Hwb: Vocational and Post-16 Resources

The resource is a one-stop shop for supporting bilingual apprentices and employers. A comprehensive digital resource designed to help employers recruit, develop, and support apprentices who use Welsh in the workplace. It offers a valuable blend of up-to-date information, expert advice, and practical tools suitable for every stage of the apprenticeship journey.    It features inspiring case studies, engaging video clips, and success stories from current and newly qualified apprentices.  The resource provides genuine insights, examples of best practice, and tailored support to help every apprentice thrive in a bilingual environment.

The Research Conference was held on 26–27 June at Aberystwyth University and the National Library, and it was streamed on the Coleg's YouTube channel.  Recordings from the conference and copies of the research posters that were presented can be viewed by clicking on the links below.

A presentation by Dr Hanna Hopwood to postgraduate students to share advice on how to make the most of your time and energy when researching.   Dr Hanna Hopwood is a lecturer in the Department of Linguistics, University of Oxford. She is also a project manager and about to complete the ILM Level 7 in executive coaching and mentoring. In addition, she has followed several courses on Compassion Focused Therapy and incorporates the models from that teaching at every possible opportunity into her work every day. This presentation encourages you to consider: What kind of learner are you? What is going to help you personally in setting your research goals and objectives? What kind of atmosphere and study pattern works for you? What can help set good habits? How can you structure your time effectively? What strategies can work when setting goals and objectives? How can you make the most of your time and energy? To accompany this resource, a live online workshop titled Setting Goals and Objectives for Researchers will be held with Dr Hanna Hopwood on 20 May at 11:00 to delve deeper into the above questions, and to share good practice and further advice.
