During the second half of May, Rubin started to work with eight new school districts or tech centers for our employability skills products. The initial users will be advisors of the student group Business Professionals of America (BPA).

The BPA advisors experienced a free sample of Rubin Emerge and Aspire and then decided to purchase the full version for their students in the 25-26 academic year.

The new customers:

1. Vanguard Tech Center in Fremont, Ohio

2. Four County Career Center in Archbold, Ohio

3. West Central Area School District in Barrett, Minnesota

4. Metropolitan District of North Posey County in North Posey, Indiana

5. Moscow School District #281 in Moscow, Idaho

6. Pioneer Technology & Arts Academy in Dallas, Texas

7. Wichita Public Schools in Wichita, Kansas

8. Ovid-Elsie Area Schools in Elsie, Michigan

We look forward to kicking off the relationship in the new school year!

Coming in fall 2025: Scoring system for student emails

Students have written emails for decades, but have they ever received a grade in Gmail for the quality of their emails? 

Starting this fall, our Propel email etiquette tool will provide students with a score out of 100 based on their professionalism (see image below).

So when a CTE admin tells you, “Student communication skills are so bad these days,” you can turn around and say, “We have a solution!”
