Because you pay in your service to humanity: your studies will require you to contribute your time and learning to nonprofit, NGO, and/or social entrepreneurship ventures. This not only helps the world, it is what builds your portfolio, and it pays for your education!!!
Because you pay in your service to humanity: Each week you must contribute at least 10 hours of work. This work is what pays most of the tuition cost, but it also benefits you, because it is building your competencies and ultimately building your portfolio that demonstrates to employers that you are competent.

=== Business Administration Diploma ===
The Business Administration Diploma trajectory prepares you for entry-level work in a business including marketing, sales, accounting, regulation compliance, and management/leadership.  We follow the [https://www.mbaresearch.org/local-educators/teaching-resources/standards/ MBA Research and Curriculum Center standards] as well the O*NET competency requirements, to ensure that when you graduate you have the qualifications for a job in your home market or offshored in a more developed economy.  And of most importance, this learning stack has AI built into its DNA, not only for learning better, but for using it in your job, as most large employers now want AI competent employees. But at the same time, want quality work, not "AI Slop".
 
==== Competencies ====
You  will develop sufficient competencies to be prepared for entry-level business administration careers in the following topics:
 
* Business Law
* Communication Skills
* Customer Relations
* Economics
* Emotional Intelligence
* Entrepreneurship
* Financial Analysis
* Human Resources Management
* Information Management
* Marketing
* Operations
* Professional Development
* Strategic Management
 
In addition students will reach sufficient level in the SchoolONE California  private school required competencies.
 
==== Developing Your Competencies ====
The following learning activities will be used to develop each of these competencies:
 
# Participate in individualized competency cubes that are "taught" by a GPTeacher.
# Participate in simulated work activities in each of these topics
# Do real projects for social venture(s) to build a portfolio of work to prove your capabilities to employers
 
=== Software Developer Diploma ===
The Software Developer Diploma trajectory prepares students for entry-level work as a software developer such as full stack programmer.  We follow California's [https://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/ct/sf/documents/infocomtech.pdf#page=22 Software and Systems Development] high school model curriculum standards as well the O*NET competency requirements, to ensure that graduates have the qualifications for a job in their home market or offshored in a more developed economy.  And of most importance, this learning stack has AI built into its DNA, not only for learning better, but for using it as part of your coding, where most employers now expect their programmers to use vibe coding tools to be more productive.  But at the same time, want quality code, not "AI Slop".
 
==== Competencies ====
You  will develop sufficient competencies to be prepared for entry-level software development careers in the following topics:
 
* Software Development Processes (waterfall & agile)<sup>C1.0</sup>
* Determining Software Requirements (waterfall & agile)<sup>C2.0</sup>
* Technology Stacks<sup>C7.0</sup>

=== Educator Diploma ===
* Introduction taught within self-contained learning cubes through GPTeachers
The Educator Diploma trajectory prepares students for work as an educator. We follow EducateONE's Educator Education standards, to prepare students for facilitating next generation learning. This learning stack embraces AI, but only for where it is appropriate, and how to reduce generative AI's current issues with producing misinformation (so called "hallucinations").

=== Introductory Learning-Cubes ===
You will develop sufficient competencies to be prepared to do educational work for a next generation education provider, such as EducateONE, other forward-thinking school, or ed tech company in the following topics:


* Aim of Education
The introductory learning cubes are taught by AI GPTeachers.  These are specialized AI to teach a specific topic.  They provide you with the one-on-one teaching that only the wealthy previously could afford. By going through these learning cubes, you will gain the foundational competency you will need for your next phase of learning.

=== Intermediate Simulators ===
The following learning activities will be used to develop each of these competencies:
After you have learned sufficiently the competencies necessary for successful employment, you will go through employment simulators to demonstrate these competencies in a low-risk environment, so you can make mistakes gracefully and learn from them quickly.

The DigiTools Diploma learning stack provides an enhanced effect for the effort, where all of the following are gained:

  • Free commercial software access to a wide variety of quality products
  • High quality secondary education leading to a California private school high school diploma
  • Real work experience documented in a digital portfolio that demonstrates to employers your value

And we are able to offer this for tuition that is the cost of a Netflix™ subscription...

But how can we provide high quality that would normally cost thousands of dollars at this extremely low price point????

Because you pay in your service to humanity: Each week you must contribute at least 10 hours of work. This work is what pays most of the tuition cost, but it also benefits you, because it is building your competencies and ultimately building your portfolio that demonstrates to employers that you are competent.

Further, at first this work is your studies itself! Yes, by doing the schoolwork you would be doing anyway, you are paying for much of the tuition, because we are taking the work you do to improve our AI models! So again, this is a win-win!

Diploma Trajectories

The DigiTools for Developing Economies has 3 choices for the diploma that you may pursue:

The Learning Stack

There are three phases to learning for each trajectory:

  • Introduction taught within self-contained learning cubes through GPTeachers
  • Intermediate competency development taught through simulations learning cubes
  • Mastery at an entry-level demonstrated through capstone internships that supports social good

Introductory Learning-Cubes

The introductory learning cubes are taught by AI GPTeachers. These are specialized AI to teach a specific topic. They provide you with the one-on-one teaching that only the wealthy previously could afford. By going through these learning cubes, you will gain the foundational competency you will need for your next phase of learning.

Intermediate Simulators

After you have learned sufficiently the competencies necessary for successful employment, you will go through employment simulators to demonstrate these competencies in a low-risk environment, so you can make mistakes gracefully and learn from them quickly.

Capstone Internships

After building your initial competencies with the GPTeachers and testing them out in a simulated environment, it is time to do the work for real. This is how you demonstrate that you really are ready for an entry-level position, and what sets our program apart from other schools. Employers will be assured that you will be able to do what they need. And further, your work will directly contribute to the good of the world. And this is how you really pay for all the investment that we have put into your studies, for our extremely low tuition.
