  • Rubin Expands to Correctional Facilities, Adds 20 School Division Partners to Conclude 2025

    Rubin Expands to Correctional Facilities, Adds 20 School Division Partners to Conclude 2025

    Rubin Founder Danny Rubin stands with the leadership team from Business Professionals of America (BPA) student group during the CareerTech VISION national conference in Nashville, TN in December 2025. Partnerships like the one withBPA helped Rubin grow in 2025.

    In a flurry of activity prior to the holiday break, Rubin has two exciting announcements that hope to set the new year on a proper course.

    We are pleased to announce a formal partnership with MaxxContent, a leading provider of educational and self-improvement digital courses for students of all ages involved in the justice system, including jails, prisons, probation and re-entry. 

    While K-12 is our core audience today, we believe Rubin lessons for email/phone etiquette, resume writing, job interview prep and more can benefit people in spaces like corrections and adult education. MaxxContent already works with correctional institutions nationwide and can offer Rubin products to educators in those facilities.

    MaxxContent delivers a secure learning management system (LMS) into correctional facilities, and Rubin lessons will be placed inside of that LMS. That’s a departure from our normal method of delivery with K-12 in which teachers and students log into the Rubin platform directly.

    We hope to have Rubin lessons ready in the MaxxContent platform in the first quarter of 2026.

    Back on the K-12 front, we have had a busy November and December. The Rubin team developed national partnerships with several student organizations, including Business Professionals of America, HOSA — Future Health Professionals, National Beta and the National Technical Honor Society.

    We offer advisors free access to Rubin products and special pilot pricing to create accounts for student members. The pilot offer has led to new paid engagements at 20 school divisions over the past six weeks — a mix of public schools (Biloxi Public School District in Mississippi), private schools (Bethany Christian School in Louisiana), charter schools (Ridgeline Academy in Phoenix) and homeschools (Young Scholars Junior Beta Club in Georgia).

    For comparison, Rubin typically adds 40 new school customers in a year.

    The goal in 2025 was to develop and solidify national partnerships to drive greater visibility for Rubin products. We made strides in that direction and will keep pushing in 2026.

  • Rubin Team Hits the Road for Successful Summer 2024

    Rubin Team Hits the Road for Successful Summer 2024

    The Rubin team was on the move in summer 2024!

    Houston, Ft. Worth, Orlando, Northern Virginia and more…we attended conferences and teacher in-service days to both promote Rubin products and train teachers on our resources.

    In July, we had a busy and productive time in Houston at the 2024 International Leadership Conference for HOSA — Future Health Professionals. We spoke with dozens of health science educators about our resources for employability skills. And now we have several conversations in the works to implement our Propel email etiquette tool within CTE programs coast to coast. See Propel for yourself! www.rubineducation.com/explore

    In Orlando at the 2024 National Leadership Conference for the Future Business Leaders of America, we had a wonderful time catching up with Holly Atha, president and CEO of MBA Research. The organization supports educators in the preparation of students for careers in the areas of business management, finance, marketing, hospitality and tourism management and entrepreneurship.

    In August, we hit the nation’s capital for in-person trainings in Loudoun County and Prince William County, two of the largest school districts in Virginia.

    In the photo below, Michael Grubbs, director of career, technical and adult education (CTAE) in Loudoun County, Virginia (near Washington, DC), proudly holds a Rubin poster. Loudoun County uses our Emerge curriculum for in-demand employability skills. Director Grubbs leans on Rubin to help students learn how to build meaningful relationships for college and career opportunities. Thank you, Loudoun County Public Schools, for all you do!

    The next day, we attended CTE Secondary Day for Prince William County Schools.

    We have worked with PWCS the past year on a content collaboration so teachers can access the Rubin Emerge employability skills curriculum and Aspire career exploration videos through Safari Montage and Canvas.

    Thank you, PWCS, for being a trusted partner as we help students learn to communicate professionally.
