Ers cyflwyno’r targed, mae dros 74,000 o unigolion wedi dechrau ar brentisiaethau sy’n caniatáu iddynt ddysgu ac ennill cyflog yr un pryd, gan roi hwb i’w cyfleoedd gyrfa.


Mae Wythnos Prentisiaethau 2020 yn ddathliad wythnos o hyd o waith caled ac ymroddiad prentisiaid, yn ogystal â chefnogaeth ac ymrwymiad eu cyflogwyr. Mae digwyddiadau yn cael eu cynnal ledled Cymru i nodi’r achlysur.


Mae polisi Prentisiaethau a Sgiliau Llywodraeth Cymru yn ceisio sicrhau bod prentisiaethau yn diwallu’r anghenion ar gyfer economi ffyniannus yng Nghymru, fel y gall Cymru gystadlu ar lwyfan y byd â gweithlu hynod fedrus.


Mae’r Rhaglen Brentisiaethau wedi’i hariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru gyda chefnogaeth Cronfa Gymdeithasol Ewrop.


Gan siarad ar ddechrau’r Wythnos Prentisiaethau, dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Ken Skates:



> “Rwy’ wedi cyfarfod prentisiaid o bob cwr o Gymru, ac mae’n wych gweld sut maen nhw wedi cydio yn y cyfle i ddysgu sgiliau newydd, datblygu eu gwybodaeth a chodi eu hyder.
> 
> 
> “Mae’n amlwg bod prentisiaethau yn gwneud cyfraniad sylweddol i economi Cymru ac yn ysgogi ein gweledigaeth ar gyfer Cymru ffyniannus.
> 
> 
> “Fel llywodraeth, rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i weld ein gweithlu yn tyfu, ac mae’n buddsoddiad ni mewn prentisiaethau yn enghraifft ardderchog o hynny.

> 
> “Rwy’ am weld Cymru yn arwain y ffordd, fel esiampl ardderchog i wledydd ar draws y byd o’r ffordd y gall buddsoddi mewn prentisiaethau arwain at fanteision sylweddol.
> 
> 
> “Mae ffigurau diweithdra Cymru yn is nag erioed, ac rydym yn disgwyl curo’r targed maniffesto o greu 100,000 o brentisiaethau yn ystod y cynulliad hwn, felly mae lle gan Lywodraeth Cymru i ymfalchïo yn y camau ry’n ni’n eu cymryd i sbarduno’r economi.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r Wythnos Prentisiaethau yn gyfle gwych i ddathlu’r gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol mae prentisiaid a’u cyflogwyr yn ei wneud.

Since the target was introduced, more than 74,000 individuals have embarked on an apprenticeship allowing them to learn whilst earning a wage and boost their career prospects.


Apprenticeship Week 2020 is a week\-long celebration of the hard work and dedication of apprentices as well as the support and commitment shown by their employers. Events are taking place across Wales to mark the occasion.


The Welsh Government’s Apprenticeship Skills policy is aimed at aligning apprenticeships to meet the needs for a flourishing Welsh economy so Wales can compete globally with a highly skilled workforce.


The Apprenticeship Programme in Wales is funded by the Welsh Government with support from the European Social Fund.


Speaking as Apprenticeship Week gets underway, Economy Minister Ken Skates said:



> “In my role, I have met apprentices in all parts of Wales and it’s fantastic to see how they have grasped the opportunity to learn new skills, develop their knowledge and build confidence.
> 
> 
> “It’s clear that apprenticeships make a significant contribution to the Welsh economy and drive our vision for a prosperous Wales.
> 
> 
> “As a government, we are committed to seeing our workforce grow and our investment in apprenticeships is a great example of that.
> 
> 
> “I want to see Wales lead the way and be a prime example to nations around the globe of how investing in apprenticeships can reap major benefits.
> 
> 
> “With unemployment in Wales at a record low and our manifesto target of creating 100,000 apprenticeships in this assembly set to be exceeded, the Welsh Government can be rightly proud of the actions we’re taking to supercharge our economy.
> 
> 
> “Apprenticeship Week offers us a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the tangible and very real difference apprentices and their employers make.
> 
> 
> “Our ‘make a genius decision’ apprenticeship campaign is also playing a key role in encouraging businesses to recruit an apprentice and realise the positive difference they can make to the workplace.
