GRAND RAPIDS – Davenport University will host the Michigan Business Professionals of America Middle Level Conference next February offering middle school students the opportunity to apply computer skills, teamwork, research and presentation, while competing at business-related events.
BPA competitions place emphasis on computer skills, teamwork, research, and presentation. Students may compete at both the state and national levels.
“We are very excited to be hosting the first annual Michigan BPA Middle Level Leadership Conference,” said Ron Draayer, Davenport University faculty member and BPA advisor. “BPA is the leading Career Technical Student Organization for students pursuing careers in business management, accounting, information technology and other related career fields. It is a great opportunity to be able to expose younger students to BPA and spark their interest in these fields.”
