How are DECA’s competitions structured?

DECA's competitions are designed to encompass a diverse range of events that showcase various skills and knowledge related to business. This includes both individual and team events, allowing participants to engage in collaborative problem-solving as well as adequately demonstrating their personal competencies.

By incorporating both formats, DECA provides a comprehensive platform for students to explore different aspects of business education. Participants can prepare for events that test their abilities in marketing, finance, hospitality, and entrepreneurship, ensuring a rich learning experience and a broader assessment of skills.

The other options do not reflect the full scope of DECA's competitive structure. For instance, focusing solely on individual events would limit the collaborative experience that DECA aims to provide. Similarly, emphasizing just oral presentations or written exams does not capture the full range of competencies being evaluated in these competitions, which also include case studies, role-plays, and other interactive components. This multi-dimensional approach makes DECA competitions a robust and effective method for students to demonstrate their business acumen.
