As soon as I joined the online community of participants, alumni and advisors I knew that Praxis was the best decision I could have made for my career.
I immediatley dived into the curriculum, workshops and group disucssion to start building my personal website, pitch deck and learning how to pitch yourself to businesses without a degree.
Within 4 months (before my offical start-date) I'd landed an internship that I leveraged into a full-time marketing role, working remote for a company in Australia. Now, a year and a half later, I'm still there and am incredibly satisfied with the skills I've been able to learn, and experience I've gained.
Throughout the entire experience all of my Praxis advisors were there to bounce ideas off of, offer guidance and connect me with other participants/alumni to talk things through with.
Without a doubt, Praxis has been a life changing experience that I'll never regret and look forward to continuing as a recent grad.
Pros:
Fantastic community and amazing advisors that help you get the most out of your apprenticeship
Cons:
No cons. Praxis does everything they say and then some. If you're willing to put in the work, you won't leave disappointed.

I was a participant in the first Praxis class in 2014. It's changed a bit since then, but all for the better. Praxis taught me practical skills needed to get and excel at a career, especially at a small business or startup, and the mindset/philosophical foundation needed to develop on my own. It's been a privilege to remain a part of the community and continue to grow with them as an alumnus even after my official time as a participant has passed.
Pros:
Learn the useful business skills and mindset that school didn't teach you
Cons:
None

When I found out about Praxis It seemed like the best choice to move forwards to take my first steps into the professional business world. I have currently been in the Program for several months, and it has been great. Everyone in Praxis is very helpful and encouraging. Praxis is a 1 year program but after the year ends you are not kicked out of the program. It is a point in time where I am heading into a lot of unknowns. But with the Praxis team there by my side I can say I am confident to give my best efforts and see where I end up from here!
Pros:
-You gain a body of work
-You have advisers who all have lots of years of experience to learn from and get feedback from.
-1 year course
Cons:
-It's all done online up till the apprenticeship.
-Praxis is a path less taken and less socially accepted

Praxis is hands down the best decision I have made for my career. I went from a 19 yr old cheese monger (selling cheese in the retail space), to working at a rapidly growing startup, quickly accumulating experience and responsibility.
My personal and professional growth has skyrocketed as a result of this experience, and I feel more equipped to handle anything life throws my way.
I started in customer support, working on the front lines and helping our customers fix their problems with our software. That experience and the communication skills I gained there helped me land a promotion to the marketing department as a Customer Marketing Associate.
Praxis gave me the tools, the encouragement, and the opportunity to accelerate me career. I brought the hard work and drive. Together we're unstoppable.
Pros:
Tangible skill building, amazing community, actionable advice, and career results I could only dream of!
Cons:
Limited Business Partner network (but it's growing!), still working out kinks of the program as they grow.

I am only in Module 2 (month 2) of Praxis, and already my productivity, creativity, applied skillsets, and goals are far more vast in every aspect than they were in just an 8 week period. Praxis caters to each person's experience, and encourages them to grow through high intensity exercises, videos, projects, and advising sessions. Because it is so tailored to each participant, it provides itself to be immeasurably valuable because it is so secular to each person.
Pros:
Vastly empowering experience that is guaranteed to set you up for progression in the career you want, regardless of industry!
Cons:
A smaller community of business partners, but growing everyday.

I just joined Praxis not long ago, and am just now doing my “pre-Praxis” module. However, I can tell already that this is going to be one of the best decisions I have made. The connection with others in the program, and those running Praxis is so cool! Others are encouraging yet honest and helpful in every area. There’s always someone to help. No matter what your interests are, at least look into the program! It’s changing the education market!
Pros:
Works with and for you. Mold’s to you instead of you to it. Doesn’t put you in 4 years of college debt.
Cons:
A lot to take in when first joining the program.

Praxis offers authentic learning and is changing mindsets on what it takes to be successful as an employee. If you haven’t heard, 2 weeks ago or so, Apple ibm a google all stated they were removing degrees as a condition of being job qualified. I’d say issac and his team were well ahead of this trend.
