The North Central Kansas Technical College – Information Technology (IT) Program and the Digital Marketing Program returned home from competing at the State Leadership Conference for Business Professionals of America held in Wichita on February 22-24, 2018.
Business Professionals of America helps prepare students for careers in business, computer, and office occupations. Technical Colleges and Community Colleges participate in the post-secondary organization.
The programs brought home 12 first places, 5 second places, 3 third places, and several Top 10 Finishes. The individual placing can be found here: 2018 BPA Results.
