Callum Barker

I joined MTC a year ago as a Business Graduate – a the scheme will place me in four rotations over two years. So far I’ve been in Human Resources, Technology Strategy, and I’m about to move into Business Development.

Following GCSE’s I decided to study Maths and the Sciences at A-Level. I knew I wanted to go to University but I found it really difficult to decide what to do. I had a place to study Veterinary Medicine, but changed this last minute to Geology!

After finishing my BSc in Geology at the University of Manchester, I went straight into a job as an Innovation Consultant. I enjoyed this for 3 years but then decided to look for a new challenge where I could gain broader experience whilst still in the R&D/innovation world, so I joined MTC!
