Business & Marketing jobs are in demand! This would be great information to share with students, parents and administration. I find this very interesting the millions of jobs in Business & Marketing far outweigh all other sectors combined. Business, Retail Trade, Hospitality, and Finance are in the top six when the number of jobs in these industries are considered. 3. LEAD4CHANGE Student Leadership Program FREE resources available! Opportunity for schools to win up to $10,000 for community service project. A great opportunity to use these resources for FBLA or DECA Chapters! LEAD4CHANGE TRANSFORMS TEENS INTO SERVICE LEADERS Lead4Change Student Leadership Program provides Advisers with a free, turn-key program that aligns with standards such as social emotional learning, 21st century skills, CTE, etc. Our Evidence Based Research shows how the program instills self-confidence, leadership, teamwork and more. Students learn leadership skills then execute a service project that benefits the community. They become more engaged and walk away from the program gaining important lifelong skills. Chapters could win up to $10,000 for their community service project by entering the Lead4Change Challenge. And, Lead4Change projects may also be submitted for CTSO’s competitive events. Lead4Change puts leadership in the hands of students, with the teacher serving as the coach, helping them reach their full potential.
