Rubin, the leader in online curriculum for employability skills, has partnered with Miami-Dade County Public Schools to provide high school students with lessons that focus on college and career readiness.
Miami-Dade, one of the largest school divisions in the country, has a robust internship program that sends thousands of high school students into the South Florida business community each spring.
In the 23-24 academic year, Rubin products proved themselves as supplemental curriculum for the internship program. During the classroom portion of the internship program, 3,000 Miami-Dade students spent more than 250,000 minutes in Rubin’s Emerge employability skills curriculum on topics like resume writing, email etiquette and job interview prep.
In the 25-26 academic year, Rubin has expanded further into Miami-Dade through career-based pathways like health science, business and agriculture. Rubin will also now provide its Aspire career exploration video platform and Propel email etiquette teaching tool.
All Rubin products integrate to Schoology, Miami-Dade’s learning management system, via LTI 1.3. That means students and teachers access Rubin content in Schoology seamlessly and without a traditional sign-in process.
“We are honored to work with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, one of the nation’s leading school districts,” said Danny Rubin, founder of Rubin. “Already we have made an impact on several thousand students, and we’re excited at the chance to make a deeper impression in the school years to come.”

Rubin Plays Key Role at Major Career Event for Northern Virginia Schools
The Rubin company played a pivotal role at a signature event for students and teachers in Northern Virginia, one of the most densely populated regions in the country.
The Instruction 2 Industry Career Readiness Event coupled with the inaugural Future Ready Conference enabled Rubin to be a sponsor and conduct a series of networking skills sessions to help students engage with employers. All the action took place in Fairfax County, Virginia on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
Rubin founder Danny Rubin led four, 20-minute workshops that taught students how to research a company’s website and generate a question based on a company news article. The lesson is drawn from Rubin’s Emerge employability skills curriculum. The students could then walk up to the employer’s booth at the career event and show genuine curiosity by asking the question.
Outside of the workshops, we also engaged with many school divisions that use Rubin products: Fairfax County Public Schools, Prince William County Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools, Manassas Park City Schools and Alexandria City Public Schools.
It was our pleasure to be an event sponsor, teach students real-time networking skills and visit our clients “in real life” rather than through a Zoom window.
Here are a few photos from the day!

Rubin Supports the Family and Consumer Sciences Industry
At Rubin, we are proud to support Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) and its vital role assisting individuals, families, and communities to live healthy and successful lives through the provision of education, research, and technology.
FCS programs provide individuals and families with essential life skills, including financial literacy, nutrition and wellness, human development, and consumer resource management. These competencies are crucial for fostering well-rounded, capable, and resilient individuals who can thrive in today’s dynamic world.
And the research conducted by FCS professionals and their work with local municipalities, counties, and states support the creation of healthy and resilient communities.
We have witnessed the positive impact of FCS services including education, outreach, and research and development firsthand. Employees with a background in FCS bring a unique set of skills that enhance their ability to balance work and personal responsibilities, make informed decisions, and contribute to a positive workplace culture. Their preparedness and adaptability are invaluable assets to our company and the broader community.
Investing in FCS education is an investment in our future. It equips individuals with the tools they need to lead healthy, productive lives and supports the development of a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. Whether those students enter the workforce as a nutritionist, financial advisor, early education assistant, or other areas, they are better prepared to be successful in their careers due to their knowledge in all areas of FCS. We believe that continued support for FCS programs will yield significant benefits for our society and economy.
We stand with FCS students and professionals and are committed to advocating for the importance of these programs, services, and the FCS industry. Together, we can ensure that Family and Consumer Sciences education continues to thrive and make a lasting impact on our community.
FCS matters now and into the future.

West Virginia University Career Advisor Calls Danny’s Book “Go-To Resource”
In December 2015, Eric Minor received two copies of my new book, Wait, How Do I Write This Email?.
Already, the director of student careers and opportunities at the West Virginia University Reed College of Media says the writing guide is a “go-to resource” as he works with students to apply for internships and jobs.
“Even a top student’s career trajectory can be knocked off-course by a clunker of an email,” said Minor. “Danny’s book is my go-to resource when I’m working with a student who wants to best represent his or her personal brand through the written word.”
Minor especially appreciates “Chapter 9: The Power of Stories.” In that section, Rubin encourages people to begin a cover letter with a short story of success on the job or during an internship. Minor says he agrees 100% with the approach.
“As a former journalist, I understand the power of storytelling, [and] I’m always pressing my students tell their own stories in a way that shows unique value to hiring professionals,” said Minor. “When I need an on-demand example of how to do this, I turn to a heavily dog-eared page 195 of Danny’s book and walk them through the process.”
See the book’s full table of contents here.
In fall of 2015, Depaul University writing instructor Jill Stewart began to include Wait, How Do I Write This Email? in her senior capstone seminar for public relations students. Now at West Virginia, students also benefit from the “real world textbook.”
Minor says students often ask if they can use his copy of Wait, How Do I Write This Email?. He says no problem — as long as they leave one with him.
“I’m grateful that I have two copies of Wait, How Do I Write This Email? because it is the most frequently borrowed book on my shelf.”
