Role-plays. Performance Indicators.

A Little Humor. All in One.

⭐️ DECA has partnered with BusinessU to create a new Role-Play Prep Series!

🎥 “ DECA at the Bell” is an interactive, video-based series. Each video features two hosts who take something going on in the world of business and relate it back to performance indicators.

💼 Think SNL Weekend Update meets case studies and current events in the business world. They're funny, short, and feature a diverse group of hosts who are passionate about engaging with other students who also care about the world of business. You may even see some familiar faces (🥸 #executiveofficers) in some episodes each semester.

🤝 At the end of each episode, the hosts give students a role-play prompt aligned to the performance indicators they can practice in class.

Access all episodes here. Episodes will be released every other week!
