  • Building ethical AI frameworks: Explore actionable steps to mitigate bias, promote fairness, and ensure AI serves as a tool for inclusion, not exclusion, in your recruitment practices.

Our speakers:

Keith Von Tersch – Youth Engagement Programme Lead, Movement to Work
Keith will share findings from Movement to Work’s latest research, focusing on how AI can support young job seekers, particularly those not in education, employment, or training (NEET).
