Praxis embodies getting work done. I dropped out of college because I felt as if my wings were clipped. Praxis is letting me fly free. College tries to teach students how to fly, but I realized that you can’t learn how to be an entrepreneur by sitting at a desk reading about humanities. You become an entrepreneur by working at a startup. We don’t teach kids how to walk by showing them pictures and reading to them about it, they learn how to walk by just doing it.” Nick Tucker Business Partner: The PyRsquared Group Location: Pittsburgh, PA “During my senior year of high school everyone was focused on figuring out what college they were going to attend. I saw college as virtually my only option for the coming Fall. As I started to fill out applications, I began to doubt the value of attending college at all and researched some alternatives. That’s when I discovered Praxis. It was exactly what I’d been looking for. It’s the incredible combination of real-world business experience and higher level education that I was so drawn to. This is one of the most important steps I’ve taken to increase my value to others. Plus, Praxis is comprised of some of the most brilliant minds I’ve interacted with and the opportunity to be learning from them is just incredible.” Two of Our Graduates uploads/Industriel/ program-guide-praxis.pdf
