Wedi'i lansio gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn 2019, mae Cymru'n Gweithio ar gael i unrhyw un dros 16 oed a heb fod mewn addysg amser llawn. Mae'r gwasanaeth, a ddarperir gan Gyrfa Cymru ac a gefnogir gan gronfeydd yr UE, yn cynnig dull wedi'i deilwra ar gyfer unigolion, yn seiliedig ar amgylchiadau personol. Mae'r cymorth sydd ar gael yn cynnwys atgyfeiriadau at hyfforddiant sy'n benodol i'r swydd, chwilio am swyddi a dod o hyd i leoliadau gwaith.


Hyd yma, mae 67% o'r bobl sy'n cysylltu â Cymru'n Gweithio wedi cael eu cyfeirio at gymorth neu gyfleoedd pellach gan gynnwys cyflogaeth, addysg a hyfforddiant a ariennir. O'r rhain, cafodd bron i 5,500 o unigolion chwiliad swydd dwys, sgiliau cyfweld a chymorth CV.


Mae Cymru'n Gweithio wedi profi ei gwerth dros y pandemig drwy arallgyfeirio ei gwasanaethau'n gyflym mewn ymateb i effaith COVID\-19 a her gynyddol diweithdra.


Hyd yma, mae wedi helpu 54,351 o bobl i uwchsgilio, hyfforddi a dod o hyd i swyddi.


Un o'r rhai a gefnogwyd gan Cymru'n Gweithio yw David Rutter, 39, cogydd o Ynys Môn. Helpodd y gwasanaeth David i ddod o hyd i'r cydbwysedd perffaith rhwng bywyd a gwaith ar ôl iddo gael ei roi ar ffyrlo o'i swydd fel prif gogydd ar ddechrau y pandemig.


Er bod ffyrlo yn cynnig diogelwch swyddi iddo, a'r wybodaeth y byddai'n gallu dychwelyd i'r gwaith pan fyddai'r cyfyngiadau'n codi, newidiodd yr amser i ffwrdd o'r swydd feddylfryd David. Penderfynodd ei fod am newid swydd, rhywbeth y sylweddolodd y gallai ei wneud drwy Cymru'n Gweithio.


Meddai David:



> "Pan darodd y pandemig, fel llawer yn y diwydiant lletygarwch, fe'm rhoddwyd ar ffyrlo. Rhoddodd amser i mi fyfyrio ar y pethau yr oeddwn am eu gweld. Er fy mod wrth fy modd yn gweithio fel cogydd, roeddwn i'n treulio mwy o amser gyda fy merch ddwyflwydd oed.
> 
> 
> "Penderfynais ofyn am gyngor gan Cymru'n Gweithio ar ôl dod o hyd i'w gwefan. Ar y dechrau, roeddwn yn meddwl y byddai'n rhaid imi newid fy ngyrfa'n llwyr, ond dangosodd fy ymgynghorydd imi'n gyflym y gallwn gael y gorau o'r ddau fyd. Yn ein sgwrs gychwynnol o awr, dywedwyd wrthyf sut y gallai fy sgiliau trosglwyddadwy ganiatáu i mi barhau yn y swydd yr oeddwn yn ei charu a'm helpu i weld bod swyddi ar gael gyda'r oriau yr oeddwn am eu cael, a fyddai'n caniatáu i mi barhau i dreulio amser gyda fy merch.


Mae David bellach yn gweithio fel prif gogydd mewn meithrinfa i blant, sydd digwydd bod ble y mae ei ferch yn mynd. Golygodd ei frwdfrydedd dros goginio a'i flynyddoedd o brofiad mewn gwahanol leoliadau, gan gynnwys yr amser a dreuliodd fel cogydd yn Saudi Arabia, ei fod yn awyddus i barhau i weithio fel cogydd.


Aeth ymlaen i ddweud:



> "Doeddwn i ddim o reidrwydd eisiau newid gyrfa, dim ond yr oriau. Heb gymorth Cymru'n Gweithio, dydw i ddim yn meddwl y byddwn wedi dod o hyd i swydd oedd yn fy ngalluogi i ddefnyddio fy sgiliau presennol a dal i dreulio amser gyda fy merch. Dysgodd gerdded tra oeddwn ar ffyrlo, ac ar adegau fel hynny roeddwn yn gwybod nad oeddwn am golli allan.
> 
> 
> "Ni all bawb ddweud eu bod yn edrych ymlaen mewn gwirionedd at fynd i'r gwaith, ond rwy'n un o'r rhai lwcus sy'n gallu dweud fy mod i wir yn gwneud hynny. Gan weithio yn yr un feithrinfa y mae fy merch yn mynd iddi, a dal i'w gweld y tu allan i'r gwaith diolch i amserlen waith gymdeithasol yn werthfawr tu hwnt. Dwi mor ddiolchgar i Cymru'n Gweithio am eu cefnogaeth a'u hamser yn helpu imi ddod o hyd i'r cydbwysedd rhwng bywyd a gwaith rydw i wedi'i ddymuno erioed.


Wrth sôn am lwyddiant Cymru'n Gweithio hyd yma, dywedodd Vaughan Gething, Gweinidog yr Economi:



> "Fel rhan o gynlluniau adfer uchelgeisiol Llywodraeth Cymru o COVID\-19, rydym yn benderfynol o sicrhau nad oes cenhedlaeth goll, mewn Cymru sy'n dod yn beiriant ar gyfer twf cynaliadwy a chynhwysol.
> 
> 
> "Mae Cymru'n Gweithio yn darparu cyngor ac arweiniad am ddim bob dydd i bobl ledled Cymru i'w helpu i gael gwaith, boed yn bobl ifanc yn y gweithle am y tro cyntaf neu bobl ar incwm isel sydd angen newid eu gyrfa. Mae'r gwasanaeth wedi gweld cynnydd yn nifer y bobl sydd wedi colli eu swyddi neu sy'n poeni eu bod mewn perygl o gael eu diswyddo. Nid yw Cymru'n Gweithio erioed wedi bod yn fwy gwerthfawr nag yn ystod ein cyfnod heriol presennol.
> 
> 
> "Trwy Cymru'n Gweithio ein nod yw cynnig cyngor ar sut i gael gwaith cynaliadwy a chreu llwybrau gyrfa. Yr hyn na ddylem fyth ei anghofio yw y tu ôl i bob swydd a grëwyd a swydd wag sydd wedi’i llenwi, bod stori – rhywun y mae eu hincwm teuluol, eu hunan\-barch a'u cyfleoedd mewn bywyd i gyd wedi gwella'n aruthrol drwy fod mewn gwaith.
> 
> 
> "Rydym yn gweithio gyda sefydliadau i sicrhau nad swydd yn unig y mae pobl yn ei gael, ond swydd dda – ac mae Cymru'n Gweithio yn newid straeon pobl drwy eu helpu i ddod o hyd i waith, uwchsgilio drwy gyrsiau a chael mynediad at gyfleoedd hyfforddi, cymorth neu ariannu.  Mae'n hanfodol bod pobl yn gadarnhaol am eu cyfleoedd gwaith yn y dyfodol, ac mae Cymru'n Gweithio yn helpu i ymgysylltu, ysgogi a rhoi sicrwydd iddynt o'u gwerth.


Gyda 4\.4% o bobl 16 i 64 oed yng Nghymru yn ddi\-waith ar hyn o bryd (Arolwg o'r Llafurlu, Ionawr i Mawrth 2021\), bu i Cymru'n Gweithio addasu ei gwasanaethau i barhau i ddarparu cymorth i'r rhai sy'n wynebu rhwystrau i gyflogaeth.


Dywedodd Nikki Lawrence, Prif Weithredwr Gyrfa Cymru:



> "Rydym mor falch o bopeth y mae Cymru'n Gweithio wedi'i gyflawni ers ei lansio ddwy flynedd yn ôl. Mae'r pandemig wedi ein dysgu y gallwn addasu ein gwasanaethau mewn cyfnod heriol i barhau i gynnig cefnogaeth a chyfleoedd ystyrlon i bobl ledled Cymru sy'n chwilio am waith neu i wella eu rhagolygon am swydd.
> 
> 
> "Effaith y pandemig ar y farchnad swyddi yn sicr fu'r her anoddaf rydym wedi'i hwynebu yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf, gyda llawer o bobl yn gorfod goresgyn rhwystrau ychwanegol i ddod o hyd i waith. Drwy ein timau o gynghorwyr ymroddedig sy'n gweithio ledled Cymru, rydym am barhau i rymuso pobl i ennill y sgiliau a'r profiad rydym yn gwybod bod cyflogwyr yn chwilio amdanynt, nawr yn fwy nag erioed.

Launched by Welsh Government in 2019, Working Wales is available to anyone over the age of 16 and not in full\-time education. The service, delivered by Careers Wales and backed by EU funds, offers a tailored approach to individuals, based on personal circumstances. Support available includes referrals to job\-specific training, job searches and finding work placements.


To date, 67% of people contacting Working Wales have been referred to further support or opportunities including employment, funded education and training. Of these, nearly 5,500 individuals received intensive job search, interview skills and CV support.


Working Wales has proven its value over the pandemic by quickly diversifying its services in response to the impact of COVID\-19 and the growing challenge of unemployment.


To date, it has helped 54,351 people upskill, train and find jobs.


One of those supported by Working Wales is David Rutter, 39, a chef from Anglesey. The service helped David find the perfect work/life balance after he was furloughed from his job as head chef at the start of the COVID\-19 pandemic.


While furlough offered him job security, and the knowledge he would be able to return to work when restrictions lifted, time away from the role changed David’s mindset. He decided he wanted a job change, something he realised he could do through Working Wales.


David said:



> “When the pandemic hit, like many in the hospitality industry, I was put on furlough. It gave me the time to reflect on the things I wanted. Even though I loved working as a chef, I was spending more time with my two\-year\-old daughter.
> 
> 
> “I decided to seek advice from Working Wales after finding their website. At first I was under the assumption that I would have to completely change my career, but my advisor quickly showed me that I could have the best of both worlds. In our initial one\-hour conversation, they told me how my transferable skills could allow me to continue in the role I loved and helped me to see that there are jobs out there with the hours I wanted, that would allow me to continue spending time with my daughter.


David now works as the head chef at a children’s nursery, which happens to be the same one his daughter attends. His passion for cooking and his years of experience in various settings, including time spent as a chef in Saudi Arabia, left him keen to continue working as a chef.


He continued:



> “I hadn’t necessarily wanted to change careers, just the hours. Without the help of Working Wales, I don’t think I would have found a role that allowed me to use my existing skills and still spend quality time with my daughter. She learned to walk while I was on furlough, and it was moments like that I knew I didn’t want to miss out on.
> 
> 
> “Not everyone can say they genuinely look forward to going to work, but I am one of the lucky ones who can say I really do. Working in the same nursery my daughter goes to, and still getting to see her outside of works thanks to a sociable working schedule is a real gift. I am so grateful to Working Wales for their support and time they spent with me to help me find the work/life balance I’ve always wanted.


Commenting on the success of Working Wales to date, Minister for Economy, Vaughan Gething said:



> “As part of the Welsh Government’s ambitious recovery plans from COVID\-19, we are determined to ensure there is no lost generation, in a Wales that becomes an engine for sustainable, inclusive growth.
> 
> 
> “Working Wales provides free advice and guidance every day to people all across Wales to help them into work, whether that’s young people making their first transition to the workplace or people that are on low incomes and need to change their career. The service has seen an upsurge in people who have been made redundant or worried that they are at risk of being made redundant. Working Wales has never before been more valuable than during our current challenging times.
> 
> 
> “Through Working Wales we aim to offer advice on how to get sustainable employment and create career paths. What we must never forget is that behind every single job created and vacancy filled, there is a human success story, of someone whose family income, self\-esteem and life chances are all hugely improved by being in work.
> 
> 
> “We are working with organisations across the board to ensure that people don’t just find a job, but a good job, and Working Wales is changing people’s stories by helping them find work, upskill through courses and access training, support or funding opportunities. It is crucial that people are positive about their future job opportunities, and Working Wales helps engage, motivate, and reassure them of their worth.
> 
> 
> With 4\.4% of people aged 16 to 64 in Wales currently unemployed (Labour Force Survey, January to March 2021\), Working Wales adapted its services to continue to provide support to those facing barriers to employment.


Nikki Lawrence, Chief Executive of Careers Wales, said:



> “We are so proud of everything Working Wales has achieved since its launch two years ago. The pandemic has taught us that we can adapt our services in challenging times to continue to offer meaningful support and opportunities to people across Wales who are looking for work or to improve their job prospects.
> 
> 
> “The impact of the pandemic on the job market has certainly been the most difficult challenge we’ve faced in recent years with many people having to overcome additional barriers to finding work. Through our teams of dedicated advisers working all across Wales, we want to continue to empower people to gain the skills and experience we know employers are looking for, now more than ever.
