Praxis and Libertas unite to Empower young adults
The education market today calls for creative destruction to break down outdated systems that no longer fit a fast-changing world, where tech breakthroughs and shifting job trends demand fresh, bold solutions. Traditional college, with its soaring costs and rigid structure, often falls short of giving students the hands-on skills and flexibility they need to thrive in today’s economy, making programs like Praxis not just a nice option but a real necessity. By shaking up the higher education system, Praxis will pave the way for learning that’s affordable, practical, and focused on real-world results instead of just piling up credentials.
Praxis has been a game-changer for young adults looking to forge their own paths and begin their careers without the enormous burden of college debt. For over a decade, Praxis has helped hundreds of young adults launch their careers without needing a college degree, helping them save time and money. This program equips participants with real-world experience and professional skills at a fraction of the cost of traditional college. By bringing it into the Libertas Network, we’re amplifying its potential to help ambitious individuals take control of their futures. We see this acquisition as a complement to our existing programs, such as Tuttle Twins and the Children’s Entrepreneur Markets, which give young people the ideas and tools for success.
This acquisition isn’t just about preserving what Praxis already does well—it’s about expanding opportunities for even more young adults. In the coming years, Libertas will:
- Scale the Program – We’ll substantially increase the number of students we serve each year, opening doors for more young adults to break free from the conveyor belt. Expect bigger and more cohorts, more diverse career opportunities, and a wider geographic footprint.
- Deepen Industry Connections – We’ll leverage our robust network of forward-thinking companies and entrepreneurs to create even more high-quality career outcomes.
- Enhance the Curriculum – While the program already offers a top-notch alternative to college, we’ll explore ways to integrate even more resources for students to make the program even more dynamic.
- Launch an Entrepreneurship Program – Traditionally, Praxis has focused primarily on helping young adults pursue traditional career opportunities without the time or money spent on a college degree. Many students want to build their own businesses, and we’re going to build a world class experience to help students become entrepreneurs, too––including providing resources, back-office support, and investment opportunities.
