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.
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.
I still remember the day when I was walking on campus to my next class, listening to a podcast, and I heard about Praxis. I stopped in my tracks.
I knew this was exactly what I needed to bypass through college and earn real, hands-on marketing experience. Which was something my college (or any college for that matter) really can't match.
I went through the program over a year ago and I would highly recommend it to anyone who prefers raw experience over sitting in classes "learning" about largely outdated information.
It improved my writing tenfold, helped morph me into a young professional, and I still get value out of the content Praxis regularly puts out.
Everyone at Praxis is so dedicated to you. And beyond that, they're dedicated to ending the increasingly-expensive, failing higher education model that we've all been led to believe is the only way to get a "real" job.
It was one of the best decisions I've ever made and was totally worth the few tough talks I had to have with my family when I told them I was officially dropping out of college.
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!
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.
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.
The single most important, challenging, and life-changing educational / professional program I have ever been a part of. My growth from where I was 3 years ago is nothing short of profound.
Go through the program, consume the blog posts, and put them into practice. Do that and you will never again have to worry about getting a job you want.
The value you receive is as much as the effort you're willing to put in. The best part is life-time access to the community, if you fall short you can make it up to yourself later on. You will be challenged, you will be engaged, and you will be driven to continually improve and grow. I cannot recommend the program highly enough.
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.
