Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Cyflogaeth
Mae hyn yn fy atgoffa o fy nyddiau prifysgol: byddwn i'n dweud rhywbeth, ac yna, 'Na, Hefin, rydych chi'n anghywir.' Wel, y pwynt oedd mai buddsoddiad Llafur oedd y buddsoddiad economaidd a ddigwyddodd yn ystod camau diweddarach Llywodraeth Lafur y DU, ac ni…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Cyflogaeth
Nid wyf yn malio am ychydig o heclo, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Nid wyf yn malio. David Cameron a George Osborne yn 2010—. Ac mae Tom Giffard yn sôn am economeg sylfaenol; wel, mae'n rhaid ichi ddewis ochr ar hyn, oherwydd, am bob problem, mae yna ateb polisi gwahanol…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Cyflogaeth
Wel, dyma beth yw gorymdeithio i sŵn y gynau, onid e? Mae'r Siambr yn llawn Torïaid sy'n siarad—. Hwy sy'n lladd ar yr economi. Roedd popeth a ddywedwyd yn gwbl negyddol. Er i Tom Giffard ddweud mai Llafur sy'n lladd ar yr economi, y Ceidwadwyr sy'n gwneud…

Yes. I think Nerys answered, and Jamie answered, really well. I think it just reflects where we are with this at this point in time, and we need to find a way through.

The students. It's a tough question.

Well, there's another group who could be paying for it, isn't there?

Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau
Jamie might have a view on it, and also Careers Wales as well. And that's my last question, Chair. I'll stop then.

Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau
Okay. And finally, lastly on that, this isn't helped either by the fact that there are very few degree apprenticeship programmes available. And they're never going to be available if they're continually reliant on Welsh Government funding. What other options…

Would Careers Wales have a view on that particular programme, and how it might be mirrored in the public sector, or the private sector, or elsewhere?

I don't disagree with a lot of what Jamie said. There's certainly a key message there regarding vertical integration. But during the course of my research, I found an advocate for a rail degree apprenticeship programme. And we found that they had bespoke…

It's probably appropriate now, because it follows on from what Jamie was saying, if that's okay.

That's very helpful for a report we might put together and a recommendation. Thank you, Chair.
23 Ionawr 2025 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau
Okay. It was a very helpful answer. Nerys, is there anything you can fill in there?

So, in the last session, our witnesses from FE and private apprenticeship providers told us that there's a lack of data on pupil destinations, and that they need more data in order to plan for the kinds of courses that might be provided, although Careers…

Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau
Okay. Thank you. To what extent then would—? Can we look at careers advice? How do you ensure that the quality of careers advice across schools is consistent and effective, and is there a difference between the advice provided by school careers advisers and…

I think it's Amie's. I've only got rabbits here and they don't make noise.

Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau
Okay. Although I note Llanidloes high and NPTC do it, and Llanidloes high has a sixth form. They seem to work quite collaboratively well. That's the case, isn't it?

Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau

Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau
Okay, that's really helpful. I don't know if Careers Wales have any views on that particular question.

So, the two questions that come from that then would be: should we have a similar clause through legislation in Wales, and, if not, or even if so, in what other ways can we overcome this problem?
