Praxis - Apprenticeship program and career accelerator

I got accepted into the Praxis program in July of 2017. Even before I started the program, I was invited into a community of people that pushed me past my limits and encouraged me to never stop growing. The community constantly collaborates on projects. The more experienced ones pass on their knowledge, and the flow of ideas never stops in the community.

During the 6-month boot camp, I was challenged more than ever before in my life. I became a better writer and thinker, and I learned the basic skills that it takes to succeed in the startup world today. This boot camp is something that many people try to get from a 4-year business degree, in 1/8 of the time!

The cool thing is, the entire program was entirely customizable to my individual career goals. Advisors worked one-on-one with me as I completed the boot camp and kept me accountable to my own plans and ideas.

The second half of the program is the apprenticeship. I'm making back the money I put into the program. I'm being paid to learn! There's nothing like taking the reins of your career and learning by experience.

Now, I'm almost finished with my apprenticeship as a marketing associate. It's been the best $12,000 year of my life!

It's the experience that entrepreneurial-minded young adults need.

It's a new idea that is just catching on!

I was accepted to the Praxis program this past May. I start the program officially in October, but as a pre-program participant there is already so much I can gather and say about the program. From the day I was accepted, my life, both externally and internally, changed profoundly. I feel myself changing everyday (for the better), and transforming into a more productive, creative, motivated human.

There is something really refreshing about being a part of a community of like-minded people. Despite differences in backgrounds, interests, and goals, we are all in the Praxis program because we share the same mindset about the Praxis mission: documenting a proven track record that there are (many) other ways to learning, success, happiness, goal-achievement outside of traditional higher education.

I'm very happy with the program thus far and I can't wait to see what else I can do.

strong community, networking opportunities, many resources for learning all kinds of skills, PAID apprenticeship with an actual company

Relatively new so they're still working out kinks in the program

Easily the best career decision of my life, Praxis rocketed me from teen terrified of the future to confident person in the working world.

I was at home and like most kiddos my age, I was anxious and worried about “what to do with my life.” Praxis solved the problem.

I completed their professional bootcamp and learned the ideas and skills necessary to create legitimate value for real companies.

Then they helped me move across the country to work in a growing startup, where I learned an invaluable lesson: that every career is a dynamic, ever-changing animal, and that the most exciting part is adventuring through the endless roar of options.

It’s a shame we fret about ”a perfect future”, because we miss out on the fun that comes from discovering our future one experience at a time. That is what Praxis taught me, and I am more competent and happy in the world because of it.

Excellent content, world-class training, and a life changing experience.

Praxis doesn’t have job opps for every possible industry, but that will surely change soon.

I was recently accepted to the Praxis program. I'm currently in the pre-program. And I'm totally fulfilled, the community and the Praxis team are fantastic. The modules are very interesting, I think I learned more in 2 weeks than in 3 months at school.

Great community and the modules are very interesting. Very selective, so only the best get accepted.

Can't get a business partner if you don't have a green card. Also not in remote..

The application process to Praxis was fun and very challenging! It felt very rewarding to get accepted in June of 2017. I went to the 3 day workshop/meetup in August in Atlanta and left feeling inspired by all the smart and creative people I met who were alumni, current participants, or mentors. Praxis pushed me to hustle harder than I ever had before, but now I look back at all the work I published to my website and feel proud and empowered.

During the apprenticeship interview process, Praxis did a great job of preparing me to talk to each company and my mentor Ryan was fantastic. Chuck and TK Coleman gave me great advice over a couple calls and emails. The resources they have on the Praxis portal and the mentors are very accessible and valuable.

My apprenticeship has been better than I could ever ask for. I'm challenged every day to be creative, solve problems, and meet deadlines. My coworkers have turned into my family while some have turned into exceptional mentors to help me grow in my career.

I've recently signed an offer to work for this company full time and I'm extremely grateful for this opportunity. I would highly recommend this program for anyone who's willing to hustle for the things that will make you feel fulfilled and valuable.

I got my dream job!

The remote bootcamp requires some self motivation

I didn’t have much hope for reaching my dreams and creating the career I wanted until I joined Praxis. I didn’t go to college, so I was always trying to make it on my own. I was a freelancer for a while, and then I started my own business with my brother, but nothing seemed to work out and I never knew why. It wasn’t until I realized that I needed the help of advisors to guide me in the right direction that things started moving. Having the Praxis community has also had a profound impact on not only my productivity, but on my view of the world as well.

It is a great program for launching your career and fast-tracking your portfolio in whatever industry you want to get into.

The community is still new so it’s still developing, but given how new they are, I say they’ve come a long way in a short time.
