For charter schools

Your students master the trade. We teach them to market it.

We give charter school students the media production, marketing and AI skills that turn a trade certificate into a business that customers can find.

We partner with one charter school in each market.

A trade skill nobody can find doesn't pay

Charter schools are preparing students for skilled trades: plumbing, culinary arts, cosmetology, construction. The gap is what happens after graduation.

  • A licensed plumber who can't be found online loses jobs to louder competitors.
  • A talented cosmetologist without a portfolio builds a client list twice as slowly.
  • A culinary graduate who can't shoot their own content depends entirely on word of mouth.

What your students learn

While they learn their trade, we teach them to run their own marketing. Every class is hands-on and ends with work they can show.

  • Digital Media Marketing

    Content calendars, paid campaigns and analytics. Students learn to turn social platforms into a steady flow of customers for a local service business.

  • Filmmaking

    From the first shoot to the final cut, students make commercial and documentary-style videos of real work, and finish with a reel that markets their trade.

  • AI for Business

    Students use AI to write proposals, make ad creative, research their market and automate the busywork that slows a small business down.

    See the syllabus

  • Broadcasting

    On-camera presence, voiceover and studio basics, so students can speak for their own business in a video, an ad or an interview.

  • Creative Animation

    Motion graphics and animation for ads, explainers and branded content that competitors would have to pay someone else to make.
