Marketing introduces students to careers in wholesale, retail, and services industries, the fastest growing occupational area in the United States. Marketing, through classroom instruction and supervised on-the-job training, enables students to develop competencies for entry into full-time employment and into advanced educational or training programs. The goal of the marketing program is to prepare students for careers in the marketing of goods and services; buying, transporting and storing goods; promoting goods and services; and marketing research and management.
