The fund will invest in projects which aim to support learners in key areas including skill development, wellbeing and resilience and adaptability while helping FE colleges work together.


Supporting creative solutions is at the heart of the fund; encouraging colleges to explore new ways of working and continuing to ensure Wales is a place where people of all ages receive a high\-quality education. Colleges have already implemented successful initiatives like Junior Apprenticeships, Employment Bureaus and Accelerated Learning programmes, the fund will look to expand on these already successful programmes.


Alongside this, the Minister has also allocated further funding to FE colleges to help with rising costs. Over £2\.5 million will be used to support learners undertaking vocational programmes by helping colleges to cover the increased costs of consumable materials like wood and steel, critical to vocational courses such as construction.


The Financial Contingency Fund will also receive a boost of £1\.345 million. The fund supports learners who are experiencing financial hardship, enabling them to continue to access a college education. Learners who might be entitled to this support should get in touch with their college.


Minister for Education and Welsh Language, Jeremy Miles, said:



> The cost\-of\-living crisis represents significant challenge to colleges, so we need to look at new ways of working. The Innovation Fund will allow FE providers to consider creative new ways of working and collaborating with others in the sector to benefit learners.
> 
> 
> I look forward to seeing new concepts and I know providers will rise to the challenge.
> 
> 
> Money should never be a barrier to accessing education, which is why I am also pleased to increase funding to the Financial Contingency Fund, which will now be able to assist more learners. This can help with costs like meals, childcare and travel to make sure learners facing low income can keep learning.

Bydd y gronfa yn buddsoddi mewn prosiectau i gefnogi dysgwyr mewn meysydd allweddol, gan gynnwys datblygu sgiliau, lles, gwytnwch a’r gallu i addasu, gan helpu colegau addysg bellach i gydweithio ar yr un pryd.


Mae cefnogi creadigrwydd yn ganolog i’r gronfa, gan annog colegau i ymchwilio i ffyrdd newydd o weithio a pharhau i sicrhau bod Cymru yn lle y mae pobl o bob oed yn cael addysg o ansawdd. Mae colegau eisoes wedi gweithredu mentrau llwyddiannus fel Prentisiaethau Iau, Biwroau Cyflogaeth a rhaglenni Dysgu Carlam; bwriad y gronfa yw ehangu ar y rhaglenni hyn sydd eisoes yn llwyddiannus.


Ochr yn ochr â hyn, mae’r Gweinidog hefyd wedi dyrannu cyllid pellach i golegau addysg bellach i helpu gyda chostau cynyddol. Caiff dros £2\.5 miliwn ei ddefnyddio i gefnogi dysgwyr sy’n dilyn rhaglenni galwedigaethol drwy helpu colegau i dalu costau uwch deunyddiau traul fel coed a dur, sy’n hanfodol i gyrsiau galwedigaethol megis adeiladu.


Bydd y Gronfa Ariannol Wrth Gefn hefyd yn cael hwb o £1\.345 miliwn. Mae’r gronfa yn cefnogi dysgwyr sy’n profi caledi ariannol, gan eu galluogi i allu manteisio ar addysg coleg. Dylai dysgwyr a allai fod yn gymwys cysylltu â'u coleg.


Dywedodd Gweinidog y Gymraeg ac Addysg, Jeremy Miles:



> Mae’r argyfwng costau byw yn her sylweddol i golegau, felly mae angen inni edrych ar ffyrdd newydd o weithio. Bydd y Gronfa Arloesi yn caniatáu i ddarparwyr addysg bellach ystyried ffyrdd newydd creadigol o weithio a chydweithio ag eraill yn y sector er budd dysgwyr.
> 
> 
> Dw i’n edrych ymlaen at weld cysyniadau newydd, a dw i’n gwybod y bydd darparwyr yn ymateb i’r her.
> 
> 
> Ddylai costau byw fyth rwystro pobl rhag cael addysg felly mae’n bleser gen i gynnyddu’r cyllid i’r Gronfa Ariannol Wrth Gefn, a fydd yn gallu helpu mwy o ddysgwyr. Mae hyn yn gallu helpu gyda chostau fel prydau bwyd, gofal plant a theithio i sicrhau bod dysgwyr gyda incwm isel yn gallu parhau i ddysgu.
