Building a Green Tech Community
Digipreneurship University develops curriculum to effectively create socially-conscious entrepreneurs that motivate, inspire, and educate a new generation of thought leaders and small business owners. To accomplish our goal we create 21st century education programs and innovative platforms to leverage digital media for education technology advancement.
For the past decade we have donated over one thousand hours in community service, providing training workshops to over 100 staff and volunteers of various companies throughout the U.S. Technology firms like Vaskro International (New York City), Transtech International (Ghana, Africa), and the Blacksonville Community Network (Florida) have leveraged the Digipreneur Curriculum to train area executives from both the private and public sector in effective use of new media, an entrepreneurial mindset, and broadband adoption. These strategic partnerships were critical to measure the success of our training methods and now social entrepreneurs worldwide strive to combine Digipreneur best practices to develop new talent and guide community engagement to meet the increasing demands for access to urban broadband and careers in new digital media.
Our partner effort is focused on delivery of economically-viable programs in education, media and technology to under-served communities. We carry out this social responsibility to help spur local economic growth with an intense train-the-trainer, peer-to-peer, “green tech” certification program to prepare digital connectors for higher wage employment. We believe the vitality of local community anchor institutions and small businesses is critical to a thriving community and sustaining healthy business relationship.
Recently, we have customized “after school” programs to adopt STEM curricula that focus on training and employment of teen entrepreneurs for new job preparation. We are confident our fast track training and vocational program will equip students and educators with the vital skill sets to become digital ambassadors and responsible digital citizens of their communities.
