TODAY at the National Eisteddfod, the Welsh Language Commissioner and the National Centre for Learning Welsh will announce a new partnership aimed at increasing Welsh skills in the workplace. The Commissioner's Cynnig Cymraeg (Welsh Offer) scheme gives any company or charity who don’t come under the Welsh Language Standards the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to the language by developing specific plans. Over 120 have already been approved, and they include the Welsh Rugby Union, Principality Building Society and supermarkets Aldi and Lidl.
From today onwards, recipients of the Cynnig Cymraeg will also be allowed to join the National Centre for Learning Welsh’s Work Welsh scheme. The scheme aims to increase Welsh skills in workplaces, by tailoring a programme of relevant training. The programme involves running an audit of employee’s Welsh skills, and the Centre then puts together a package of suitable Welsh learning training – from taster courses and self-study courses, to intensive courses and confidence building courses.
