Sabre Corporation announced a partnership with Girls Who Code (GWC), an international non-profit organization dedicated to closing the gender gap in technology.
Sabre’s sponsorship will support 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.
Shawn Williams, Chief People Officer for Sabre, said, “Girls Who Code and its focus on gender equity in engineering and other technology fields aligns with our commitment to embrace a culture where every team member has an opportunity to be successful as we work together to develop the solutions that will power the future of travel.”
Tarika Barrett, CEO of Girls Who Code, said, “Our partnership with Sabre is an important step in our work to close the gender gap in tech and level the playing field for our most marginalized students. 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”.
