Cymraeg 2050
This is the Welsh Government’s flagship policy which aims to have one million Welsh speakers by 2050. Part of this is to “increase the emphasis on the workplace as a strategic location for promoting and facilitating an increased use of Welsh.” Bilingual funded apprenticeships are one of the ways in which workplaces can move towards this goal.
Employing bilingual apprentices or supporting your existing staff to develop and use their Welsh language skills can be beneficial for your business and help you stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace. A bilingual apprentice can help you develop your bilingual offering ensuring that you can provide a service that caters to the needs of all your customers, wherever they are in Wales.
