Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) club members used their professional skills to compete in a variety of competitions at the Nebraska State Leadership Conference in Kearney March 28-30, 2018. Students competed in everything from Cyber Security to Business Presentation events.
Phi Beta Lambda is an organization dedicated to inspiring and developing the next generation of leaders by preparing members for careers in IT-Management, software development, business, and business-related fields. Business educators say learning how to become a leader is best learned through action and PBL activities do just that. Through organizing community service events, fundraising, and competing in events, students learn ways to flourish in the professional world. This helps focus on communication, teamwork, and networking skills which will give these members a competitive edge in their specific job field.
Most of the Northeast Community College students who competed will be attending the National Leadership Conference late June in Baltimore, Maryland.
