Today, we’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for Libertas Network: we have acquired Praxis Careers LLC, a pioneering force in alternative education. This acquisition marks a significant leap forward in our mission to empower ambitious young people by breaking down barriers to opportunity and reimagining how education can work in the 21st century. We’re excited to share why this is such a game-changer for us—and for the next generation of trailblazers.
Why Praxis Fits Our Mission
At Libertas Network, we’ve always believed that the traditional education system—rigid, expensive, and often disconnected from real-world needs—fails too many talented individuals. We champion alternative models that prioritize practical skills, personal initiative, and real opportunities over outdated credentials. Praxis has been doing exactly that since its inception, helping young people bypass the conventional conveyor belt of college debt and indoctrination to instead launch meaningful careers on their own terms.
The company has had an impressive track record:
- Over 900 students served
- 81% did not earn a Bachelor’s degree
- $250,000 in average savings per student
- $50,000 average starting income
- 93% of students employed full time at graduation
By bringing Praxis into the Libertas family, we’re doubling down on our commitment to provide ambitious, self-directed individuals with the tools, networks, and experiences they need to thrive. Praxis’s proven model—combining intensive skill-building with direct access to innovative companies—perfectly complements our goal of dismantling barriers to entry and fostering a new kind of workforce. Together, we’re creating a platform where talent and drive matter more than pedigree or paperwork.
How We’ll Grow and Expand Praxis
This acquisition isn’t just about preserving what Praxis already does so well—it’s about taking it to the next level. Over the next few years, we have ambitious plans to grow and expand Praxis in ways that will amplify its impact and reach:
-
- Scaling the Program: We’ll increase the number of participants we can serve each year, opening doors for more young people to join this transformative experience. Expect bigger cohorts, more diverse opportunities, and a wider geographic footprint.
- Deepening Industry Connections: Libertas Network brings a robust network of forward-thinking companies and entrepreneurs. We’ll leverage these relationships to secure even more high-quality placements for Praxis participants, ensuring they land roles at cutting-edge organizations that value their skills and hustle.
- Enhancing the Curriculum: While Praxis’s hands-on, real-world focus is already top-notch, we’re exploring ways to integrate additional resources—like mentorship from Libertas leaders, advanced workshops, and tech-driven learning tools—to make the program even more dynamic.
- Entrepreneurship Program: Praxis focuses on helping young adults secure a well-paying job without needing to spend time and money pursuing an unnecessary degree. Some want to build their own business, and we’ll build out programming and support to help up and coming entrepreneurs launch—including providing back-office support and investment opportunities to get them off the ground.
This is just the beginning. With Libertas Network’s resources and vision, Praxis will evolve into an even more powerful engine for change, proving that education doesn’t need to follow a one-size-fits-all script.
Libertas Network’s president Connor Boyack said, “Bringing Praxis into the Libertas Network offers us the chance to supercharge a program that’s already changing lives and align it with our broader mission to rewrite the rules of opportunity. I can’t wait to see the incredible things our participants achieve as we build this future together. We’re going to 10x Praxis and create a large network of ambitious young people building better lives without barriers in the way.”
Praxis founder Isaac Morehouse said, “I can’t think of a better home for Praxis than Libertas Network. The Libertas team has built a national audience of families raising critically thinking children who seek alternatives to the K-12 and college conveyor belts—and that’s a perfect fit for Praxis. I couldn’t be happier!”
Looking Ahead
The acquisition of Praxis is more than a business move—it’s a statement of intent. At Libertas Network, we’re not content to tweak the edges of a broken system—we’re here to build something entirely new. With Praxis by our side, we’re one step closer to realizing the vivid vision we’ve laid out: a world where ambition and merit defines what’s possible. We’re here to break barriers and circumvent the conveyor belt. Life is too short to live by unnecessary and inefficient rules.
Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this journey. If you’re a young person ready to ditch the conveyor belt, or a company looking to hire bold, capable talent, we’d love to connect. Together, we’re redefining what education and opportunity can look like—and we’re just getting started.
