College and career readiness for middle school
Before students reach high school, they need a strong background in basic employability lessons like email etiquette as well as how to apply for jobs and interact with employers.
The Rubin “Emerge” employability online skills curriculum is the perfect way to provide students with the beginning of a work-based learning education.
Carly Owens used Rubin lessons to land a job as a public relations (PR) specialist at Experian, the consumer credit reporting company. Today, Carly oversees the effectiveness of the company’s PR across all of North America. How can Rubin help you level up in your career?
