A total of 30 students participated in the Southeastern Wisconsin DECA Career Development Conference held at Racine Case High School on Saturday, December 18, 2021.
At the conference students competed either as an individual or in a team event with a partner. They had to choose an occupation category to compete in that matched their career interests. Students then had to take a 100 question test on their content knowledge in that area. In addition, they each needed to perform two business role-plays with a judge to solve some type of problem in that industry.
Many students were recognized for success at the conference. Badger has a history of performing very well at this level, with the ultimate goal of qualifying for the Wisconsin State Career Development Conference in February. Badger students earned 28 medals overall. Here is a list of Badger students who earned medals in their events:
