Sawl gwaith da chi 'di clywed pobi yn cwyno nad oes digon o adeiladwyr, seiri, plymars a trydanwyr ar gael pan mae rhywun eu hangen nhw? Wel, mae Partneriaeth Cymunedau'n Gyntaf Pen Llyn am wneud rhywbeth am y peth.

Dros y misoedd diwethaf cynhaliwyd gwaith ymchwil o fewn y diwydiant adeiladu i ddarganfod os oedd modd datblygu cynllun prentisio lleol i sicrhau fod yna gyfleon yn cael eu cynnig i bobl ifanc yr ardal, ac os oedd modd hwyluso'r gwaith o hyfforddi prentis o ochr y cyflogwr.

Mae'r bartneriaeth bellach wedi Iansio cynllun 'Cyswllt Prentisio' fydd yn cynnig gwasanaeth paru er mwyn dod a darpar brentis a chyflogwr at ei gilydd ac mae cynlluniau hefyd i ysgafnhau'r baich gweinyddol sydd ynghlwm a chyflogi prentis. Mae'r bartneriaeth hefyd yn cydweithio yn agos gyda Ysgol Uwchradd Botwnnog, sydd am y tro cyntaf eleni yn cynnig cwrs TGAU mewn Adeiladu. Byddwn hefyd yn cydweithio gyda'r ysgol i gynnig cyrsiau gyda'r nos i rai sydd eisoes yn gweithio o fewn y diwydiant.

Mae cynlluniau eisoes yn cael eu Ilunio i ymestyn y cynliun i gynnwys diwydiannau eraill, gan ystyried y gwersi ddysgwyd hyd yma.

Bydd rhoi cymorth i brentisiaid heddiw yn gofalu fod gwaith parhaol ar gael i'r dyfodol a na fydd yr ardal yn dioddef o brinder crefftwyr.

How many times have you heard people complaining that there aren't enough builders, joiners, plumbers and electricians available when you need them? Well, the Pen Llyn Communities First Partnership is going to do something about it.
During recent months research was conducted within the construction industry to gauge the feasibility of developing a local apprenticeship scheme in order to ensure that opportunities are available for the young people of the area, and facilitate the work of training an apprentice for employers.

The Partnership has now launched it's 'Apprenticeship Link' scheme that will offer a 'matchmaking' service Intended to bring together prospective apprentices and employers; and there are also plans to lighten the administrative burden involved in employing an apprentice.

The Partnership also cooperates closely with Ysgol Botwnnog that will, this year, be offering a GCSE course in Construction for the first time. We shall also be working in partnership with the school to offer evening classes for those who are al ready working in the industry.

Plans are already being drawn to extend the scheme to include other industries, taking note of lessons learnt to date.
Supporting today's apprentices will mean that permanent work shall be available in the future and that the area will not suffer from a lack of craftspeople.
