Nebraska Career and Technical Education Conference 2026

Competitive Events are more than competitions—they are powerful instructional tools that help students develop career-ready skills while enhancing classroom learning. In this session, advisers and business educators will explore practical strategies for embedding FBLA Competitive Events into curriculum, projects, assessments, and daily instruction. Participants will discover ways to align events with course standards, increase student engagement, and create meaningful pathways for leadership and career development.

Whether you are new to FBLA or looking to strengthen your chapter's competitive success, this workshop will provide ready-to-use resources, best practices, and innovative approaches to help students connect classroom learning with real-world application. Learn how to transform Competitive Events from an extracurricular activity into an integral part of your program—because where future leaders begin is in the classroom.
