ABOUT US
Our Journey
Founded in 2016, Opplet emerged from a vision to bridge the gap between traditional education and practical workplace skills. What began as a collaborative project at Virginia Tech has evolved into an independent, robust platform that’s reshaping technology education and career development.
Practical Excellence: We believe in learning by doing
Innovation: We constantly evolve our platform and methodologies
Independence: We maintain technological autonomy to ensure quality
Security: We prioritize data protection and privacy
Accessibility: We make professional tools and training available to all
To provide accessible, practical technology education and real-world experience through a secure, independent platform that prepares individuals for successful careers in IT and AI.
Our Evolution
From Partnership to Independence
Our journey started with managing external vendor accounts and partner relationships. While valuable, this approach had limitations. Through dedicated development and innovation, we’ve built our own comprehensive cloud infrastructure, giving us the freedom to create the best possible learning environment for our users.
Technical Independence
Today, Opplet stands as a self-sufficient platform, powered by our secure cloud infrastructure and carefully selected open-source tools. This independence allows us to provide consistent, high-quality experiences while maintaining complete control over data security and user privacy.
