Business Professionals of America is a youth organization which provides leadership and business opportunities for middle school and high school students to prepare them for their future careers. The skills that students learn through participating in a variety of business experiences are beneficial and will help prepare students for a career in the workforce, coach Mindy Eggleston said.
