Are you READY FOR IT? Are you ready for college? Deciding what major to pursue, working on group projects and delivering presentations to your professors and peers? Are you ready for your career? Knowing what career paths interest you the most, going on interviews and networking with business professionals? Are you ready for the rest of your life? Juggling assignments, leading teams and making tough decisions every day that impact those around you? Thanks to DECA, you’re READY FOR IT. You’re ready to pursue the major you know you’ll enjoy because you’ve already experienced industries like marketing, finance, business administration and hospitality. You’re ready to get your dream job because after a DECA role-play, a job interview is a walk in the park. You’re ready to lead a team to success because you’ve already been a chapter or association leader. You’re ready to take on any challenges life throws your way because you were a DECA member. If you want to prepare yourself for a future filled with opportunities and achievements, then you’re ready to join DECA. So, the question is, are you READY FOR IT?

Becoming an Army officer allows you to empower and inspire strength in others. When you lead Soldiers, you gain the strength to lead in life. What’s the best way to get there? Army ROTC. Available at more than 1,100 colleges nationwide, it gives you unmatched personal development while offering great benefits like advanced career training, opportunities for scholarships and the chance to be commissioned as an officer upon the completion of ROTC courses. Many of today’s public and private sector leaders in management, business, science, engineering, technology and other fields got their start with Army ROTC.
Discover how Army ROTC can give you a strong foundation for proven success in life.
