The newly launched, informal e\-learning provision is aimed at helping furloughed workers to improve their  knowledge levels across a broad range of areas, while supporting their  mental wellbeing and helping them to prepare for the future.


Budding learners can visit the Working Wales website where they will be signposted to a range of free online resources that will help them to refresh their skill sets.


Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales, Ken Skates, said:



> “This is a hugely challenging and difficult  time for all of us. We want to support those workers who have been furloughed and provide them with easy to access opportunities to improve their skills, maintain their mental health, and potentially think about future careers options.
> 
> 
> “Workers taking this time to acquire new skills and knowledge will also be hugely helpful as we all work to ensure the Welsh economy is in the best possible position to bounce back from this pandemic.
> 
> 
> “Through this initiative we are providing a  wide range of free online learning resources, many of which are bilingual, from trusted providers like The Open University, and I strongly encourage our furloughed workface to take a look at what is on offer.”


Nikki Lawrence, chief executive of Careers Wales, said:



> "We know these are uncertain times for many people who have been placed on furlough leave and our Working Wales service is here to help.
> 
> 
> "By raising awareness of a range of informal e\-learning that people can complete online, we can support them to enhance their existing skills, learn something new and support their wellbeing."


Louise Casella, director of The Open University in Wales said:



> “Staying at home for this extended period is challenging for most of us, but it is causing particular uncertainty for staff who have been placed on furlough leave. During this difficult time, there is an opportunity for people to learn something new at home providing some much\-needed stimulation and a boost to well\-being.

Users can register whenever they choose and learn at their own pace, balancing the course with other responsibilities.

Nod y ddarpariaeth e\-ddysgu anffurfiol sydd wedi’i lansio o’r newydd yw helpu gweithwyr ar ffyrlo i wella eu lefelau gwybodaeth mewn amrywiaeth eang o feysydd, gan gefnogi lles eu meddwl a’u helpu i baratoi ar gyfer y dyfodol.

Dywedodd Louise Casella, cyfarwyddwr y Brifysgol Agored yng Nghymru:
