Morial Convention Center\n\nLinux Professional Institute (LPI) will participate in ACTE’s CareerTech VISION 2026\, the premier event for career and technical education (CTE) professionals and the centerpiece of ACTE’s centennial celebration marking 100 years of leadership\, innovation\, and impact in CTE. \nCareerTech VISION convenes more than 6\,000 secondary and postsecondary educators\, business leaders\, and industry experts from around the world. This four-day event represents the largest annual gathering in the CTE community\, bringing together the decision-makers and educators who define curricula for career-related training programs across the United States. \nLPI and Career Technical Education \nCareer and Technical Education programs prepare students for high-demand careers across industries increasingly dependent on technology infrastructure. Linux and open source skills represent essential foundations for technology career pathways\, from IT administration and cybersecurity to cloud computing and DevOps. \nLPI will showcase certification pathways\, learning materials\, and career opportunities in the open source industry. The event provides an opportunity to connect with CTE program leaders who are shaping workforce development curricula and preparing students for technology careers. \nVendor-Neutral Credentials for CTE Programs \nLPI’s vendor-neutral approach aligns naturally with CTE program objectives. Institutions can integrate globally recognized Linux and open source certifications into career pathways without committing to single-vendor technology stacks. This flexibility allows programs to focus on foundational skills while giving students credentials valued across industries. \nLPI provides learning materials\, exam delivery\, and credential management that integrate with existing CTE infrastructure\, reducing implementation barriers for schools and colleges. \nHonoring a Century of Career Education \nCareerTech VISION 2026 honors ACTE’s legacy while engaging with leaders and experts shaping the future of education and workforce development. The centennial celebration recognizes CTE’s critical role in preparing students for meaningful careers and addressing workforce needs across sectors. \nVisit the LPI booth to explore how Linux and open source certification can strengthen your CTE program’s technology career pathways and student outcomes. \n\nEvent website:\n\nhttps://www.careertechvision.com/ URL:https://www.lpi.org/de/event/acte-26/ LOCATION:Ernest N.
