East Haven High School’s Transition Academy integrates Digitability’s Bankability platform into the daily classroom routine to build students’ financial literacy and independent living skills. Students actively engage in real-world banking tasks such as earning money, setting daily budgets, completing deposit slips, and paying simulated bills. The program is used consistently each morning, allowing students to practice financial decision-making in a structured and repetitive routine. Students also participate in monthly bank statement reviews to strengthen their understanding of tracking income and expenses. Through these hands-on experiences, Bankability helps students build confidence, independence, and practical money management skills for life beyond the classroom.
About the Digitability Work Simulation Program
Digitability believes that skills are best learned through real-world experience and application. That’s why Digitability created the Work Simulation Program: a complete curriculum that teaches work-ready skills in a hands-on way you won’t find anywhere else.
After choosing their classroom’s Work Simulation project, students are “hired” for jobs and begin practicing workplace behavior, managing tasks, using tech skills for independence, self-advocating, self-regulating and more.
Digitability Work Simulations include Bankability, a virtual banking and workplace behavior program where students earn virtual dollars when they exhibit behaviors that will make them successful in the workplace and increase their independence. Using those dollars earned, students experience a modern banking app while learning the fundamentals of budgeting concepts such as earning, spending, and saving.
