Dear friends,
Our young adults face a massive challenge today.
Theyâre constantly subjected to propaganda, assaults on faith and traditional family values, political hostility, questionable âscienceâ, and an ever-mounting pressure to conform â or else.
In the background, the government continues to destroy the value of our dollar, drive up taxes, gravel to corporate interests while bullying small businesses, and tighten the noose around the necks of millions of hard-working, middle class Americans.
Imagine being 18 years old today, trying to figure out what on earth youâre supposed to do in the wake of all this madness, knowing you actually want to make something of yourself and avoid becoming a victim of circumstances.Â
Especially in light of whatâs happening at most universities today. Where you might be lucky to get out without being expelled, cancelled, brainwashed, forcibly vaccinated, or financially crippled by student debt.
So what choice do you have as a family who wants the best for your kids, but without all the absolute ridiculousness of college?
Well, thatâs exactly why I asked our friends over at the Babylon Bee if I could hijack their newsletter to write to you today.
I wanted to share with you that there is a different option than college available that actually helps young adults get ahead. And it doesnât come with all the baggage of âwokeâ political ideas, vaccine mandates, or hostility against traditional values.
Itâs an option thatâs actually grounded soundly in a proven historical model, too.
That option is apprenticeship.
Apprenticeships are a proven model for young adults to gain the context, confidence, and competence that will enable them to prosper.
Imagine how much different the world might look if the average 20-something was debt-free, making decent money, working in a meaningful career, and felt like they had tangible opportunity for personal and professional advancement?
Thatâs why Iâm writing to you today. Because thatâs exactly what weâre all about at Praxis.
Since 2013, weâve helped hundreds of young adults achieve personal, professional, and financial success.
We do this through a year-long apprenticeship program that matches hard-working, ambitious young adults with full-time, paid opportunities at growing businesses across the US â all without the cost or hassle of college.
Through a combination of business curriculum, professional workshops, projects, and coaching, apprentices explore different skill areas that align with their interests and develop critical context â and then theyâre matched with a full-time, paid apprenticeship at a growing business, where theyâll get six months of real-world work experience before they graduate.
Itâs not about being âanti-collegeâ.
As a company, we honestly believe that our world is a better, more peaceful, more prosperous place when people are fully engaged in their lives, their work, their families, and their communities.
Our goal in building Praxis is to help young adults discover and do work that makes them come alive. Weâve already helped hundreds of others do just that.
If youâre ready to explore something different from college, Iâd encourage you to join us for our upcoming workshop â where weâll share how you can discover a career that excites you and land your first professional opportunity as soon as next year.
And hereâs what Iâm most excited about: weâre offering a limited number of scholarships for Babylon Bee subscribers and their families who attend the session then choose to enroll in our program.
If youâve ever wondered whether college is really worth it or not, then RSVP here to join us at our upcoming live discussion. (Even if you canât make it, weâll send you the recording. Just click here to register for the session.) Â
