16: You're Hired! College isn't the only way to go: Meet Cameron Sorsby with Praxis | The Hive Five

Today on the Hive Five, we were really excited to talk with Cameron Sorsby, the Chief Operating Officer of Praxis. In that role, he does a lot of things, but helps with sales, organizing their program, and serving as an advisor to those enrolled in Praxis.

Praxis is working to build the future of education through apprenticeships for high-growth startups. They like to consider themselves a career launch company. By aiming them to help young people discover their career goals and build a valuable body of work, they help them launch those careers. Founded in 2013, they have experienced pretty exponential growth in the last 2 ½ years, and have launched around 250 careers thus far.

Many people view Praxis as an alternative or supplement to college and consists of two main parts. It starts with a six-month boot camp which is completely done remotely. The focus here is to help the student prepare to go into the second part of the program which is the six-month apprenticeship. Before being placed in their high-growth startups for the apprenticeship they have to be able to prove their value to these companies. During the boot camp, they build a body of work to prove that they can create value and show experience. After the boot camp, they apply to high-growth startups partnered with Praxis. These apprenticeships put them in real life experience and many times the students are hired by the company they apprentice with.

For someone who doesn’t think college is for them, or feels as if college didn’t adequately prepare them for a career, Praxis is a viable option and worth looking into.

Cameron’s 5 Takeaways:

1. Learn how to create value for others

2. Get in the mindset of building a body of work that proves that value

3. Don’t worry about following your passion or finding your dream job yet

4. Be interested and interesting

5. Learn how to have fun doing really hard things
