Graduate Spotlight: Kieran’s Journey Into the Care Industry

Meet Kieran, a driven and insightful graduate from Bournemouth University’s Business School, where he studied Business Management with a Project Management pathway.

His journey shows how curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to learn can shape a successful career in care and business operations.

From Eastleigh Council to Enterprise

Kieran’s professional path began during the pandemic when he joined Eastleigh Council as an apprentice in Case Management. During this time, he worked on planning permissions, building maintenance, and invoice systems. This role gave him early exposure to operational logistics and public service.

Later, during his degree, Kieran completed a year-long internship with Enterprise. He managed fleet operations across branches and worked with a diverse client base, including corporate accounts and insurance providers. The role was intense, with long hours and fast-paced decision-making. However, it helped Kieran define his career goals and understand the structure and logistics of large organisations.

University Life and Key Takeaways

At Bournemouth, Kieran thrived in the Business Management (Project Management) programme. His favourite module was Supply Chain Management because it taught him how resources are allocated and how companies structure themselves to maximise efficiency.

His biggest takeaway from university? Time management. Balancing coursework, projects, and personal development taught him how to prioritise, stay organised, and deliver results under pressure.
