Manchester Metropolitan University Social Science Graduates Networking Event – 16 October

Representatives of voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are invited to join Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) and their Graduate Career Team for an event on Friday 16 October.

This event offers an opportunity for people working for VCSEs to discuss their organisation and current or future opportunities they may have available with potential volunteers or staff recruits who have recently graduated in a social science subject.

A practical guide to the ethics of AI for VCSE groups

Even if your organisation doesn't have an official policy or subscription to an AI service, employees, volunteers and service users are using it: sometimes for good, sometimes for bad. That’s why it's more important than ever that every VSCE organisation has a robust ethical position on AI, not just a tick box policy.
