Nod y ddarpariaeth e\-ddysgu anffurfiol sydd wedi’i lansio o’r newydd yw helpu gweithwyr ar ffyrlo i wella eu lefelau gwybodaeth mewn amrywiaeth eang o feysydd, gan gefnogi lles eu meddwl a’u helpu i baratoi ar gyfer y dyfodol.


Gall dysgwyr brwd ymweld â gwefan Cymru’n Gweithio a chael eu cyfeirio at amrywiaeth o adnoddau ar\-lein am ddim a fydd yn eu helpu i loywi eu cyfres o sgiliau.


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



> “Mae hwn yn gyfnod eithriadol heriol ac anodd i ni i gyd. Rydyn ni eisiau cefnogi’r gweithwyr hynny sydd ar ffyrlo a darparu cyfleoedd hawdd a hwylus iddynt i wella eu sgiliau, cynnal iechyd eu meddwl ac, o bosib, meddwl am eu hopsiynau gyrfaol yn y dyfodol.
> 
> 
> “Hefyd bydd gweithwyr sy’n rhoi amser i ddysgu sgiliau a gwybodaeth newydd yn hynod ddefnyddiol wrth i ni i gyd weithio i sicrhau bod economi Cymru yn y sefyllfa orau bosib i fownsio’n ôl o’r pandemig yma.
> 
> 
> “Drwy’r fenter yma rydyn ni’n darparu amrywiaeth eang o adnoddau dysgu ar\-lein am ddim, gyda llawer ohonynt yn ddwyieithog, gan ddarparwyr dibynadwy fel y Brifysgol Agored ac fe hoffwn i annog ein gweithlu ar ffyrlo i edrych ar beth sydd ar gael iddynt.”


Dywedodd Nikki Lawrence, prif weithredwr Gyrfa Cymru:



> "Rydyn ni’n gwybod bod hwn yn gyfnod ansicr i lawer o bobl sydd wedi cael eu rhoi ar gyfnod ffyrlo ac mae ein gwasanaeth Cymru’n Gweithio yma i helpu.
> 
> 
> "Drwy godi ymwybyddiaeth o amrywiaeth o e\-ddysgu anffurfiol y gall pobl ei gwblhau ar\-lein, fe allwn ni eu cefnogi i wella eu sgiliau presennol, dysgu rhywbeth newydd a chefnogi eu lles."


Dywedodd Louise Casella, cyfarwyddwr y Brifysgol Agored yng Nghymru:



> “Mae aros gartref am y cyfnod estynedig yma’n heriol i’r rhan fwyaf ohonom ni, ond mae’n achosi ansicrwydd mawr i staff sydd wedi cael eu gosod ar absenoldeb ffyrlo. Yn ystod y cyfnod anodd yma, mae cyfle i bobl ddysgu rhywbeth newydd gartref a darparu ysgogiad y mae ei wir angen a hwb i les.

> “Gall dysgu ar\-lein gyda’r Brifysgol Agored helpu pobl i ddysgu sgiliau newydd a gwella eu gwybodaeth am bwnc, yn barod ar gyfer pan maent yn dychwelyd i’r gwaith.

The newly launched, informal e\-learning provision is aimed at helping furloughed workers to improve their  knowledge levels across a broad range of areas, while supporting their  mental wellbeing and helping them to prepare for the future.


Budding learners can visit the Working Wales website where they will be signposted to a range of free online resources that will help them to refresh their skill sets.


Minister for Economy, Transport and North Wales, Ken Skates, said:



> “This is a hugely challenging and difficult  time for all of us. We want to support those workers who have been furloughed and provide them with easy to access opportunities to improve their skills, maintain their mental health, and potentially think about future careers options.
> 
> 
> “Workers taking this time to acquire new skills and knowledge will also be hugely helpful as we all work to ensure the Welsh economy is in the best possible position to bounce back from this pandemic.
> 
> 
> “Through this initiative we are providing a  wide range of free online learning resources, many of which are bilingual, from trusted providers like The Open University, and I strongly encourage our furloughed workface to take a look at what is on offer.”


Nikki Lawrence, chief executive of Careers Wales, said:



> "We know these are uncertain times for many people who have been placed on furlough leave and our Working Wales service is here to help.

Louise Casella, director of The Open University in Wales said:



> “Staying at home for this extended period is challenging for most of us, but it is causing particular uncertainty for staff who have been placed on furlough leave. During this difficult time, there is an opportunity for people to learn something new at home providing some much\-needed stimulation and a boost to well\-being.
