Beth yw eich moment fwyaf balch yng Ngrŵp CAVC?

What is your proudest moment at CAVC Group?

Chwarae rhan yn y gwaith o gymryd Coleg oedd mewn safle yn y canol yn 2011 i fod yn Brif Goleg AB Cymru a'r pedwerydd mwyaf yn y DU gyda throsiant bellach dros £100m ynghyd â chyfraddau llwyddiant a chwblhau rhagorol. Mae'r llwyddiant hwn wedi'i adeiladu ar sefydlu tîm rhagorol ar bob lefel tra bod caffael ACT ac ALS yn rhoi hwb gwirioneddol i'r grŵp ac yn ychwanegu deinameg newydd at ein rhagolygon a'n darpariaeth.

Playing a part in taking a mid-ranking College in 2011 to become the leading Welsh FE College and the fourth largest in the UK with a turnover now in excess of £100m combined with excellent success and completion rates. This success has been built on establishing an outstanding team at all levels while the acquisition of ACT and ALS gave the group real impetus and added a fresh dynamic to our outlook and delivery. More recently it has been heart-warming to hear staff across the Group looking out for one another and for the learners. The volunteers from ACT and CAVC who have worked on the food banks and delivery of Christmas parcels to vulnerable learners have been amazing and I am really proud of you all.

Yn fwy diweddar, mae wedi bod yn galonogol clywed staff ar draws y Grŵp yn edrych allan am ei gilydd ac am y dysgwyr. Mae'r gwirfoddolwyr o ACT a CAVC sydd wedi gweithio ar y banciau bwyd a dosbarthu parseli Nadolig i ddysgwyr bregus wedi bod yn anhygoel ac rwy'n falch iawn ohonoch i gyd.

Beth yw'r her fwyaf rydych chi'n teimlo sy'n wynebu Grŵp CAVC?

What’s the biggest challenge you feel CAVC Group faces?

Ar hyn o bryd, yr her fwyaf yw dod â storm COVID i ben, ac rydym wedi gwneud hynny'n wych hyd yma ond mae'n dod ag effeithiau canlyniadol sylweddol. Mae wedi bod yn ymdrech enfawr gan bawb ac mae'r ymateb wedi bod yn rhyfeddol er mwyn sicrhau dysgu parhaus. Mae her bob amser o ran cyllid ac nid wyf yn gweld hynny'n newid unrhyw bryd yn fuan. Mae diwygiadau arfaethedig Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer Addysg a Hyfforddiant Ôl-orfodol (PCET) yn her ac yn bryder ond rwyf am adael hynny yma gan y byddai angen traethawd hir i esbonio'r gwahanol fanteision ac anfanteision. Mae rhagor o wybodaeth ar gael yma.

Currently the biggest challenge is to weather the COVID storm which so far, we have done brilliantly but it does bring significant knock on effects. It has been a huge effort by all and the response has been remarkable in order to ensure continuous learning. There is always a challenge around finance and I don't see that changing any time soon. The Welsh Government’s proposed Post Compulsory Education and Training (PCET) reforms are a challenge and a concern but I will leave that here as it would require a lengthy essay to explain the various pros and cons.
