  • 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.

    Word of the Year: Partnerships

    Rubin Kicks Off Partnership with National Beta Student Club

    We are thrilled to begin a partnership with National Beta, a student club that equips the next generation with tools and skills for leadership in school as well as life.

    In addition to the national partnership, we are also the official sponsor of Beta’s National Convention Speech Competition. The sponsorship brings together two organizations dedicated to cultivating leadership and communication with today’s students.

    “Rubin is a natural fit for National Beta,” said Roxanne Johnson, Event Marketing and Sponsorship Manager. “Their resources directly align with our mission to develop a community of leaders and will help Betas elevate their competition preparation for both State Conventions and Leadership Summits.”

    Through this sponsorship, National Beta sponsors can gain free access to Rubin’s EMERGE product simply by signing up and scheduling a 10-minute welcome call. Schools and sponsors who wish to extend access to students can do so for just $10 per student, gaining full access to Rubin’s tools, badges, and certificates.

    Topics and learning modules include:

    • Phone and video etiquette
    • Life and employability skills
    • Social media etiquette
    • Email professionalism
    • Free Webinar Series from Industry Professionals

    This sponsorship supports a goal of empowering students with practical, lifelong skills that extend beyond the classroom, helping them become not only better competitors but stronger leaders in their communities.

    We are excited to get started!

    Reaching students in public, private and more.
