August 2021 saw Kian leave Hollinwood Academy. He achieved a variety of qualifications at Hollinwood Academy, including Employability and functional skills in Mathematics and English. He stayed within the Multi-Academy trust after leaving Hollinwood Academy and proceeded to New Bridge College, where he enrolled in the pre-internship pathway. He has kept up his diligent approach to learning, and he is about to have his first interview for a position working in the service carriage of trains. As a school we wish you the best of luck in your forthcoming interview.

Here are a few words from Kian:

I’m now into my second year into Pre-Interns I’ve now experienced a variety of different work placements mostly within the catering industry; which is something I never thought I would be able to manage.

Now I’m in my second year and look at me now I can work more independently and have been searching and applying for suitable jobs within the transport industry and that’s an industry I want to work in. I’ve recently applied for Jobs at Metrolink and Transport for Wales. I’ve been lucky to get a first stage interview with Transport for Wales and it’s based at Manchester Piccadilly. I have come a long way from when I first started in the Pre-interns last year and I’m proud of my achievements. I feel more confident and positive about my future.
