Students nationwide spent 1.3 million minutes in Rubin’s Emerge curriculum for employability skills during the 23-24 academic year. As a comparison, students logged 375,000 minutes in the 22-23 academic year.

Students in places like Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Fairfax County and more gained critical workplace readiness skills that employers and colleges want to see.

Why the 4X increase in logged minutes?

Our team works hard to bring on new school partners. Beyond that, we pore over the details to deliver our Moodle-based learning management system to school districts. We insist on single sign-on access when possible to eliminate the need for students to sign in with a traditional password or manually create an account.

The ease of use allows students to visit Emerge with one click from their school’s LMS and engage right away with Emerge readings, videos, assignments and assessments for critical topics like email/phone etiquette, conversation skills, interview prep and more.

Digging into the 1.3 million minutes, here are the most popular assignments students accessed:

• Texting vs Emailing: 16,447 submissions
• How to Compose a Subject Line: 12,877 submissions
• How to Prepare Smart Interview Questions: 5,676 submissions
• How to Set Your Own Voicemail: 3,996 submissions
• How to Email an Instructor About a Poor Grade: 2,770 submissions

“We focus every day on the student and teacher experience in Emerge,” said Rubin founder Danny Rubin. “When we see logged minutes jump into the millions, it says that we make it easy for customers to use our product — and to want to keep coming back for more. We continue to work in summer 2024 at the user experience because the journey and task is never done.”
