Bydd ymgyrch newydd, a lansiwyd heddiw drwy Gymru’n Gweithio, yn hyrwyddo’r cymorth wedi’i deilwra sydd ar gael i bobl sydd wedi colli eu swyddi neu sydd mewn perygl o golli eu swyddi, ac yn eu helpu i chwilio am gyfleoedd newydd.


Mae pandemig y coronafeirws wedi arwain at heriau a phwysau enfawr ar gyfer busnesau a gweithwyr, nid yn unig yng Nghymru ond ledled y byd.


Ym mis Awst, cyhoeddodd Llywodraeth Cymru becyn swyddi a sgiliau gwerth £40 miliwn. Bydd y pecyn hwn yn helpu pawb y mae angen cymorth arnyn nhw i ddod o hyd i swydd, addysg neu hyfforddiant, neu i ddechrau eu busnes eu hunain yn yr adeg heriol hon. Bydd hyn yn allweddol wrth helpu Cymru i adfer o’r pandemig ac yn sicrhau nad oes neb yn cael ei esgeuluso.


Mae Cymru’n Gweithio’n cael ei ariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Chronfa Gymdeithasol Ewrop, ac yn cael ei weithredu gan Yrfa Cymru. Mae’r gwasanaeth yn cynnig amrediad o gymorth – o ddatblygu a diweddaru sgiliau a magu hyder, i helpu gyda phroblemau iechyd neu ofal plant. Gall y cymorth hwn gael ei deilwra i anghenion unigolion.


Mae Jonathan Rew\-Dixon, 48, o Ynys Môn, yn un o’r llawer o bobl sydd eisoes wedi elwa ar gymorth gan Gymru’n Gweithio. Derbyniodd gymorth a chyngor gan Gymru’n Gweithio ynghynt eleni ar ôl cael ei ddiswyddo yn fuan ar ôl i’r coronafeirws ddod i’r amlwg yn y DU ym mis Mawrth.


Ar ôl gweithio i gwmni yswiriant am 25 mlynedd, roedd Jonathan am gael newid – ond roedd yn teimlo bod angen rhagor o sgiliau trosglwyddadwy arno. Helpodd Cymru’n Gweithio fe i gael yr hyfforddiant oedd ei angen arno ym maes cydymffurfiaeth.   


Dywedodd Jonathan:



> “Caeodd y cwmni’r swyddfa ro’n i’n gweithio ynddi ym mis Mawrth. Ro’n i’n disgwyl cael fy niswyddo, ac roeddwn i wedi cael sgyrsiau cadarnhaol â chwmnïau eraill. Ond daeth hynny i gyd i ben pan ddechreuodd y cyfnod clo ledled y DU. Nid oedd yr un o’r cwmnïau roeddwn i wedi siarad â nhw yn gallu ymrwymo i gyflogi aelod newydd o staff.

> “Roedd colli fy swydd mewn cyfnod a oedd eisoes yn ansicr yn destun pryder. Roedd fy ngwraig yn gefnogol iawn ac yn cydymdeimlo â fy sefyllfa. Ond doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod am faint y byddai’r sefyllfa yn para, ac roeddwn i’n poeni y byddai fy oedran yn fy rhwystro i rhag cael swydd. Ces i fy hun yn crwydro o gwmpas y tŷ ac yn poeni ynghylch faint y byddwn i’n ddi\-waith. 
> 
> 
> “Ond ar ôl gweithio i gwmnïau yswiriant ers 25 mlynedd, gwelais i’r diswyddiad fel cyfle i roi cynnig ar rywbeth ychydig yn wahanol. Felly, cysylltais â Chymru’n Gweithio i drafod rhagor o opsiynau. Roeddwn i wedi gwneud rhywfaint o reoli prosiectau yn fy rôl flaenorol, ac ro’n i’n meddwl efallai y gallwn i fynd ar y trywydd hwnnw. Ond ro’n i’n poeni na fyddai gen i’r sgiliau neu’r cymwysterau cywir i gael swydd.
> 
> 
> “Roedd fy nghynghorydd yn Nghymru’n Gweithio’n wych. Gwnaeth hi drafod fy holl opsiynau, helpu gyda’r gwaith papur a threfnu imi gofrestru ar gyfer pedair cwrs hyfforddiant ar\-lein ar reoli prosiectau, a gafodd eu cynnal rhwng mis Mai a mis Awst, i fireinio fy sgiliau. Roedd y cyrsiau’n wych ac roedd y cyfan yn rhad ac am ddim – roedd hynny’n helpu’n fawr iawn.


O ganlyniad i gwblhau’r hyfforddiant roedd gan Jonathan yr hyder i wneud ceisiadau am amrediad ehangach o swydd – a chynigiwyd ei swydd newydd ym maes cydymffurfiaeth iddo ym mis Gorffennaf.


Ychwanegodd Jonathan:



> “Dw i’n dwlu ar fy swydd newydd. Dw i’n mwynhau’r her a gweld sut mae pethau’n cael eu gwneud o bersbectif arall. Mae’n ddwys iawn ond yn ddiddorol. Y gwir yw fy mod yn ei mwynhau’n fwy na fy hen swydd. Mae’r ffaith imi gael swydd mor gyflym yn dangos bod cwmnïau’n parhau i chwilio am staff – ac os oes gennych chi’r sgiliau cywir rydych mewn sefyllfa dda i gael un o’r swyddi hynny.
> 
> 
> “Dywedodd yr unigolyn a roddodd y swydd imi fod fy nghymwysterau yn un o’r rhesymau imi gael y swydd. Os ydych chi’n poeni am eich swydd, neu wedi cael eich diswyddo yn ystod y pandemig, dw i’n argymell yn gryf iawn eich bod yn cysylltu â Chymru’n Gweithio.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Trafnidiaeth a Gogledd Cymru, Ken Skates:



> “Er bod y lefel y diweithdra yng Nghymru yn is na’r lefel gyffredinol ar gyfer y DU, mae’n amlwg bod y pandemig yn cael effaith.
> 
> 
> “Hyd yn hyn mae ein Cronfa Cadernid Economaidd wedi diogelu dros 100,000 o swyddi ac wedi rhoi cymorth ariannol gwerth bron £300 miliwn i 13,000 o fusnesau. Ond rydyn ni’n byw mewn cyfnod hynod anodd, ac mae rhai busnesau bellach yn gorfod gwneud penderfyniadau anodd – ac mae’r penderfyniadau hynny’n cael effaith ar eu gweithwyr a’u bywoliaeth.
> 
> 
> “Dyma pam mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i helpu pobl, fel Jonathan, sydd wedi colli eu swyddi neu mewn perygl o golli eu swyddi.
> 
> 
> “Rydyn ni’n byw mewn cyfnod hynod anodd ac ansicr, ond byddwn ni’n parhau i gefnogi ein busnesau, ein gweithwyr a’n cymunedau.


I helpu i sicrhau bod pobl yn deall y cymorth sydd ar gael iddyn nhw os ydyn nhw’n cael eu diswyddo, bydd hysbysebion ar y teledu, y radio a’r cyfryngau cymdeithasol dros yr wythnosau nesaf.

A new campaign, launched today through Working Wales, will promote the tailored support available to people who have lost their job or are at risk of doing so, and will help them seek new opportunities.


The coronavirus pandemic has placed incredible challenges and pressures on businesses and workers, not just in Wales, but across the world.


In August, Welsh Government announced a £40 million jobs and skills package which will provide help for anyone who needs it to find work, education or training or to start their own business at this challenging time. This will be key in helping Wales recover from the pandemic and ensure no one is left behind.


Working Wales is funded by Welsh Government and European Social Fund and delivered by Careers Wales. The service offers a range of support – from developing and updating skills and confidence boosting to help with health issues or childcare – which can be shaped to meet individual needs.


Jonathan Rew\-Dixon, 48, from Anglesey is one of many who have already benefitted from Working Wales’ support. He received help and advice from Working Wales earlier this year after being made redundant just as coronavirus hit the UK in March.


After 25 years working for an insurance firm, Jonathan wanted a change but felt he needed more transferrable skills. Working Wales helped him get the training he needed to find his new role in compliance.


Jonathan said:



> “The firm I worked for closed down my office in March. I knew my redundancy was coming and I’d had some positive conversations with other companies, but that all dried up when the UK went into lockdown. None of the firms I’d talked to could commit to hiring anyone new.
> 
> 
> “Losing my job in an already uncertain time was worrying. My wife was very supportive and understanding, but I didn’t know how long it was going to last and I was worried my age might act as a barrier to me finding work. I found myself just wandering around the house worrying about how long I would be unemployed for.
> 
> 
> “But, after 25 years working for insurance firms, I also saw redundancy as an opportunity to try something a bit different so I contacted Working Wales to find out more about my options. I’d done some project management in my previous role and thought that was something I’d like to do more of. I just worried I wouldn’t have the right skills or qualifications to get a job.
> 
> 
> “My Working Wales adviser, Helen, was fantastic. She talked me through my options, helped with the paper work and enrolled me in four online training courses on project management, which ran from May to August, to get me up to speed. The courses were fantastic and completely paid for, which was a big help.


Completing the training gave Jonathan the confidence to apply for a wider range of jobs, and he was offered his new role in compliance in July.


Jonathan continued:



> “I love my new job, I’m enjoying the challenge and seeing how things are done from another perspective. It’s full\-on but very interesting, I actually enjoy it more than my old job. The fact that I managed to find a role so quickly just shows that companies are still hiring, and if you have the right skills then you’re well placed to get one of those jobs.
> 
> 
> “The person who hired me said my new qualifications were one of the reasons why I got the job. To anyone who’s worried about their employment, or who has been made redundant during the pandemic, I can’t recommend Working Wales enough.


Economy, Transport and North Wales Minister Ken Skates said:



> “Although our unemployment rate in Wales remains below that of the wider UK, we know the pandemic is having an impact.
> 
> 
> “Our Economic Resilience Fund has so far helped to protect more than 100,000 jobs and provided nearly £300 million of financial support to 13,000 businesses. But these are incredibly difficult times, and some businesses are now having to make difficult decisions, and those decisions affect their workers and livelihoods.
> 
> 
> “That’s why Welsh Government has committed to supporting people, like Jonathan, who have lost their job or are at risk of doing so.
> 
> 
> “We are living in incredible difficult and uncertain times, but we will continue to back our businesses, our workers and our communities.


To help ensure people understand the help that is out for them if they are made redundant, adverts will be running on TV, radio and social media over the coming weeks.
