognition, trophies, and scholarships while competing at the local, state and international levels. DECA gives students the challenge of bettering themselves and testing their skills.

 

The purpose of DECA's competitive events are:
1. to contribute to the development of skills necessary for careers in marketing, merchandising, management and entrepreneurship
2. to evaluate student achievement of the skills through careful measurement devices (performances indicators)
3. to provide opportunities for student and team recognition
4. to provide constructive avenues for individual or team expression, initiative and creativity
5. to motivate students to assume responsibility for self-improvement and self-discipline
6. to provide a vehicle for students to demonstrate (via performance indicators) their acquired skills through individual or team activities
7. to assist students in acquiring a realistic self-concept through individual or team activities
8. to help students participate in an environment of cooperation and competition
9. to provide visibility for the educational goals and objectives of marketing education.

Business Participation

State business leaders participate in Wyoming DECA by acting as judges in competitions and presenting workshops or panel discussions during Wyoming DECA’s fall Marketing and Entrepreneurship Conference.
