The apprentices spent eight weeks during\u00a0the summer of this year embedded in five different Expedia Worldwide Engineering teams, working side-by-side with our engineers on a range of projects and learning about\u00a0our technology, our agile practices, and our culture.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">We are pleased to announce that in 2016 we will welcome apprentices back from the pool of all Girls Who Code alumnae in the Seattle area!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Apprentices in this program will be integrated into Expedia\u2019s company and culture right off the bat, working with real code and experiencing first-hand what it\u2019s like to be on an engineering team. (Basically, this means they\u2019ll tackle everything from putting code into production to engaging in friendly NERF gun fights.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">We strive to make our apprentices feel like \u201ctrue Expedians,\u201d and cannot wait to see what next year and our new class of young women bring to the table. We also are excited to see how our next crop of Apprentices continues to progress in the field of computer science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">Check out how amazing Expedia\u2019s Inaugural apprenticeship was by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/viewfinder.expedia.com\/features\/2015-expedia-apprenticeship-program\">here<\/a>!
