Bu'r Gweinidog mewn digwyddiad arbennig yn Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan, Glynebwy, gan gyfarfod a rhai o'r bobl a gafodd gymorth gan y rhaglen, a'u mentoriaid. Mae Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan wedi bod yn rhan bwysig o’r prosiect yn ardaloedd Caerffili a Blaenau Gwent, gan ddarparu dros 100 o gyfleoedd i bobl mewn amryw leoliadau. 

 Roedd rhaglen Esgyn yn gweithredu mewn naw ardal yng Nghymru, gan gynnig cymorth un\-i\-un penodol i bobl o aelwydydd lle nad oedd unrhyw un wedi gweithio ers o leiaf chwe mis; pobl sy’n wynebu rhwystrau wrth geisio dod o hyd i waith. Bu mentoriaid yn cydweithio â phobl i ddysgu pam nad ydynt yn gweithio ac i‘w helpu i oresgyn y problemau hyn. Yna, byddai’r mentoriaid yn aros mewn cysylltiad â'r unigolion dan sylw am hyd at 12 mis ar ôl iddyn nhw ddechrau eu swydd neu hyfforddiant newydd, gan gynnig cefnogaeth barhaus iddyn nhw. 

 Mae'r rhaglen wedi cyrraedd ei tharged ddeufis yn gynnar, ac erbyn i'r cynllun ddod i ben ym mis Rhagfyr 2017, roedd wedi darparu 5,174 o gyfleoedd gwaith a hyfforddiant ac wedi helpu 1,099 i ddod o hyd i waith. 

 Er bod Esgyn wedi dod i ben bellach, bydd yr hyn a ddysgwyd yn cael ei ddefnyddio yn y Rhaglen Cymunedau am Waith a Mwy, o fis Ebrill 2018 ymlaen. Dyma raglen sydd werth £12m y flwyddyn a fydd yn mentora a chefnogi pobl sydd â ffordd bell i fynd er mwyn cyrraedd y farchnad swyddi. 

 Dywedodd y Gweinidog: 

 
> “Mae'n bleser cael dathlu llwyddiant Esgyn a chael cyfarfod â rhai o'r bobl a gafodd gefnogaeth gan y rhaglen. Rwy'n falch bod rhai wedi cael gwaith gyda Bwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan a bod eraill ar fin gwneud yr un fath. 
> 
>  “Rwy wrth fy modd bod Esgyn wedi gwneud yn well na'r targed, sef helpu 5000 o bobl i gael swyddi a hyfforddiant. Rwy wedi gweld heddiw sut y mae'r rhaglen wedi cael effaith gadarnhaol tu hwnt ar fywydau pobl \- gan roi'r hyder, y sgiliau, y profiad a'r wybodaeth sydd eu hangen arnynt i lwyddo. 
> 
>  “Dyma enghraifft wych o sut rydym yn cydweithio ar draws adrannau'r Llywodraeth a chyda nifer o sefydliadau partner i helpu pobl gaffael sgiliau, neu ddod o hyd i hyfforddiant a gwaith. Hoffwn ddiolch i'n partneriaid ar Fwrdd Iechyd Prifysgol Aneurin Bevan am eu cyfraniad hanfodol.”

The Minister attended a special event at Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan in Ebbw Vale, where she met some of those helped by the programme and their mentors. Aneurin Bevan University Health Board has been a major collaborator on the project in the Blaenau Gwent and Caerphilly areas and, across its various sites, has provided around 100 opportunities to people on the programme. 

 Delivered across nine areas in Wales, Lift provided dedicated one\-to\-one support to people from households where nobody has worked for at least six months who face employment barriers. Mentors worked with people to identify reasons why they are not in work and to provide support to help overcome those issues. Mentors remain in contact with participants for up to twelve months after they start in their new job or training placement to offer ongoing support. 

 The programme met its target two months early and by the end of the scheme in December 2017 had provided 5,174 training and employment opportunities, including helping 1,099 into work. 

 While the programme has come to an end, the learning from it will be taken forward in to Communities for Work Plus, a £12m per annum programme which will provide intensive mentoring and support to those furthest from the jobs market from April 2018\. 

 The Minister said: 

 
> “It has been a pleasure to celebrate the success of Lift and to meet some of the people supported by the programme. It is particularly pleasing that some have moved on into employment with Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and that others are about to do the same. 
> 
>  “I am delighted that Lift has exceeded its target of supporting 5,000 people into job and training opportunities. As I have seen today, the programme has had an incredibly positive impact on people’s lives, giving them the confidence, skills, experience and information they need to succeed. 
> 
>  “This is an excellent example of how we are working across Welsh Government departments and with many partner organisations to support people to gain skills, training and employment. I want to thank our partners in the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board for their vital contribution.”
