Where Students Grow into Leaders
Business Professionals of America gives students across the country the opportunity to develop skills, take on leadership roles, and compete as they prepare for careers in today’s business world. As the premier Career and Technical Student Organization for students in business, information technology, finance, office administration, and related fields, BPA bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world experience.
As a student, you’re looking for experiences that matter. BPA offers more than competitions — it’s a space to build leadership, learn professional skills, and connect with a national network of like-minded peers.
Develop skills in public speaking, teamwork, and project management
Participate in real service learning and community impact
Explore career pathways and earn recognition for your work
Get support through scholarships, workshops, and mentorship
BPA creates pathways for students to lead at every level. From local chapter officer roles to national programs, students develop critical leadership skills and gain meaningful experiences. The highest student leadership opportunity is serving on the Executive Council, where members help shape the direction of BPA at the national level.
You can still be part of BPA. If your school or state doesn’t have a chapter, you can join the National Virtual Chapter to enjoy the same programs, recognition, and opportunities as other members.
