Two award winners, Chrystalla Moreton, 20, from Fairwater, Cardiff and Kiera Dwyer, 24, from Rhydyfelin, Pontypridd, have both overcome major challenges in their lives to develop promising careers.


Engineering apprentice Chrystalla, who won the Tomorrow’s Talent Award, works for reinforced steel manufacturer Celsa Steel UK in Cardiff. Seeking to become a role model for women in the steel industry, she is described as a “shining star” by her employer, a finalist in the Large Employer of the Year category.


Having to revise her original plan to join the Army following a family tragedy took its toll on Chrystalla’s mental health. She is now making up for lost time as she works towards a Mechanical Engineering Apprenticeship in Production Services, delivered by training provider TSW, whilst also supporting her siblings.


Chrystalla said:



> “After being at the lowest point in my life, this is a massive turnaround.”


Pharmacy technician Kiera, who has Irlen Syndrome, also known as visual stress, was named Apprentice of the Year. She has shown determination, dedication and commitment to achieve a series of qualifications to support Sheppards Pharmacy, part of the Avicenna group, in Abercynon.


Working on the front line during the pandemic, Kiera had to deal with a series of traumatic family events, including the loss of her beloved grandfather. She has taken on extra responsibility, allowing pharmacists more time with patients, resulting in a satisfaction rating of up to 100% for the community pharmacy.


To overcome the visual stress, she invested in additional learning aids for written work and revision to complete a Pre\-registration Pharmacy Technician Training Programme Apprenticeship which included a BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Pharmaceutical Science through awarding body Pearson and a City \& Guilds Level 3 in Pharmacy Service Skills. 


The apprenticeship was delivered by Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) supported by ALS Training.


Higher Apprentice of the Year Award winner Jayne Williams has become the “apprenticeships poster girl” within HM Courts and Tribunals Service due to her passion for learning and development.


Jayne, 58, from Newport, has seen her role as a court clerk expanded to cover running staff training, coaching, facilitation and academy courses. In the past year, she helped train 690 HMCTS colleagues via online workshops.


She was the first HMCTS employee to achieve a Higher Apprenticeship (Level 4\) in Advice \& Guidance, delivered by training provider ACT. Jayne now hopes to continue her learning journey with more qualifications.


Digital internal quality assurer Angelina Mitchell, 28, who works for training provider ACT in Cardiff, was named Work\-based Learning Practitioner of the Year.


Pioneering the delivery of the Digital Learning Design Apprenticeship Framework in Wales, Angelia believes her role is to open the door for learners to gain the skills to confidently use technology.


A former secondary school teacher of modern foreign languages, Angelina joined ACT looking for a new career challenge and wanting to help others become tech savvy.


To understand her learners’ journey, she completed the apprenticeships herself and delivers them bilingually, having won the Work Welsh Learner of the Year Award (intermediate). Ninety per cent of her learners complete their qualification and Angelina has an 88% employer engagement rating. 


Named Medium Employer of the Year, FSG Tool and Die, based in Llantrisant, has developed an international reputation for the exceptional skills of its award\-winning apprentices who have helped improve the company’s manufacturing process.


Apprentices employed by the tool and die manufacturer excel in national and international competitions and have helped streamline its manufacturing process, thereby improving efficiency by six per cent. 


They have also invented smaller electric car batteries for a customer and are trialling sustainable manufacturing materials for a greener future.


FSG Tool and Die has a workforce exceeding 90, including 12 apprentices who are working towards Apprenticeships up to degree level in Mechanical Engineering, delivered by training provider TSW Training and the University of Wales Trinity St David in Swansea.


The Large Employer of the Year Award went to Kepak Group Limited in Merthyr Tydfil which has created its own internal trainers to develop the next generation of employees to build the company’s skilled workforce.


Adopting this work\-based training approach just 18 months ago with support from by training provider Cambrian Training Company, Kepak has already seen a 15% reduction in staff turnover and first\-generation apprentices are being promoted to more senior roles.


40 employees are working towards apprenticeships including Meat and Poultry Industry Skills (levels 2 and 3\), Food Industry Skills (levels 2 and 3\), Food Team Leading (level 2\), Food Management (level 3\), Food Manufacturing Excellence (level 4\) and Management (level 4 and 5\). 


The other award winners were:


* Foundation Apprentice of the Year: Boglárka\-Tunde Incze from Llanrug
* Small Employer of the Year: Willow Daycare, Carmarthen
* Macro Employer of the Year: Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board

Mae dwy o enillwyr y gwobrau, Chrystalla Moreton, 20, o’r Tyllgoed, Caerdydd a Kiera Dwyer, 24, o Rydyfelin, Pontypridd, wedi goresgyn heriau mawr yn eu bywydau a mynd ymlaen i ddatblygu gyrfaoedd addawol.


Prentis peirianneg yw Chrystalla, a enillodd y wobr Doniau’r Dyfodol ac mae’n gweithio i'r cwmni dur cyfnerthedig Celsa Steel UK yng Nghaerdydd. Mae’n awyddus i fod yn batrwm i ferched yn y diwydiant dur ac, yn ôl ei chyflogwr, oedd ar restr fer y wobr Cyflogwr Mawr y Flwyddyn, mae’n “seren ddisglair”. 


Bu’n rhaid i Chrystalla newid ei chynllun gwreiddiol o ymuno â’r Fyddin yn dilyn trychineb deuluol a effeithiodd ar ei hiechyd meddwl. Erbyn hyn. mae’n gwneud iawn am yr amser a gollwyd gan weithio tuag at Brentisiaeth Peirianneg Fecanyddol mewn Gwasanaethau Cynhyrchu a gyflenwir gan y darparwr hyfforddiant TSW. Mae hefyd yn parhau i gefnogi ei theulu.


Chrystalla meddai:



> “Ar ôl cyfnod isel iawn, mae hwn yn drawsnewidiad enfawr.”


Kiera, technegydd fferyllol sydd â Syndrom Irlen, a elwir hefyd yn straen gweledol, enillodd wobr Prentis y Flwyddyn. Mae wedi dangos penderfyniad, ymroddiad ac ymrwymiad wrth sicrhau cyfres o gymwysterau i gefnogi ei gwaith yn Sheppards Pharmacy, rhan o grŵp Avicenna, yn Abercynon.


A hithau’n gweithio ar y rheng flaen yn ystod y pandemig, bu'n rhaid i Kiera ddelio â nifer o ddigwyddiadau trawmatig yn y teulu, gan gynnwys colli ei thad\-cu a oedd yn annwyl iawn ganddi. Mae wedi cymryd cyfrifoldeb ychwanegol er mwyn rhoi mwy o amser i’r fferyllwyr ymdrin â chleifion. O ganlyniad i hyn, mae'r fferyllfa gymunedol yn cael sgôr o hyd at 100% gan gleifion.


Er mwyn dod dros y straen gweledol, buddsoddodd Kiera mewn cymhorthion dysgu ychwanegol ar gyfer gwaith ysgrifennu ac adolygu er mwyn cwblhau Prentisiaeth Rhaglen Hyfforddi Technegwyr Fferylliaeth Cyn\-gofrestru a oedd yn cynnwys Diploma BTEC Lefel 3 mewn Gwyddor Fferyllol trwy’r corff dyfarnu Pearson, a City \& Guilds Lefel 3 mewn Sgiliau Gwasanaethau Fferylliaeth.

Mae’r Gwasanaeth Llysoedd a Thribiwnlysoedd bob amser yn troi at Jayne Williams, enillydd gwobr Prentis Uwch y Flwyddyn, i annog pobl i wneud prentisiaethau, diolch i’w brwdfrydedd dros ddysgu a datblygu.

Angelina Mitchell, 28, sy’n swyddog sicrhau ansawdd mewnol digidol gyda’r darparwr hyfforddiant ACT yng Nghaerdydd, a enwyd yn Ymarferydd y Flwyddyn Dysgu Seiliedig ar Waith.


A hithau’n gwneud gwaith arloesol yn cyflwyno’r Fframwaith Prentisiaethau Dylunio Dysgu Digidol yng Nghymru, mae Angelina yn credu mai ei rôl yw agor y drws i ddysgwyr feithrin y sgiliau i ddefnyddio technoleg yn hyderus.


Bu Angelina’n dysgu ieithoedd tramor modern i ddisgyblion ysgol uwchradd ac ymunodd ag ACT gan ei bod yn chwilio am her newydd yn ei gyrfa a’i bod yn awyddus i helpu eraill i ddefnyddio’r dechnoleg ddigidol.


Er mwyn deall taith ei dysgwyr yn iawn, mae hithau wedi dilyn y prentisiaethau ac mae’n eu cyflenwi’n ddwyieithog ar ôl ennill Gwobr Dysgwr y Flwyddyn 'Cymraeg Gwaith' (canolradd). Mae naw deg y cant o ddysgwyr Angelina’n cwblhau eu cymhwyster ac mae'n cael sgôr ymgysylltu â chyflogwyr o 88%. 


Cwmni FSG Tool and Die o Lantrisant a enwyd yn Gyflogwr Canolig y Flwyddyn. Mae ganddo enw da yn rhyngwladol oherwydd sgiliau eithriadol ei brentisiaid sydd wedi helpu i wella proses weithgynhyrchu’r cwmni.


Mae prentisiad y cwmni gwneud tŵls a deiau yn serennu mewn cystadlaethau cenedlaethol a rhyngwladol ac maent wedi helpu i symleiddio ei broses weithgynhyrchu, gan wella effeithlonrwydd o chwech y cant. 


Yn ogystal, maent wedi dyfeisio batris llai ar gyfer ceir trydan ar gais cwsmer ac maent yn treialu deunyddiau gweithgynhyrchu cynaliadwy ar gyfer dyfodol gwyrddach.
