Dr. Phil Gardner, a professor at Michigan State University and an expert in the employment of recent college graduates, cautions that many students lack a story that connects their studies to the needs of employers. The DigHT program is designed to provide students with tangible examples of how their classroom learning transfers to success in the workplace.

The technology and critical thinking skills fostered in the DigHT courses are desirable to those seeking work in almost any field. Past students have successfully combined DigHT coursework with their major degree’s requirements to set their résumés apart from other prospective employees.
