    Alexandria (VA) CTE Students Watch 1,000+ Aspire Videos, Spend 43 Minutes Per Session

    Middle and high school students in Alexandria City Public Schools (Northern Virginia) love Rubin Aspire career exploration videos.

    How do we know?

    In just two months, the students have watched 1,000+ Aspire career exploration video clips for jobs that include athletic trainer, surgical assistant, lab technician and many more.

    What’s more, the average time per session is 43 minutes. That’s right — students in the year 2025 stuck with an online educational product for the better part of an hour.

    “For our teachers and students, Aspire fills a gap,” said Sarah Black, CTE and work-based learning specialist in Alexandria. “Students want to see what jobs are out there in the world, and Aspire gives them the opportunity.”

    At Rubin, we believe in the power of partnership. We are thrilled that Aspire videos, delivered in Alexandria through the Canvas LMS, allow its CTE program to achieve twin goals of high-quality instruction and career readiness.

    VACTEA 2025: Seeing Friends, Deepening CTE Relationships

    We had the best time on Wednesday, October 15 seeing old friends and making new ones at VACTEA, the annual gathering of CTE directors from across Virginia.

    At the conference in Harrisonburg, we mingled with administrators who provide Rubin in their classrooms (like Prince William County and Alexandria, pictured) and shared our information with potential new customers.

    We are also proud to sponsor (for the second year in a row) a trivia night competition!
