Diazan alumni talking at Cadbury College

Former Cadbury student returns to inspire future finance professionals

Cadbury Sixth Form College was delighted to welcome back alumni Diazan Yafai, who is now flourishing in his role as a Senior Financial Management Assistant at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

Diazan shared his career journey with current students, offering insight into how he successfully secured a permanent role just six months into his apprenticeship. He now plays a crucial part in managing a £110 million budget, supporting oncology and radiotherapy teams in understanding the financial impact of their work on patient care.

Reflecting on his time at Cadbury, Diazan said:
“At Cadbury I was able to develop in many areas such as communication with fellow students, keen analytical skills and responsibility. This has been carried forward into my day-to-day role where I enjoy having a direct impact on patient care. This apprenticeship has given me exposure to a professional environment and I am proud of the difference I’m able to make.”

Diazan’s visit served as a powerful source of inspiration, demonstrating the real-world success that can follow from strong foundations built at Cadbury Sixth Form College.
