Di Tran University · College of Humanization · Grade 6
Explore careers without turning a person into a label, use technology critically, and connect school skills to meaningful work.
Learn with dignity. Build with proof. Advance with purpose.
This course turns learning into useful evidence through five repeatable moves: Learn → Practice → Prove → Use → Advance. Work at an appropriate pace, disclose meaningful help, correct mistakes, and explain the result in your own words.

Course 07 Grade 6 — Career Exploration and Humanized Technology
Version: 1.0 public self-study edition — October 11, 2026 Status: Free public, supervised, noncredit curriculum; not approved for enrollment, school credit, diploma, credential, licensure, placement, or funding claims.
Promise and boundary
I can explore careers without locking myself into an identity, use AI and technology critically, and connect school skills to meaningful work. Learners use fictional, public, or minimum-necessary information in supervised simulations. The course does not make career, admission, employment, financial, health, legal, or eligibility decisions and does not authorize live accounts, real-person profiling, public contact, regulated work, or protected records.
Humanization is the parent doctrine. Technology must serve people with dignity, agency, truth, safety, privacy/security, accessibility, authorship, and human accountability. AI is a tool, not an author, conscience, or decision-maker. Assistance is disclosed and important work includes independent explanation or a no-AI transfer task.
Portfolio and rhythm
The learner produces a strengths/values profile, career-cluster brief, source/uncertainty record, exploration plan, tool/assistance record, career-learning artifact, verification/no-AI transfer record, communication/feedback record, responsible-use map, money/tradeoff model, teach-back, and career-exploration portfolio. Each unit follows Learn → Practice → Prove → Use → Advance.
Twelve-unit sequence
Unit 1 — Interests, Strengths, Values, and Growth Areas
Learn: distinguish interest, strength, practiced skill, value, support, and growth area. Practice: sort fictional learner statements without ranking human worth. Prove: make a private-safe profile using only chosen, non-sensitive details. Use: explain one possible direction without turning it into an identity or promise. Advance: choose one low-risk skill to practice.
Unit 2 — Career Clusters and Community Needs
Learn: cluster, occupation, role, task, workplace, and human need. Practice: compare fictional/public roles and identify who benefits or is affected. Prove: create a career-cluster and human-needs brief with unknowns. Use: select one exploration question without contacting an organization. Advance: identify a responsible source to reopen.
Unit 3 — Labor Information, Sources, and Uncertainty
Learn: issuer, date, geography, measure, estimate, trend, limitation, and uncertainty. Practice: compare fictional/public occupational information and label source strength. Prove: record two sources, their scope, what they support, and what they do not. Use: correct a claim that sounds more certain than the evidence. Advance: write one confirm-or-correct question.
Unit 4 — Personal Exploration Plan
Learn: goal, question, step, support, checkpoint, risk, and alternate route. Practice: turn curiosity into a four-week no-spend plan. Prove: submit a plan with evidence, dates, support, privacy limit, and stop rule. Use: conduct a simulated review and revise one step. Advance: begin the smallest practice task.
Unit 5 — AI as Tool, Not Author, Conscience, or Decision-Maker
Learn: prompt, output, source, assistance, hallucination, bias, review, and accountability. Practice: compare a human-first workflow with an AI-assisted fictional workflow. Prove: complete an assistance and verification record using no private data. Use: explain what the tool may assist with and what a human must decide. Advance: choose a no-AI or offline route for the next evidence task.
Unit 6 — Build a Career-Learning Artifact
Learn: audience, need, artifact, instruction, quality test, and limitation. Practice: design a small public-information or fictional work-simulation artifact. Prove: create version one with sources, support disclosure, and intended use. Use: demonstrate it and receive correction. Advance: select one evidence-based revision.
Unit 7 — Verify AI Output and Complete a No-AI Transfer Task
Learn: verification, independent explanation, transfer, error, and correction. Practice: test sample output against sources and a rubric. Prove: record corrections and complete a related task without AI assistance. Use: explain why an attractive answer may still be wrong or unsafe. Advance: record the next verification step.
Unit 8 — Workplace Communication and Feedback
Learn: audience, clear request, update, feedback, boundary, handoff, and repair. Practice: role-play a question, progress update, correction, and respectful disagreement. Prove: create a communication and feedback record. Use: adapt the message to a school, service, or simulated workplace. Advance: name the next owner/date.
Unit 9 — Age Limits, Data Minimization, Bias, and Responsible Use
Learn: age/context rule, minimum data, permission, bias, accessibility, safety, and stop authority. Practice: classify scenarios as proceed, ask, pause, escalate, or stop. Prove: complete a responsible-use map with an accessible alternative. Use: explain one privacy or safety choice plainly. Advance: write a hold statement.
Unit 10 — Income, Taxes, Spending, Saving, and Tradeoffs
Learn: wage/income, hours, deduction, tax awareness, expense, saving, estimate, and tradeoff. Practice: compare fictional/public examples without private financial data. Prove: create a dated scenario budget with assumptions and unknowns. Use: distinguish education from financial advice and choose a no-spend practice. Advance: identify the authorized source for an unresolved term.
Unit 11 — Career Conversation and Teach-Back
Learn: evidence-backed question, source, limit, listening, and teach-back. Practice: rehearse a fictional career conversation without contacting a real person. Prove: ask and answer questions, then teach one verified idea in own words. Use: correct an exaggerated role or outcome claim. Advance: record one evidence gap and practice task.
Unit 12 — Career-Exploration Portfolio
Learn: portfolio selection, correction, transfer, support, and next-step verification. Practice: assemble evidence and defend one change in thinking. Prove: present a career-exploration portfolio with sources, assistance disclosure, limits, and no-AI transfer. Use: apply the method to a new low-risk pathway case. Advance: record a 30/90-day practice plan, owner, source, support, risk, and alternate route.
Completion rule
Completion requires twelve evidence items or approved accessible equivalents, facilitator review, correction, disclosed assistance, independent explanation/transfer, and all noncompensable gates. Safe wording: “The learner completed the noncredit DTU course and demonstrated the listed tasks at the documented support level.”

Use the task-level 0–4 scale: not yet shown; direct help; limited help; independently here; transfers and helps. Never score intelligence, dignity, character, accent, disability, family, immigration, trauma, or future potential. Offer oral, written, visual, demonstrated, translated, captioned, large-print, keyboard, extra-time, offline, and assistive-technology routes when they preserve the target. Require correction and retest.
Pause and escalate for unsafe work, missing authority/consent, protected data, inaccessible evidence without an alternative, discrimination/harassment, false claims, undisclosed material assistance, real-person profiling/decisions, live regulated activity, or unsafe tool failure.
Closeout
