Helping others and learning about real-world problems (and how to solve those problems) are the reasons that three seniors joined the Biz Club.
“The Biz Club is all about helping students develop real-world business skills through hands-on experiences,” Jaiden Jordan said. “We primarily focus on entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, and management, preparing students for future careers in business. Members participate in competitions, work on business projects, and develop leadership skills.”
This club is about entrepreneurship, marketing, finance and management trying to prepare students for future careers that they are interested in. This club is mostly for students that like to develop real-world skills in business and hand on experiences
“Currently, we have a number of active members who are passionate about business, marketing, and entrepreneurship,” Jordan said. “However, not all of them will be attending the state competition this year due to financial constraints or prior commitments. Megan, Avry, and I will be attending this year with Mrs. Radiel.”
There’s only three people in this group competing for FBLA which stands for the Future Business Leaders of America. All of them like to learn about entrepreneurship and marketing. Only two out of the three were attending state due to personal reasons.
“This year, we are competing in FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). Last year, we participated in DECA competitions,” Jordan said. “For FBLA, all competitors automatically qualify for the state competition, and from there, the top performers move on to nationals. Whether we advance depends on our performance and if we decide to make the trip.”
Competing for both competitions is fun and awesome because if you are the top performers you go on to nationals. Both of the competitions are based on business events that can compete in designs, speaking and journalism.
“Both DECA and FBLA offer more than just business-related events. While many of our members focus on business, these organizations also provide opportunities in other areas,” Jordan said. “Students can compete in graphic design, public speaking, digital video production, hospitality and tourism, computer science, journalism, healthcare administration, and even coding and app development.”
All three of the girls went to state but only two of them advanced to nationals. One of them did human resource management and the other two did hospitality and event management.
“Megan placed seventh for Human resource management and both me and Megan placed fourth for Hospitality and Event Management, which qualifies us for nationals,” Jordan said.
