Mae prosiect Cynnydd, sy'n caei ei arwain gan Gyngor Sir Penfro, ac sydd hefyd ar waith ar draws Ceredigion, Sir Gaerfyrddin, Abertawe a Chastell\-nedd Port Talbot, wedi cael £11\.5m yn ychwanegol gan Gronfa Gymdeithasol Ewrop.


Mae'r prosiect yn gweithio gyda Gyrfa Cymru, Colegau AB a chwmnïau'r sector preifat a'r trydydd sector, i helpu pobl ifanc i mewn i waith trwy gyfleoedd hyfforddiant a phrofiad gwaith, tra'n cynnig mentora, coetsio a chwnsela un\-i\-un i wella sgiliau bywyd a hunan\-barch.


Heddiw, cyhoeddodd Jeremy Miles y bydd Cynnydd, a lansiwyd ym mis Medi 2016, bellach yn rhedeg tan fis Rhagfyr 2022 a hynny oherwydd y cyllid ychwanegol gan yr UE. Mae hyn yn golygu y bydd  3,200 o bobl ifanc yn elwa ar y cymorth a'r cyfleoedd sy'n cael eu creu gan y prosiect dros y tair blynedd nesaf, a 7,500 i gyd.


Dywedodd Jeremy Miles:



> “Rydyn ni eisoes wedi gweld llwyddiant Cynnydd yn yr ardal wrth roi sgiliau a chymwysterau i bobl ifanc i ennill cyflogaeth yn lleol, gan olygu nad oes rhaid iddynt bellach ymadael â'r ardal. Mae hynny mor bwysig, nid yn unig i'r economi leol, ond hefyd i gynaliadwyedd ein cymunedau, yn enwedig mewn rhannau o gefn gwlad Cymru.
> 
> 
> “Mae Cymru'n dal i elwa'n sylweddol ar gronfeydd yr UE a dw i wrth fy modd y bydd y buddsoddiad hwn yn cefnogi dyfodol cymaint o bobl ifanc yn Ne\-orllewin Cymru.”


Dywedodd y Cynghorydd David Lloyd, Aelod Cabinet Cyngor Sir Penfro dros Addysg, ei fod wrth ei fodd i groesawu’r arian ychwanegol:



> “Rydyn ni’n angerddol am barhau ein gwaith diflino i ddileu nifer y bobl nad ydynt mewn addysg, cyflogaeth na hyfforddiant. Ni ddylai neb adael yr ysgol heb unman i fynd iddo.”


Yn ystod y degawd diwethaf mae prosiectau sydd wedi’u hariannu gan yr Undeb Ewropeaidd wedi creu 45,000 o swyddi newydd a 13,000 o fusnesau newydd ledled Cymru ac ar yr un pryd mae wedi helpu mwy na 85,000 o bobl i gael gwaith.

The Cynnydd project, which is led by Pembrokeshire County Council, and also operates across Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, Swansea and Neath Port Talbot, has been awarded an additional £11\.5m from the European Social Fund.


The project works with Careers Wales, FE colleges and private and third sector companies, to help young people into work via training and work experience opportunities, while providing one\-to\-one mentoring, coaching and counselling to improve life skills and self\-esteem.


Jeremy Miles today announced that Cynnydd, which was launched in September 2016, will now run until December 2022 thanks to the extra EU funding. This means a further 3,200 young people will benefit from support and opportunities created by the project over the next 3 years, and 7,500 in total.


Jeremy Miles said:



> “We’ve already seen how successful Cynnydd has been in working with young people in the area to remove some of the barriers to them completing education and training programmes which can contribute to the reduction in young people in Wales who are NEET. This is so important, not only to the local economy, but to the sustainability of our communities, especially in parts of rural Wales.
> 
> 
> “Wales is still benefiting substantially from EU funds and I’m delighted this investment will be supporting the futures of so many young people in South West Wales.”


Cllr David Lloyd, Pembrokeshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, said he was delighted to welcome the additional funding: 



> “We’re passionate about continuing our hard work towards the elimination of NEETS. No\-one should leave school with nowhere to go.”


In the last decade, EU\-funded projects have created 45,000 new jobs and 13,000 new businesses across Wales, while also helping more than 85,000 people into employment.
