Artifact Overview

The Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), established in 1946, encouraged students to explore the art of marketing (then called distributive education.) Local businesses employed interested students as part of the program -- students worked off-campus in the afternoons. The jobs provided students with personal and professional growth and the work experience needed for future employment.
