Roedd y Gweinidog yn nodi dechrau Wythnos Addysg Oedolion drwy ymweld â Kids Fun yn Ystrad Mynach lle'r oedd sefydliad Working Links yn cynnal diwrnod agored. Mae Working Links yn helpu pobl sydd wedi'u hallgáu'n gymdeithasol i elwa i'r eithaf ar eu potensial. 

 Roedd y ganolfan chwarae meddal ar agor i deuluoedd am ddim fel bod rhieni'n gallu cwrdd â chyflogwyr lleol tra bod ein plant yn chwarae, a chael cyngor ar yr opsiynau ar gyfer dychwelyd i'r gwaith a sut i fanteisio ar gyfleoedd dysgu. 

 Wythnos Addysg Oedolion yw gwyl addysg flynyddol fwyaf y Deyrnas Unedig. Caiff ei hariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Chronfa Gymdeithasol Ewrop a'i threfnu gan Sefydliad Dysgu a Gwaith Cymru. Ei nod yw ysbrydoli miloedd o oedolion bob blwyddyn i ganfod sut all dysgu newid eu bywydau \- pobl fel Aqsa Ahmed\-Hussein. 

 Cytunodd Aqsa i briodas drefnedig pan oedd yn 18 oed, ar adeg lle nad oedd addysg yn flaenoriaeth iddi. Erbyn cyrraedd 28 oed, roedd ganddi bedwar o blant ac yn ystyried ei hun yn wraig a mam 'yn unig'. Ond pan wnaeth plentyn ieuengaf Aqsa ddechrau'r ysgol, roedd hi'n gwybod bod angen iddi ddiweddaru eu sgiliau er mwyn cefnogi ei theulu. 

 Cwblhaodd sawl cwrs gan gynnwys sgiliau cyfrifiadurol, seicoleg plant, sgiliau cwnsela, a chwrs cynorthwyydd addysgu. Gwnaeth y cyrsiau hyn eu galluogi i ddatblygu'r sgiliau yr oedd arni eu hangen i gael swydd a oedd yn ei gwneud yn werth chweil talu am ofal plant. Mae Aqsa yn 41 erbyn hyn ac yn gweithio'n llawn amser fel cynorthwyydd addysgu mewn ysgol gynradd, ac mae'n ystyried hyfforddiant pellach i ddod yn athrawes. 

 Dywedodd y Gweinidog: 

 
> "Roedd yn bleser ymweld â Kids Fun heddiw i weld sut mae Working Links yn helpu pobl yn yr ardal i ddysgu am y cyfleoedd sydd ar gael iddynt ac yn eu hannog i ddysgu sgiliau newydd. 
> 
>  "Rydym wedi ymrwymo i wella ffyniant pobl yng Nghymru, ac mae'r Cynllun Cyflogaeth a lansiais yn gynharach eleni'n amlinellu'n glir sut rydym yn bwriadu darparu dull unigoledig o helpu pobl i fynd i'r afael â'r rhwystrau sy'n eu hatal rhag gweithio. 
> 
>  "I nifer o bobl, diffyg sgiliau neu gymwysterau yw'r rhwystr. Yn 2017, dywedodd 21% o'r rheini a oedd yn economaidd anweithgar nad oedd ganddynt unrhyw gymwysterau, o'i gymharu â 5% yn unig o'r rheini a oedd mewn cyflogaeth. Dyma pam rwyf wedi ymrwymo i helpu pobl i wella eu sgiliau drwy addysg oedolion gan y bydd yn gwella eu gobeithion o gael cyflogaeth deg a sicr sy'n rhoi boddhad iddynt. 
> 
>  "Mae ymgymryd â dysgu newydd fel oedolyn nid yn unig yn ffordd dda o wella cyflogadwyedd, ond mae hefyd yn gyfle gwych i gwrdd â phobl newydd a gwneud ffrindiau newydd ac yn hybu hunan\-barch a hyder.

 Dywedodd David Hagendyk, Cyfarwyddwr Sefydliad Dysgu a Gwaith Cymru: 

 
> "Gyda chymdeithas sy'n heneiddio, byd gwaith sy'n newid, a datblygiadau cyflym o ran y defnydd o awtomatiaeth a deallusrwydd artiffisial, mae'n bwysicach nag erioed rhoi cyfle i oedolion ddysgu drwy gydol eu hoes. Mae Wythnos Addysg Oedolion yn rhoi cyfle i filoedd o bobl ar draws Cymru roi cynnig ar ddysgu rhywbeth newydd a datblygu eu sgiliau."

The Minister was marking the start of Adult Learners’ Week by visiting Kids Fun in Ystrad Mynach where Working Links, an organisation that helps socially excluded people maximise their potential, were holding an open day. 

 The soft play centre was open to families free of charge so that parents could meet local employers and receive advice on options for returning to work and accessing learning opportunities, all while their children were busy playing. 

 Funded by the Welsh Government and the European Social Fund and organised by the Learning \& Work Institute Wales, Adult Learners’ Week is the UK’s largest annual festival of learning. It aims to inspire thousands of adults each year to discover how learning can change their lives \- people like Aqsa Ahmed\-Hussein. 

 Asqa agreed to an arranged marriage at the age of 18, when education was the furthest thing from her mind. By the age of 28 she had four children saw herself as ‘just’ a wife and mum, but when Aqsa’s fourth child was due to start school she knew she needed to update her skills to support her family. 

 She completed several courses including computer skills, child psychology, counselling skills and a teaching assistant course, all of which gave her the skills she needed to find a job that made paying for childcare worthwhile. Now 41, Aqsa works full\-time as a one\-to\-one classroom assistant at a primary school and is considering further training to become a teacher. 

 The Minister said: 

 
> “I was very pleased to visit Kids Fun today and to see how Working Links are helping people in the area learn about the opportunities that are available to them and encouraging people to learn new skills. 
> 
>  “We are committed to improving the prosperity of the people of Wales and the Employment Plan I launched earlier this year sets out clearly how we intend to provide an individualised approach to help people tackle the barriers that are preventing them from working. 
> 
>  “For many, the barrier is a lack of skills or qualifications. In 2017, 21% per cent of those who were economically inactive reported having no qualifications, compared to just 5% of those in employment. This is why I am committed to helping people to improve their skills through adult learning as it will improve their chances are of getting fair, secure and rewarding employment. 
> 
>  “Undertaking new learning as an adult is a not only a great way to improve employability but is also a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, make new friends as well as boosting self\-esteem and confidence.”

 The Learning and Work Institute Director for Wales David Hagendyk said: 

 
> “Faced with an ageing society, a changing world of work, and the rapid deployment of automation and artificial intelligence, giving adults the opportunity to learn throughout their lives is more important than ever. Adult Learners' Week gives thousands of people across Wales the chance to have a go at learning something new and to develop their skills.”
