Wrth i’r Wythnos Genedlaethol Prentisiaethau fynd rhagddi, mae Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething yn annog mwy o gwmnïau i ystyried sut y gall prentis eu helpu i hybu eu busnesau.


Mae’r Wythnos Genedlaethol hon, a fydd yn cael ei chynnal rhwng 6\-12 Chwefror 2023, yn gyfle blynyddol dros wythnos i ddathlu prentisiaethau a’u gwerth i gyflogwyr a dysgwyr ledled Cymru.


Mae prentisiaethau'n rhan hanfodol o Warant i Bobl Ifanc Llywodraeth Cymru, sy'n cynnig cymorth i bobl ifanc dan 25 oed yng Nghymru i gael lle mewn addysg neu hyfforddiant, dod o hyd i swydd neu fynd yn hunangyflogedig.


Ar gyfer blwyddyn contract 2022/23 mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo £148\.6 miliwn i ddarparu prentisiaethau, gyda'r nod o gyrraedd 125,000 o brentisiaethau pob oed yn 2026/27\.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru, mewn partneriaeth â Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, Achieve More Training ac Ap\-prentis, yn helpu clybiau chwaraeon cymunedol yn y Gogledd i recriwtio a hyfforddi person ifanc lleol mewn rôl hyfforddwr chwaraeon cymunedol, fel rhan o raglen rhannu prentisiaeth.


Mae cyflwyno'r model rhannu prentisiaeth newydd yn y Gogledd yn cynnwys cynllun Chwaraeon Cymunedol sy'n bwriadu ysgogi mwy o blant a phobl ifanc i gymryd rhan mewn chwaraeon drwy eu clybiau chwaraeon lleol.


Ar ôl iddo ailagor ddiwedd 2022, mae Clwb Hoci Iâ Dreigiau Glannau Dyfrdwy ac Aura Cymru wedi rhoi cyfle o brentisiaeth i ddyn ifanc ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol, sy'n helpu i gynyddu nifer y bobl sy'n cymryd rhan yn lleol mewn hoci iâ a sglefrio iâ.


Mae Michael Speare wrth ei fodd yn chwarae hoci iâ ac mae’n ymweld ag ysgolion yn yr ardal fel llysgennad i’r gamp.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> Mae wedi bod yn bleser mawr cwrdd â Michael a dysgu mwy am ei waith yng Nghlwb Hoci Iâ Dreigiau Glannau Dyfrdwy. Mae'n llysgennad perffaith i'r gamp.
> 
> 
> "Rwy'n falch iawn bod ein cynllun rhannu prentisiaeth yn darparu cyfleoedd newydd i bobl ifanc sydd ddim yn gallu dod o hyd i waith parhaol i ddysgu sgiliau newydd yn y gweithle, gan eu helpu i ennill cymwysterau newydd a fydd yn eu galluogi i sicrhau a chadw swyddi parhaol llawn amser.
> 
> 
> “Ar ddechrau’r Wythnos Prentisiaethau, rydw i am annog pobl a chyflogwyr ar draws Cymru i weld sut mae prentisiaethau yn gallu gwneud cyfraniad go iawn i’w dyfodol.
> 
> 
> “Profwyd bod prentisiaethau o ansawdd ar gyfer pobl o bob oed yn arwain at enillion uwch mewn gyrfaoedd gwell. Maent yn gallu helpu i ddiogelu, ysgogi ac arallgyfeirio gweithlu – gan gynnig cyfle i bobl feithrin sgiliau galwedigaethol o ansawdd uchel. Maent hefyd yn hanfodol i'n gweledigaeth uchelgeisiol ar gyfer Cymru lle nad oes neb yn cael ei ddal yn ôl."


Dywedodd Mike Welch, Prif Weithredwr Aura Wales:



> Mae rôl Michael fel prentis Clwb, yn gweithio dan fentoriaeth James Parsons, Prif Hyfforddwr Hoci Iâ Iau Aura, wedi ein galluogi i ail\-ymgysylltu â phobl ifanc ac i ddenu chwaraewyr newydd i'r Clwb. Cyflawnwyd hyn ar draws amrywiaeth o leoliadau gwahanol megis sesiynau blasu ysgolion, hyfforddi oddi ar yr iâ a rhaglen Learn To Skate Aura.
> 
> 
> "Mae'r hyn oedd yn ddyfodol eithaf llwm i'r Clwb Hoci Iâ Iau oherwydd y pandemig bellach yn edrych yn bositif iawn. Gallwn weld twf a dilyniant i'r Clwb ac mae Michael yn chwarae rhan bwysig iawn wrth gefnogi hyn. Ni fyddai lefel y twf yr ydym wedi’i brofi wedi bod yn bosibl heb y cynllun prentisiaethau a Chyflawni Mwy o Hyfforddiant."


Dywedodd Jordan Hadaway, Cydlynydd Prentis a Rennir Achieve More Training:



> Rydw i wir yn credu y bydd y cynllun prentisiaeth ar y cyd yma rhwng y clybiau chwaraeon a ninnau yn Cyflawni Mwy o Hyfforddiant yn helpu'r clybiau i allu mynd yr ail filltir ac yn galluogi nhw i gyflawni a chael effaith yn y cymunedau yn fwy nag y maent wedi ei wneud erioed o’r blaen."


Bydd y cyllid ychwanegol yn cael ei ddefnyddio i gynnal ffocws ar flaenoriaethau o ran sgiliau technegol, anghenion yr economi sylfaenol a'r sectorau galw uchel fel Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol a Gofal Plant, ac i gyfrannu at ein huchelgeisiau sero net.


Mae prentisiaethau o’r fath wedi cael eu darparu dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf, yn y sectorau Peirianneg ac Adeiladu yn ardal Tasglu'r Cymoedd yn ne Cymru i ddechrau. Cafodd y rhaglen ei hailddatblygu yn 2022 a'i hehangu ar draws holl ranbarthau Cymru a sectorau eraill gan gynnwys y diwydiannau creadigol a'r theatr, a chwaraeon a hamdden.


Y carfanau targed yw sectorau sydd â nifer isel o bobl yn manteisio ar brentisiaethau, busnesau bach a chanolig sy'n newydd i brentisiaethau, pobl ifanc difreintiedig a grwpiau sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol. 


Mae cynllun rhannu prentisiaeth a gynorthwyir hefyd wedi’i gyflwyno i alluogi pobl anabl ag anghenion dysgu a chyflogaeth cymhleth yn benodol i gael mynediad at brentisiaeth.

As the annual National Apprenticeship Week gets underway, Economy Minister Vaughan Gething is encouraging more firms to consider how an apprentice can help them boost their businesses.


Taking place between 6\-12 February 2023, National Apprenticeship Week is an annual week\-long celebration of apprenticeships and the value they bring to employers and learners across Wales.


Apprenticeships are a vital part of the Welsh Government’s Young Person’s Guarantee, which provides under 25s in Wales with the offer of support to gain a place in education or training, find a job or become self\-employed.


For the 2022/23 contract year Welsh Government has committed £148\.6m to apprenticeship delivery, with the goal of reaching 125,000 all\-age apprenticeships in 2026/27\.


The Welsh Government, in partnership with Grwp Llandrillo Menai, Achieve More Training, Ap\-prentis, is providing support for community sport clubs in north Wales to recruit and train a local young person in the role of a community sport coach, as part of a shared apprenticeship programme.


The rollout of the new shared apprenticeship model in north Wales includes a scheme in Community Sports that plans to get more children and young people participating in sport through their local sports clubs.


Following its reopening at the end of 2022, the Deeside Dragons Ice Hockey Club and Aura Wales has provided a shared apprenticeship opportunity for a young man with additional learning needs, who is helping to increase local participation in ice hockey and ice skating.


Michael Speare is very passionate about playing ice hockey and is visiting schools in the area as an ambassador for the sport.


Economy Minister, Vaughan Gething, said:



> It’s been a real pleasure to meet Michael and to learn more about his work at Deeside Dragons Ice Hockey Club. He is the perfect ambassador for the sport.
> 
> 
> “I’m delighted our shared apprenticeship scheme is providing new opportunities for young people who cannot find permanent employment to learn new skills in the workplace, helping them gain new qualifications that will enable them to secure and sustain full\-time permanent jobs.
> 
> 
> “At the beginning of Apprenticeship Week, I want to encourage people and employers across Wales to see how apprenticeships can make a real contribution to their futures.
> 
> 
> “Quality all\-age apprenticeships are proven to unlock higher earnings in better careers. They can help futureproof, motivate and diversify a workforce – offering people the chance to gain high\-quality vocational skills. They are also crucial to our ambitious vision for a Wales where no one is held back.”


Mike Welch, Chief Executive of Aura Wales, said:



> Michael’s role as a Club apprentice, working under the mentorship of James Parsons, Aura’s Junior Ice Hockey Head Coach, has enabled us to both re\-engage with young people and to attract new players to the Club. This has been achieved across a variety of different settings such as school taster sessions, off\-ice coaching and Aura’s Learn To Skate programme.
> 
> 
> “What was a pretty bleak future for the Junior Ice Hockey Club due to the pandemic is now looking really positive. We can see growth and progression to the Club and Michael is playing a really important role in supporting this. The level of growth we have experienced would not have been possible without the apprenticeship scheme and Achieve More Training.”


Jordan Hadaway, Shared Apprentice Co\-ordinator Achieve More Training, said:



> I really believe that this shared apprenticeship scheme between the sports clubs and ourselves at Achieve More Training will help the clubs be able to go that extra mile and let them deliver and make an impact in the communities more than they have ever been able to.”


The additional funding will be used to maintain a focus on technical skill priorities, the needs of the foundational economy and high demand sectors such as Health \& Social Care and Childcare and to contribute towards our net zero ambitions.


Shared apprenticeships have been delivered over the last five years, initially in Engineering and Construction sectors in the Valleys Taskforce area in south Wales. The programme was redeveloped in 2022 and expanded across all regions of Wales and other sectors including the creative industries and theatre, and sport and leisure.


The target cohorts for shared apprenticeships are sectors with low take\-up of apprenticeships, SMEs new to apprenticeships, disadvantaged young people and underrepresented groups.  


A supported shared apprenticeship has been introduced to specifically enable disabled people with complex learning and employment needs to access an apprenticeship.
