A second national Career Cluster initiative has been used in the devel-opment
of curriculum in the Business and Information Technology
Education Standard Course of Study. The Business, Management, and
Administration Career Cluster Project was a partnership involving
states, schools, educators, employers, industry groups, and other stake-holders
that created curiculum guidelines, academic and technical
standards, assessments, and professional develoment materials for
career concentrations in Business, Management, and Administration.
North Carolina was one of the initial state sites involved in this effort.
The National Business Education Association developed the second
edition of the National Standards for Business Education (2001) to
ensure that students and adults are afforded equal access to fundamental
business knowledge and skills and, therefore, an equal opportunity to
success in life. The standards, first published in 1995, represent the
leading edge of business and career education. The National Standards
for Business Education are based on a comprehensive curriculum model
that integrates 11 content areas: accounting, business law, career devel-opment,
communication, computation, economics and personal finance,
entrepreneurship, information technology, international business,
management, and marketing.
Most businesses focus on skills acquired through course work and
work-based learning experiences when deciding if prospective employ-ees
can perform in their workplace. Building a portfolio as students
progress through the Business and Information Technology Education
courses is one way to show the skills they can use effectively.
Students desiring a universally recognized credential that is informa-tion-
technology related should enroll in courses that lead them to
credentials such as Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3),
Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS), A+ Certification, Net+, Certified
Novell Administrator (CNA), Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer
(MCSE), or Certified Cisco Network Administrator (CCNA). These
high school credentials can be enhanced at postsecondary levels or may
be used immediately in the workplace.
Data input and manipulation skills are essential to success in all busi-ness
occupations. These skills are essential if students are to interact
with technology in the most effective manner.
Each course in Business Technologies requires the use of technology.
For students to succeed in these courses, they must have keying skills
and basic computer skills that allow them to perform at acceptable
levels.
