<h4>What is DECA?</h4>
<h6>DECA is the largest student business organization and competition in the world.
It has over 200,000 members, 3,500 high school chapters, and 275 collegiate chapters at an
international level, with over 11,000 students from Ontario participating in it.
Many people would describe it differently, but one thing's for sure: it's definitely worth it.</h6>
<br/>
<h5 id="quote-thing">DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing,
finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.</h5>
<br/>
<h4 id="feflwfwefbiufef">How does it work?</h4>
<h6>The competition is composed of three levels: Regionals, Provincials, and Internationals.
Iroquois Ridge High School is part of the Hamilton + Private region, which means we compete
at the Hamilton Convention Center in early November for the regionals component. The Private
just means private schools are participating. Last year, we had over 140 students in our
chapter for regionals, with over 60% making it to the provincial level. Out of those,
5 students made it to the international level, otherwise known as the International Career
Development Conference (ICDC), where they competed against students from the US, Europe,
Asia, and other places around the world who followed a similar process. This was held in
Nashville, Tennessee, with this school year's ICDC planned for Anaheim, California.</h6>
<img src="img/image1.jpg" width="100%" />
<h6>At each level, there are two components that contribute: the written exam and the
role-play case study. The written exam is a 100 question multiple choice test and every
student takes one based on their cluster - we'll go over that in a minute. The case study,
however, is different for every event, of which there are a lot to choose from. To find out
more about each event, please take a look at the <a href="events.php" style="color: black;">Events</a> page on this website
where there is a short description and a link for resources for each event where you can
look at past exams and case studies. The exams are also available to be taken online -
right on this website. Once you are registered, you can view a list of all the online
exams in <a href="exams.php" style="color: black;">Exams</a> and take them as many times as you wish.
The executives will also provide more information and tips during cluster meetings. Whether or not you
advance to the next level of competitions
depends on the total score of your written exam and case study, but this is often a form
of insurance - even if you do poorly on your case study, for example, a good written exam
mark (which people tend to do more poorly in) might be able to boost you up.</h6>
<h4>What is a Cluster?</h4>
<img src="img/clusters.png" align="left" width="40%"/>
<h6>A 'cluster' is how events are categorized within the competition. There are four main
clusters in DECA, which are Business Management and Administration, Finance, Hospitality and
Tourism, and Marketing. Every event relates closely to which cluster they are in, so they can
often help as guidelines for when you make your selection. <br/><br/>
Students participating in different events get completely different case studies, but all
students within the same cluster take the same written exam. For instance, although a student
in Apparel and Accessories Marketing may have a completely irrelevant case study when looked at
by a student in Automotive Services Marketing, they will have the same written exam since they
are both within the Marketing cluster. <br/> <br/>
Each cluster also has its own Principle event, which are events specifically for first-time
DECA participants, although it is not mandatory for them to select a Principle event to compete in.
However, Principle event students do not take their respective cluster written exams;
rather, there is a separate Business Administration Core exam that is taken by all Principle students.</h6>
<h4>How do Case Studies work?</h4>
<img src="img/case_studies.jpg" align="right" width="50%"/>
<h6>Every case study is basically a role-play interview; you are given a specific situation with
a role you have to undertake and a task to complete or questions to answer. Even within the same
event, case studies can be drastically different and so it is vital that time is spent preparing
and practicing for them. You are given the case study, some time to prepare your content, and then
comes the interview. The specific times depend on what type of event you're participating in. You
will sit across from the judge (who will also be role-playing as defined by the case study) from
where your presentation will be conducted. The judges are not allowed to communicate with you
during the presentation, but they will ask you some questions afterwards which you must answer.
<br/><br/>
Case studies are marked following a rubric made up of Performance Indicators (or PI's for short).
Each case study has a general performance indicators and specific performance indicators that are
given to you along with the case study. General performance indicators are similar to your
Communication marks for school assignments - attire, facial expressions, body language, etc.
Specific performance indicators are where the majority of your marks come from. These revolve
around the contents of your interview and it is extremely important to develop your presentation
around them and prepare some answers before the actual competition for specific PI's.</h6>
