What are “Principles” events typically aimed at?

The "Principles" events in DECA are specifically designed for high school students who are new to DECA. These events focus on foundational concepts in various career fields and allow participants to apply basic business principles in a competitive format. By assigning these events to new members, DECA ensures that students can gain valuable experience in understanding the organization's mission, developing their skills, and preparing for future competitions as they progress through the program. This approach fosters a supportive environment where beginner students can build confidence and competence in their business and marketing knowledge. Other options, such as targeting high school students preparing for college or college students with advanced knowledge, do not align with the purpose of the "Principles" events, which is geared specifically towards newcomers in the DECA organization.
