I would like to make a plausible business club idea for my school but I can’t think of any. We have FBLA, which i am in, but to be frank we honestly don’t do that much. What kind of business clubs do you guys have at your school, and what kinds of stuff do you do?
DECA?
I think I have heard of it, but I don’t really know what it is 
. Can you please explain?
It has something to do with like marketing and running buisnneses (school store, my school’s DECA did a safeway takeover, etc.) And there’s a competition and stuff. I’m not in it though, so I asked my friend to give me a better explanation of what it is:
He said, "DECA’s a program for kids who want to be successful, basically. The specific target areas are kids who are interested in any shape or fashion in having a career in:
-Business
-marketing
-finance
-Entrepreneurship (owning your own business)
-economics
-government
And we do have a fashion design event as well.
DECA’s a class that you take as an elective in most places, and you do actually learn about concepts in economics, business, and marketing. The class helps prepare you for competitions, of which there are district, state, and international levels. Most competitions involve doing a ‘role play’ in front of a judge and a written test, but there are some events that require a report, presentation, and a written test.The role play’s subject is based on which of the 60+ competitive events areas you’re competing in. There will be a problem presented to you, which you are asked to resolve. For example, in my role play at ICDC (Nationals/Internationals) this year, I was supposed to have just been hired at the front desk of an upscale downtown hotel in a major business center. There was a recurring problem where guests would show up early and couldn’t check in, and would be stuck being miserable in the lobby for a few hours while they waited for check-in time. I was supposed to come up with solutions to this problem and present them to my manager (the judge)
DECA sponsors a number of trips besides the competitions as well. Next year, DECA’s having conferences in Austin, Orlando, and Los Angeles, among others. And ICDC is gonna be in Nashville!
By the way, I was in the HLM (hotel and lodging management) event, which required a test for district, test and role play for state, and test and two role plays for ICDC.
Watch this! It’s the promo video from the school year we just got done with, featuring footage from ICDC 2014 in Atlanta!"
So yea, that’s what my friend said when I asked him to explain DECA. I will say that he said its an elective class at his school, I’m pretty sure the one at my school is both a series of electives and a club, so I think you could start out as a club then expand. Definitly try to find a teacher thats Good luck!
He also says to say that “DECA is the bestest thing ever” lol
