With the 2024-2025 academic year underway, students are busy in Rubin Emerge learning in-demand employability skills.

At the end of each unit (ex: Email Etiquette — Beginner), students take a post-test. Once students pass the post-test, they earn an Emerge digital badge. So far, students have garnered 1,200+ digital badges for email writing, job outreach strategies, networking, resumes and more.

Here’s a snapshot:

• Email Etiquette — Beginner: 383 badges
• Email Etiquette — Advanced: 172 badges
• Job Outreach: 106 badges
• Networking: 86 badges
• Resume Writing: 78 badges
• Cover Letter Writing: 52 badges

Each badge features a QR code that brings the person to this page on the Rubin site. The pages explains the skills students gained to earn the digital badge.

The badges are ideal for a resume, portfolio, LinkedIn profile and anywhere else students can showcase skills learned.
