Oppura

Oppura is a free platform designed to help students find and apply to every student opportunity available, regardless of their major or university. The platform addresses the limitation students face when relying only on word-of-mouth, school career centers, or newsletters that often get ignored. The platform aggregates various types of student opportunities including fellowships, accelerators, hackathons, summer programs, and more. It aims to provide access to opportunities at a scale that traditional career centers cannot match, ensuring students are not limited by their immediate surroundings or network. Oppura was built by a student who experienced firsthand the challenges of discovering relevant programs while organizing physical student-led initiatives at university. The founder used various guerrilla marketing tactics including hanging signs, social collaborations, and WhatsApp groups, but realized these methods were insufficient for reaching all students who could benefit from such opportunities. The platform operates on the principle that no student should be limited by their surrounding network or institution. By centralizing opportunities from multiple categories that existing tools typically handle separately, Oppura provides a comprehensive solution for students seeking practical experience beyond good grades. The service is particularly relevant in 2026 when AI has raised the bar for juniors, making practical experience more crucial than ever for employment prospects. Employers are increasingly looking for candidates with hands-on experience, making access to diverse opportunities essential for student career development. Oppura targets students across all majors and universities who are seeking life-changing programs to gain practical experience and enhance their career prospects. The platform is free to use and was built specifically for students by someone who understands their needs and challenges.
