Middle Level Program

Florida Business Professionals of America, Inc. is one of five states that participated in a 2004/2005 Pilot Program for the Middle Level Division of BPA! It was a successful venture for the middle school members and Florida continues to encourage middle school students to participate. Members from around the state, as well as members from Delaware, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, participate in this cutting-edge program.

Middle Level members have the opportunity to network with members from around the nation, develop leadership skills, and compete in business events. Events will be conducted at the regional, state, and national levels. Events available include: Business Math—Open Event, Spreadsheet Applications, Keyboarding Production, Business Communication Skills—Open Event, Web Site Development Team, Computer Literacy—Open Event, Career Research Project Team, Prepared Speaking, Extemporaneous Speech, Graphic Design Promotion, and Business Fundamentals—Open Event.
