Marketing Sales and Services

  • Marketing, the transfer of goods and services among businesses and consumers, affects the economy at every level. According to California occupational employment projections, retail trade will be the fastest-growing industry in the state. And the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that sales and related occupations will add two million new jobs nationwide , growing by 12.9 percent. As businesses in America evolve to compete successfully in the global marketplace, a growing need exists for employees with business expertise and the ability to analyze and respond to emerging trends. This sector is designed to prepare learners for careers in planning, managing, and performing marketing activities. Included are four career pathways: E-commerce, which provides instruction in using electronic tools to market products and services; Entrepreneurship, which develops skills and abilities to begin and operate a business independently or with other individuals; International Trade, which focuses on understanding the global business environment; and Professional Sales and Marketing, which builds knowledge of the sales process, sales management, and marketing information management.
