Business Leadership is a two-year program that focuses on personal and professional leadership development with a concentration in business.  Students will explore principles and practices of business and entrepreneurship while developing leadership skills, professional work habits, communication, and human relations skills. Community-based and work-based learning are cornerstones of this program.

 

BUSINESS IS THE ESSENCE OF ALL CAREERS.  This program is relevant for all career-minded students.  Skills gained in Business Leadership are not limited to traditional business fields but are transferable to all careers.

Employability is a center-wide focus.  We focus on eight major areas of skill development demanded in the workplace: Communication, Leadership, Attitude, Work Readiness, Self Direction, Problem Solving, Teamwork, and Grit.  All students work toward proficiency in these areas and receive feedback from peers, the teacher, other members of the staff, and even Advisory Board members throughout their time at CHCC.  

 

Students also hone their skills in a specific Business Career Pathway that they are interested in through DECA Curriculum. DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. Students may choose to further their skill development by participating in DECA conferences and competitions at the State and National levels.  These events provide them with opportunities to earn awards, certifications, recognition, and even scholarship money while building confidence, leadership, and lasting relationships.
