Hey everyone! At Praxis we're committed to helping people discover and do what makes them come alive.
The stale, stagnant, credentialist conveyor belt is dying. Good.
We're helping people gain skills and build a signal of those skills through a "body of work" - a collection of real projects that prove their ability, and then leverage that into an apprenticeship.
Resumes and degrees won't get you skills, and they won't get you interviews. You have to be your own credential, and we can help!
The coolest thing is that we focus primarily on non-tech people, and help them get awesome non-tech roles (usually at tech companies!). Things like sales, marketing, customer success, and operations are amazing starting points to get into the real world and learn more about yourself and the market.
We've launched over 250 careers. 96% of our grads get hired straight away, at an average salary of $50k. Almost none of them have degrees. By the time their peers do, they've got 3+ years of work experience and a whole lot more!
Our program has a net cost of zero. You earn more than you pay in tuition. But it's hard. This isn't school, with a bunch of hoop-jumping and grade-grubbing. You've got to commit to growth and learn to create value.
OK, hit me with questions, and if you know anyone who's a good fit for the program, send them our way! We have tons of free career launch resources at our website too!

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.
Pros:
I got my dream job!
Cons:
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.
Pros:
It is a great program for launching your career and fast-tracking your portfolio in whatever industry you want to get into.
Cons:
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.

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.
Pros:
Great community and the modules are very interesting. Very selective, so only the best get accepted.
Cons:
Can't get a business partner if you don't have a green card. Also not in remote..

I did this program during the early stages (started in September of 2014). They have continued to improve it! This program requires grit and hard work but allows young people to get ahead of their peers in launching a career and gaining valuable skills.
I do not regret my decision to do the program and recommend it to ambitious young people who want more than college.
Pros:
Affordable (net zero cost), challenging, great network of alumni
Cons:
Still growing their network of business partners but it continues to get better

My BP taught me everything I'd ever need to know at a foundational level about sales and marketing, or more specifically, becoming a persuasive communicator, whether it is by phone, in person, or through writing. This is allowed me an incredible amount of freedom in my career. If you value creating a life with immense financial and professional freedom, Praxis is going to be a great start for you.
Pros:
Because of Praxis, I made/make a whole bunch of money
Cons:
No cons, my goal was to learn to be valuable enough to make a bunch of money and I was able to do that.

Praxis is a phenomenal business that is already changing the way I look at life, and the challenges is gives me. As a participant, I have been pushed by the advisors and the rest of the community to strive for the best in everything I do. Praxis is the only place that I have found that shares of the same passion towards the importance of creation as I do, and they have taken it to a whole new level. When I decided to choose Praxos over college, I was admittedly nervous, but upon my opening seminar I can say with 100% certainty that whatever doubt I had was eradicated. I believe strongly in they're program and the positive knowledge I will gain from it. I believe strongly in they're team of advisors that have help ed me along the path. Most importantly, and thanks to Praxis, I believe strongly in myself and my ability to create value wherever I go!
