Release Details
Sabre launches partnership with Girls Who Code
Collaboration highlights commitment to gender equity in tech
Sabre's sponsorship will help empower a generation of change-makers by supporting Girls Who Code after school clubs for 3rd to 12th graders, which seek to educate, engage and connect girls with technology in their communities. At the collegiate-level, the GWC alumni program helps women develop skills, build confidence, and connect with women in technology.
"As a leading technology provider for the travel industry, Sabre has a vested interest in making sure tomorrow's brightest technologists embody the rich diversity that we need in our company,"
Through Sabre's Women In Tech resource group, Sabre team members will have the opportunity to actively engage in Girls Who Code events, community-building activities and recruitment opportunities for Sabre internships and careers.
"At Girls Who Code, we understand that it's not enough to foster a passion for computer science among girls and young women. We also need to build pathways to ensure that they are given equal access to opportunities that turn their interest into lucrative and exciting careers," said
Sabre is committed to creating a culture of inclusion and belonging and values the diversity of our employees all around the world. Sabre's inclusion groups, including Women In Technology and Women's Career Network, foster an environment where employees can bring their full selves to work and belong. In addition, Sabre's corporate social responsibility (CSR) program has a rich history of giving back to our communities all over the world, including the support of organizations who educate and empower underrepresented and underserved groups. Full-time team members are also given one paid day, every quarter, to give time to causes and organizations they choose.
