Business Education The overall purpose of education for business careers is to provide individuals with skills and abilities to meet local, state, and national needs for business and office workers. It is for all students who want, need, and can profit from this instruction. Realistic consideration is given to the needs and opportunities of the employment market.
The curriculum is a sequence of educational experiences related to occupational objectives which have been formulated through an analysis of behavioral requirements (duties, skills, abilities, and attitudes) of business careers. The instructional sequence is a balance of business principles from which the student learns about the environment he or she will face in business; occupational specialization to acquire skills necessary to succeed in a business career; realistic “in-school” and “in-business” experiences with necessary supervision, direction and coordination; and coordinated youth group activities based upon the student’s career objective. All are an integral part of the curriculum.
