Just before you continue your questioning, Luke, Hefin, you indicated you wanted to come in here. You are down as a principal questioner on this section, so do you want to wait until then, or do you want to come in now, before Luke finishes his questions?

Hefin, just a minute, if I may, there is some background noise coming in from somewhere. I'm not sure if someone's got a dog or something in the room, but it sounds like a bit of snoring going on.

Okay. Thank you. Just on the regional skills partnerships, how important a role do they play, obviously, in dealing with your work, engaging with your work and, obviously, helping to deliver as broad a spectrum as possible of apprenticeship opportunities…

Yes. Well, I'm just interested in that statement about innovative business engagement, yes.
23 Ionawr 2025 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau
But, that's quite standard, isn't it? Is there something specific that you could say is innovative, and that you stand out in your way of working that we could say is best practice and doesn't happen elsewhere, with careers advice?

Llwybrau prentisiaeth - Panel 3 - Gwybodaeth am Brentisiaethau
Thank you for that, Nerys. I just read your paper and, in the paper, you talk of your innovative business engagement activities. Could you tell us what's innovative about them, rather than just standard?

Thank you all very much. I'll begin the questioning, if I may. In February of last year, the Welsh Government gave a statement on apprenticeships, the priorities and what they wanted to see delivered in the field of apprenticeships. Medr obviously came into…
