Recordings of five workshops that were held virtually in 2021 for students in year 12 and 13 and learners in FE colleges studying AS/A Level Mathematics. The workshops were organised by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol and led by mathematics lecturers from Swansea, Aberystwyth and Cardiff universities. They aimed to enrich the teaching of the AS/A Level specification and to provide an opportunity to get to know the lecturers.  The workshops were held between February and March 2021.

The aim of Sgiliaith’s National Staff Development Programme isto provide innovative training and practical advice on good practice and resources to staff in the further education and apprenticeships sectors. The purpose of this programme is to support practitioners to offer Welsh medium and bilingual provision to both learners and apprentices.

Sgiliaith’s development opportunities are suitable for everyone working in the sector, regardless of Welsh language skills or previous experience.

Sgiliaith’s Staff Development Training Programme offers a range of development opportunities to support the progression of practitioners’ bilingual skills, whilst Sgiliaith’s Staff Mentoring Programme offers support to practitioners in real learning situations to embed Welsh/bilingualism in the classroom or workplace.

A national staff development and mentoring programme for the post-16 sector was commissioned. It is delivered by Sgiliaith on behalf of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol.

A series of video clips to educate young people about the various career options available within the health and care sector in Wales. The aim is to increase students interest in the sector and raise awareness of the importance of the Welsh language within this field. The resources were developed by Coleg Cambria. 

This article explores the reasons for the low number of learners studying through the medium of Welsh and bilingually in the Further Education sector, focusing on vocational learners. It suggests recommendations to improve the situation in the context of the Welsh Government’s target of a million Welsh speakers by 2050. The research is based on semi- structured interviews with staff in schools and Further Education colleges, and on focus groups with Year 11 pupils, in four areas across Wales. The study found that economic, cultural and educational factors influence learners’ choices. The article proposes a language awareness programme as a means of expanding the discourse of Welsh as an instrument of employability and the discourse of the advantages of bilingualism to encompass social advantages.
