Wrth siarad yng Ngholeg y Cymoedd neithiwr (10 Mawrth), nododd y Gweinidog gamau gweithredu i gefnogi’r gweithlu dros y 12 mis nesaf, gan gynnwys:


* Cynllun Dysgu Proffesiynol ar gyfer gweithwyr addysg bellach;
* Adolygiad sylfaenol o Addysg Gychwynnol Athrawon;
* Prosiect Trosglwyddo Gwybodaeth i ddod ag arbenigedd diwydiannau penodol i gynyddu gwybodaeth a phrofiad dysgwr mewn meysydd digidol, sgiliau gwyrdd, ôl\-osod a pheirianneg; ac
* Ymgyrch recriwtio i godi ymwybyddiaeth o'r gyrfaoedd sydd ar gael ymhlith darparwyr addysg a hyfforddiant.


Cyhoeddodd y Gweinidog fod Cynllun Dysgu Proffesiynol pwrpasol yn cael ei lunio, gan gydweithio’n agos â’r sector, i ddatblygu eu gyrfaoedd a’u bywydau proffesiynol. Bydd pecyn craidd o Ddatblygiad Proffesiynol Parhaus yn cael ei gynhyrchu, gyda ffocws ar wella sgiliau digidol. Bydd y cynllun digidol yn cael ei dreialu cyn cael ei gyflwyno o'r haf ymlaen.


Cadarnhaodd hefyd y cynhelir adolygiad o Addysg Gychwynnol Athrawon, i asesu effaith ac effeithiolrwydd cymwysterau presennol, a diwygiadau posibl i'r hyn a gynigir eisoes, gan gynnwys cymhellion.


Bydd ymgyrch recriwtio yn cael ei lansio i godi ymwybyddiaeth ymhlith y cyhoedd o’r gyrfaoedd sydd ar gael ymhlith darparwyr addysg a hyfforddiant yng Nghymru. Y nod yw denu newydd\-ddyfodiaid, o raddedigion diweddar i grefftwyr profiadol, neu weithwyr proffesiynol sydd wedi ymddeol i weithio mewn coleg addysg bellach.


Dywedodd Jeremy Miles:



> “Mae’r sector addysg bellach yn hollbwysig i greu entrepreneuriaid a gweithlu medrus y dyfodol. Mae angen sector sy’n sicrhau mynediad at y sgiliau cywir, ar yr amser cywir, gan ymateb yn gyflym ac yn hyblyg i wybodaeth am y farchnad lafur mewn economi sy’n newid. 
> 
> 
> “Rwyf hefyd yn cydnabod pa mor hanfodol bwysig yw hi i ddatblygiad y gweithlu a gwydnwch y sector ein bod yn cefnogi darlithwyr yn eu datblygiad proffesiynol a’u gyrfa. 
> 
> 
> “Rydym am godi proffil y proffesiwn addysgu ôl\-16 a dangos i bobl ar draws y sector addysg pa mor werthfawr a buddiol y gall gyrfa broffesiynol ym myd addysg bellach fod. Dros y 12 mis nesaf, byddwn yn bwrw ymlaen â phedwar darn hanfodol o waith i gefnogi'r proffesiwn. 
> 
> 
> “Rwy’n gyffrous am y cyfle sydd gennym yn y blynyddoedd i ddod ac rwy’n edrych ymlaen at weithio gyda’r sector i wneud y mwyaf ohono.”

Speaking at Coleg y Cymoedd last night (10th March)*,* the Minister set out actions to support the FE workforce over the next 12 months, including:


* A Professional Learning Plan for further education professionals;
* A fundamental review of Initial Teacher Education;
* A Knowledge Transfer Project to help bring in industry expertise to increase learners' knowledge and learning experience in subjects such as digital, green skills, retrofit construction and engineering; and
* A recruitment campaign to raise awareness of careers with education and training providers.


The Minister announced a bespoke Professional Learning Plan for staff to progress their careers and professional lives which is being developed closely with the sector. A core package of Continuous Professional Development will be produced, with a focus on improving digital skills. The digital plan will be piloted before being rolled out from the summer onwards.


He also confirmed that a review will be undertaken of Initial Teacher Education, to determine the impact and effectiveness of current qualifications, and potential reforms to the existing offer, including incentives.  


A recruitment campaign will be launched to raise awareness of the careers available with education and training providers in Wales. The aim is to entice new entrants, from recent graduates to experienced tradespeople or retired professionals, to consider working at a further education college.


Jeremy Miles said:



> “The FE sector is crucial to creating the entrepreneurs and the skilled workforce of the future. A sector ensuring access to the right skills, at the right time, responding quickly and flexibly to labour market intelligence in a changing economy. 
> 
> 
> “I also recognise how vitally important it is both for the development of the workforce and the resilience of the sector for us to support lecturers in their professional and career development.
> 
> 
> “We want to raise the profile of the post\-16 teaching profession and show people across the education sector how rewarding and beneficial a professional career in the further education can be. Over the course of the next 12 months, we will take forward four crucial pieces of work to support the profession.
> 
> 
> “I am excited about the opportunity we have in the years ahead and I look forward to working with the sector to make the most of it.”
