Course 03: Career Pathways, AI Implementation, and Client Service
Grade 10 free public self-study course specification
Plain promise: Explore a pathway carefully, define a real client need, use technology and AI with human judgment, and deliver a tested solution without overpromising. Parent doctrine: College of Humanization Format: Original noncredit curriculum prototype Recommended guided time: 36 hours, plus supervised project practice Version: 0.1, October 9, 2026 Status: Internal draft; qualified review and actual-context controls required
Boundary
This course does not award high-school credit, a diploma, graduation status, occupational hours, licensure, certification, accredited credit, job placement, or guaranteed employment, income, admission, funding, or client results. It does not authorize regulated service. A school, employer, regulator, credential issuer, or other authorized body makes its own decisions. Examples may be simulated and must use minimum or synthetic data.
Outcomes
Learners will:
- choose pathway criteria based on interests, constraints, human need, and evidence;
- distinguish user, client, stakeholder, payer, employer, and authority;
- verify occupational information from appropriate current sources and label uncertainty;
- define scope, deliverables, exclusions, acceptance tests, and change rules;
- compare manual, digital, automated, and AI-assisted workflows;
- disclose assistance and protect data, authorship, and human decision-making;
- build a minimum useful service or workflow artifact;
- test accuracy, usability, accessibility, privacy/security, safety, and failure recovery;
- communicate updates, manage change requests, and complete a handoff;
- explain cost, time, value, limits, and fair exchange;
- defend the work independently and respond to an unfamiliar client problem; and
- deliver a client-service capstone with a truthful next-step plan.
Twelve-unit sequence
Unit 1 — Know: Pathway Decision Criteria
Question: What kind of work or service fits my interests, values, constraints, and current evidence? Learn: Separate interest, skill, value, opportunity, requirement, and assumption. Practice: Compare fictional pathways with a common decision table. Prove: Create pathway criteria and a baseline evidence inventory. Use: Select one pathway for exploration, not commitment.

Practice: Redline a risky workflow and unsupported marketing statement. Prove: Submit a protection and claim review. Use: Explain a boundary to a fictional client. Advance: Set owner and review date for each changing claim. Gate: Stop when authority, consent, safety, privacy, or authorship is unclear.
Unit 10 — Value: Pricing, Time, Cost, and Reciprocal Benefit
Question: Who benefits, what does it cost, and is the exchange fair? Learn: Time, labor, materials, overhead, risk, price, revenue, compensation, net value, and alternatives. Practice: Repair a proposal that hides effort or guarantees results. Prove: Create a dated value map with assumptions and unknowns. Use: Compare paid, volunteer, and internal-service models. Advance: Select a no-spend next experiment. Gate: No quote, contract, purchase, or income promise.
Unit 11 — Explain: Implementation Brief and Demonstration

Use: Collect structured feedback and correct or hold. Advance: Complete 30/90/365-day pathway steps with authority, evidence, support, cost, risk, and alternate route. Gate: Private simulation unless exact-context approval and supervision exist.
Evidence and completion
Each unit produces an artifact or observed performance. Use the universal 0–4 task-level scale; never score human worth. A high total cannot erase false claims, missing authority/consent, unsafe work, unnecessary data, inaccessible assessment, undisclosed assistance, or absent human accountability. Safe completion wording remains: “The learner completed the noncredit DTU course and demonstrated the listed tasks at the documented support level.”

Feedback, differentiation, and escalation
Name the observable task, rule/evidence, learner explanation, one correction, retry, support level, and transfer step. Offer plain language, examples, translation during learning, assistive technology, breaks, and offline modes. Do not score human worth. Pause and escalate for unsafe work, missing authority/consent, protected data, inaccessible required evidence, harassment/discrimination, false claims, undisclosed assistance, or uncorrectable tool failure.
Assessment and closeout
Use the universal task-level 0–4 scale: not yet shown; direct help; limited help; independently here; transfers and helps. Record context, date, support, evidence, explanation, correction, and next step. A high total cannot compensate for a noncompensable gate failure. Confirm artifacts are labeled internal/noncredit, no public or external action occurred, and the next step is verified or held.
