College and career readiness for high school
Let’s teach employability skills, together.
Before high school students walk off the graduation stage, they must understand:
- How to send a professional business email
- How to speak on the phone
- How to hold meaningful face-to-face conversations
Why? Employers and college admissions teams need young people to arrive with strong communication on skill (ex: email etiquette and phone etiquette).
Rubin makes it happen through an innovative mix of activities based on work-based learning scenarios. Students love the material because it’s tangible and relevant to their lives.
Drew Coffin works on his “storytelling” cover letter (a clear example of his work ethic) inside the Rubin Emerge online curriculum. As a high school senior in Haxtun, Colorado, Drew used the cover letter in his application to Colorado School of Mines, a top-tier engineering school. Drew was accepted and is now on campus studying robotics.
