Exploring Careers in Tech: Roads to Success Teens Visit Dataiku’s Office

At Roads to Success(RTS), we strive to equip our students with the knowledge, exposure, and confidence they need to pursue careers that excite and inspire them. Thanks to the generosity of our long-time partners at Dataiku, a group of 20-30 RTS teens recently had the opportunity to step inside the world of tech, sales, and artificial intelligence for an immersive 'Career Day' at Dataiku’s Manhattan office.

From the moment they arrived, students were immersed in a day filled with hands-on learning, insightful discussions, and real-world experiences that broadened their perspectives on the many possibilities within the tech industry. They engaged with Dataiku professionals, hearing firsthand about their career journeys—what sparked their interest in tech, the challenges they faced, and the skills that helped them succeed. In breakout sessions, students worked in teams, tackled problem-solving activities, and even stepped into the role of sales professionals, pitching their own innovative technology concepts.

The Power of Exposure

This experience was more than just a field trip—it was an opportunity for our students to see themselves in careers they may have never considered before. By stepping into a real-world tech company, meeting industry professionals, and participating in hands-on activities, they were able to bridge the gap between curiosity and confidence.

A huge thank you to Dataiku for making this experience possible. Your commitment to exposing young minds to the tech industry and providing them with invaluable career guidance is truly inspiring. Because of partners like you, RTS students are one step closer to achieving their dreams.

At RTS, we know that when students see what’s possible, they believe in their own potential—and that belief is where success begins.
