August 5th was an amazing day for us at Expedia Group‘s stunning waterfront headquarters in Seattle! Pre-Apprenticeship students and instructors alike enjoyed the experience. Huge thanks to Nandini Shrinidhi for organizing this visit and being such a wonderful hostess throughout the day.
The highlights included:
– A brief but fascinating campus tour showcasing Expedia’s innovative workspace
– A delicious lunch with the team
– An inspiring panel discussion with our awesome speakers
What truly impressed us wasn’t just the technical expertise shared during the Q&A, but the genuine passion these software engineers and product managers have for Expedia’s mission of connecting people through travel. Their enthusiasm was contagious and gave our students invaluable insights into both the technical challenges and company culture in tech.
Our students left feeling energized and inspired to apply these learnings as they continue building their careers in software development.
Special thanks to our excellent panelists: Nandini Shrinidhi, Chandler Beyer, Austin Ruf, Pankaj Dabade, kokou VIWOTO, and Ava Seldin.
Thank you, Expedia, for investing in the next generation of tech talent!
