SUMMARY:LPI at ACTE CareerTech VISION 2026: Open Source Careers for CTE
DESCRIPTION:December 2-5\, 2026\nNew Orleans\, Louisiana\, United States\nErnest N. 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/

SUMMARY:LPI Media Partner of OpsJam 2027 at UC Irvine
DESCRIPTION:January 16-17\, 2027\nUniversity of California\, Irvine\, California\, United States\n\nLinux Professional Institute (LPI) is proud to serve as Media Partner for OpsJam 2027\, an infrastructure-focused hackathon hosted by the Anteater Linux User Group (ALUG@UCI) at the University of California\, Irvine. \nBuild\, Break\, Scale\nOpsJam brings together students from universities across the region to build\, break\, and scale real infrastructure over a single weekend. Alongside the core build sprint\, participants can attend workshops and join social events with other students working in DevOps\, orchestration\, monitoring\, and systems engineering. \n20% Discount on LPI Certifications\nOpsJam 2027 participants receive a 20% discount on LPI certification exams. This exclusive offer allows students to validate their Linux and open source skills with globally recognized credentials before entering the job market. \nWhy Infrastructure Skills Matter\nLinux sits underneath the vast majority of modern infrastructure\, from cloud platforms to container orchestration to monitoring stacks. Hackathons like OpsJam give students something a lecture cannot: the experience of standing up systems under time pressure\, watching them fail\, and fixing them. That is precisely the skill set employers look for\, and precisely what vendor-neutral certification is designed to validate. \nAbout ALUG@UCI\nThe Anteater Linux User Group is UC Irvine’s community for Linux and open source: a hands-on\, peer-driven group where students build real-world skills in DevOps\, self-hosting\, and systems administration while working on projects together. ALUG@UCI meets weekly during term\, runs an installfest and LAN party each quarter\, and maintains its own Git infrastructure and community projects. \nOpsJam is the group’s flagship event\, extending that hands-on culture to students across universities. \nGet Involved\nStudents interested in Linux and open source can join ALUG@UCI’s Discord community and explore their open project repositories. Applications for OpsJam 2027 open through the event website. \nALUG@UCI is currently welcoming sponsors and partners for OpsJam 2027. Organizations interested in supporting student infrastructure talent can find details on the event website. \n\nEvent website: OpsJam 2027\nALUG@UCI: Anteater Linux User Group
