What's happening: Ramsey High School students recently traveled to MetLife Stadium to attend Sports Business Day, hosted by the New York Jets.
🏈 DECA members and Marketing students toured the stadium and engaged with representatives from various departments within the Jets organization. They shared insights about their roles in the Jets organizations, career paths, and educational backgrounds, and offered valuable advice on how to succeed in the business world.
🏈 The trip proved to be an eye-opening experience for the students, revealing the thrilling nature of professional sports, beyond the boundaries of the field. The trip underscored the fierce competition existing not only between athletes on the field but also among teams, organizations, and stakeholders off the turf.
What they’re saying: "Sports industry leaders emphasized the critical role of internships, and networking in launching successful careers. Students gained first hand exposure to diverse roles within professional sports, from data analytics to brand partnerships and sales.
They also learned how today's sports business landscape values both digital expertise, strong interpersonal skills and the ability to differentiate oneself from the competition. Leaders also highlighted the importance of being mindful of what students share on social media, as businesses often review profiles during the hiring process." -Mrs. Incardona, Business Education Teacher & DECA Advisor
