PBEA is working hard to impact legislation. Watch this site as we bring you important information about the state of business education in Pennsylvania.

PLEASE ACT NOW

BCIT Instructors need to pull together to get PDE to recognize the standards that we use in our curriculum.

Legislation has been written for recognition of NBEA standards for BCIT officially and is currently in Education committee. Please call your representatives and ask them to support HB1712 (now House Bill 1415).
Go to www.legis.state.pa.us to get to the legislation and your representatives. `

 


Check out the 17th Annual Economic Survey at the Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce website. This survey contains information that can help you when designing curriculum and to assess the current needs of the workforce.
