Cheer on the grad in your life during this monumental time with thoughtful gifts.

We recently brought on a lot of new people into the Zappos Family, and last week we celebrated their hard work with a graduation ceremony. We know we've posted graduations in the past, but they're all very different and this is one of our favorites so far! Congratulations to all the Zappos Family New Hire Graduates!

Zappos CLT, Inc. hosted a Graduation ceremony for the team members that just completed their incubation training . It was a time for everyone to take a break from their day and congratulate the newest members of the Zappos family for all their hard work.

Our CLT class just graduated! Good luck to all the grads!

Today, Kenny L is our Zapponian of the Day because he is graduating from College, it’s his Birthday, well, on Saturday it is, and he ate pudding for breakfast. If this doesn’t deserve a Zapponian of the Day, then I don’t know what does.

The October Customer Loyalty class graduated on Friday, and as is the tradition, they did a parade and their inspired chant for the rest of the office in the 2280 building. We love our CLT department, and good luck to all of our new Zapponians! Welcome and congratulations!

May is a special time of year for many reasons I’m sure, but I’m pointing out one special thing amongst many: Graduation! This year, we are helping Derek Carder celebrate his graduation from UNLV where he studied his fingers to the bone in Psychology. Leads, supervisors, and managers of CLT came to help Derek celebrate this glorious time.

Everyone dressed up in custom graduation caps and made their way to Derek’s desk where he was surprised with music and hearty applause and job well done. He even got cake!

Good job, sir….good job. Congratulations, Derek!

We had another training class graduate today. Everyone at Zappos goes through the CLT training program and learns firsthand how to WOW the Zappos way. It provides a shared experience for us all and keeps us grounded to the importance of our customers. I went though it almost a year ago and I had a great time. Our training department is simply superb.

Here’s a picture and a YouTube clip of the new graduates on their traditional parade. Yeah, I got a little misty.

Congratulations to the new graduates!
