Ers Mai 2019, mae Cymru’n Gweithio, sy’n cael ei ddarparu drwy Yrfa Cymru, wedi rhoi cymorth cyflogadwyedd uniongyrchol i dros 31,500 o oedolion a thros 6,000 o bobl ifanc wrth iddynt chwilio am swyddi.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Trafnidiaeth a Gogledd Cymru, Ken Skates:



> Mae Cymru’n Gweithio eisoes wedi helpu miloedd o bobl, a bydd y cymorth hwnnw’n bwysicach nag erioed wrth inni ymdrin ag effeithiau economaidd y coronafeirws.
> 
> 
> Rydyn ni’n gwybod y bydd y galw am y gwasanaeth hanfodol hwn yn cynyddu’n sydyn yn y tymor byr, gan ei bod yn debygol y bydd lefelau diweithdra’n codi’n sylweddol yn ystod y misoedd nesaf.
> 
> 
> Bydd sicrhau bod unigolion yn cael y cyngor a’r arweiniad priodol i’w helpu i ddatblygu eu sgiliau a dod o hyd i waith yn hanfodol er mwyn adfer ein heconomi.


Mae Cymru’n Gweithio yn cael ei ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Chronfa Gymdeithasol Ewrop, ac mae’n cynnig ffordd symlach o roi cymorth cyflogadwyedd drwy ddarparu man cyswllt sengl ar gyfer pobl lle y gallant gael y cyngor a’r hyfforddiant arbenigol, wedi eu personoli sydd eu hangen i gael a chadw swyddi parhaol o ansawdd uchel.


Mae’r cymorth sydd ar gael yn cynnwys asesiad o’r hyn sy’n rhwystro rhywun rhag cael swydd; cyngor, arweiniad a chyfeirio; chwiliadau swyddi; ysgrifennu CV; yn ogystal â pharatoi ar gyfer cyfweliadau a dod o hyd i leoliadau gwaith.


Yn ystod y cyfnod anodd hwn, mae cynghorwyr Cymru’n Gweithio yn parhau i chwarae eu rôl hanfodol drwy ddulliau rhithwir, gan gynnwys gwerthuso a deall anghenion unigolyn drwy eu cyfleusterau sgwrsio dros y we a’u gwasanaeth ffôn.


Mae’r rhaglen hefyd yn darparu adnoddau pwysig ar gyfer gweithwyr ar ffyrlo, fel cyrsiau ar\-lein yn rhad ac am ddim lle y gall unigolion ddatblygu eu sgiliau.


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog:



> Hoffwn i ddiolch i bob un ohonoch chi sy’n darparu’r gwasanaeth pwysig hwn am bopeth dych chi’n ei wneud i wella rhagolygon unigolion, ac yn y pen draw, eu bywydau.
> 
> 
> Fel llywodraeth, rydyn ni’n benderfynol o weld busnesau Cymru yn ffynnu unwaith eto, gan helpu pobl i gael y cyfleoedd pwysig hynny i gael swyddi a helpu ein heconomi i ffynnu i’r un graddau ag yr oedd cyn y pandemig.
> 
> 
> Bydd gan Gymru’n Gweithio rôl hanfodol i’w chwarae yn y dyfodol, a hoffwn i annog unrhyw un sydd wedi cael ei ddiswyddo neu sy’n chwilio am gymorth a chyngor i gysylltu â’r tîm.


Rhywun sydd wedi elwa ar y gwasanaeth yw Christopher, a fu yn y fyddin am 14 mlynedd, ond nid oedd yn sicr beth i’w wneud nesaf o ran gyrfa.


Diolch i gymorth gan Gymru’n Gweithio, mae wedi llwyddo i gael swydd newydd ac mae bellach yn astudio ar gyfer gradd.


Dywedodd Christopher:



> Roeddwn i wedi bod yn y fyddin am tua 14 mlynedd, ond pan adawais i, doedd dim syniad gen i beth i’w wneud nesaf. Y lluoedd arfog fu fy mywyd.
> 
> 
> Ces i gymorth gwych gan y cynghorydd gyrfaoedd yn ystod y broses ymgeisio, i sicrhau cyllid a hyfforddiant. Gweithion ni ar gynllun gweithredu gyda’n gilydd, a gwnes i ymchwil i swyddi y gallwn i wneud cais amdanyn nhw ar ôl hyfforddi.
> 
> 
> Heblaw am Gymru’n Gweithio, dw i ddim yn credu byddwn i yn fy sefyllfa bresennol. Dw i wedi profi ymdeimlad gwych o gyflawni, ac mae hynny wedi fy annog i astudio ar gyfer gradd.


Dywedodd Prif Weithredwr Gyrfa Cymru, Nikki Lawrence:



> Mae blwyddyn gyntaf Cymru’n Gweithio wedi bod yn llwyddiannus dros ben, gyda'n cynghorwyr arbenigol yn darparu cymorth ar gyfer dros 37,000 o bobl ledled Cymru yn ystod y cyfnod hwn.
> 
> 
> Wrth inni feddwl am y dyfodol yn y dyddiau heriol hyn, hoffwn i roi sicrwydd i bobl fod ein cynghorwyr gyrfaoedd ar gael dros y ffôn, drwy ein cyfleuster sgwrsio dros y we a thrwy ein sianeli yn y cyfryngau cymdeithasol, er mwyn parhau i roi’r cymorth a’r arweiniad sydd eu hangen ar bobl i gael swydd.

Since May 2019, Working Wales, which is delivered through Careers Wales, has directly assisted more than 31,500 adults and over 6,000 young people who are looking for employability support.

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


> Working Wales has already helped thousands of people and that support will be more important than ever as we deal with the economic impact of coronavirus.
> 
> We know demand for this vital service is going to rise dramatically in the short term as unemployment levels are likely to rise quite significantly over the coming months.
> 
> Ensuring individuals have the appropriate advice and guidance to help develop their skills and find a job is going to be crucial in getting our economy up and running again.

Working Wales, which is funded by Welsh Government and the European Social Fund, offers a simpler approach to employability support by providing people with a single point of contact through which they can access personalised, expert advice and training required to find and maintain good, long\-term employment.

Support available includes an assessment of a person’s barriers to employment, advice, guidance and signposting, job searches, CV writing as well as interview preparation and finding work placements.

During this difficult period, Working Wales advisers continue to play a vital virtual role in evaluating and understanding an individual’s needs including through their web chat facilities and telephone service.

The programme is also providing important resources for furloughed workers such as free online courses where individuals can develop their skills.

The Minister added:


> I want to thank each and every person delivering this important service for everything that they do to improve people’s outlook and indeed their lives.
> 
> As a government, we are absolutely determined to see Welsh businesses thrive once again, support people to gain important employment opportunities and help our economy prosper to pre\-pandemic levels.
> 
> Working Wales has a crucial role to play going forward and I encourage anyone who has been made redundant or looking for support and advice to get in touch with the team.

One person to benefit from the service is Christopher, who had been in the army for 14 years, but was not sure on his next career path.

Thanks to support from Working Wales, he has now managed to secure new employment and is studying towards a degree.

Christopher said:


> I’d been serving in the army for around 14 years but when I left, I felt at a loss about what to do next. The forces had been my life.
> 
> The careers adviser was great in supporting me through the application process to secure funding and training. We worked together on an action plan and I’d researched jobs that I could apply for after training.
> 
> If it wasn’t for Working Wales, I don't think I would be in the position I am in now. The sense of achievement I have experienced is amazing and has encouraged me to study for a degree.

Careers Wales chief executive, Nikki Lawrence said:


> The first year of Working Wales has been a huge success, with our expert advisers providing support to more than 37,000 people across Wales in the first 12 months.
> 
> As we look ahead in these challenging times, I would like to assure people that our careers advisers are available over the phone, via our web chat facility and through social media channels, so we can continue to provide our customers with the support and guidance they need to meet their employment needs.
