Raiders shine at DECA

Chippewa High Skills Major Students
News Release

**********************

Business students at Chippewa Secondary School attended the DECA business case study competition at the Downtown Sheraton Hotel and Meeting Centre in Toronto over the weekend. Twelve students were brought to compete against over 4,000 other business students from across the Province.

DECA is a case study competition where students are given a business scenario and must present their opinions, thoughts and suggestions regarding the scenario to a judge who presently works in a specific industry. (E.g. Automotive Marketing)

Today's businesses require teamwork, consensus building, decision-making, interpersonal skills, and goal orientation. While business organizations value cooperative effort, they also demand independent thinking. DECA seeks to transform students into team workers who recognize that their own success depends on the success of others.

By giving students hands-on experiences in the fields of marketing, business and entrepreneurship, DECA enhances the classroom experience by providing conferences and competitions that mold high school students into character-driven leaders.

Great work Raiders.
