Yr heriau sy’n wynebu gweithlu’r diwydiant creadigol yng Nghymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda sefydliadau’r diwydiannau sgrin
Okay. Does anybody else want to come in before I ask my last question?

Yr heriau sy’n wynebu gweithlu’r diwydiant creadigol yng Nghymru: Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda sefydliadau’r diwydiannau sgrin
Most of what I wanted to ask, Chair, has been addressed. I wanted to ask about skills and training opportunities, which have been discussed at length. I'd just like to ask very briefly about the Welsh Government's new creative skills action plan, and whether…

Okay. And I think the creative skills action plan was announced—this is my last question, Chair, I just want to make sure that we're keeping to time—the creative skills action plan was announced in September, will it sufficiently identify and mitigate those…

And colleges themselves, as well, how do they interact with the industry? I understand that a number of teaching staff would be from the industry, but is there a structure in place to ensure that programmes are developed with that in mind?

But an institution, like a further education or higher education institution would be able to design a programme that would take account of that, but it would need collaboration, wouldn't it?

So, if there's going to be an industry input, you need the sector working closely with further and higher education institutions, with schools to develop, particularly, perhaps, vocational pathways. to develop, particularly, perhaps, vocational pathways. Do…

Can the panel just give me some opinions on how the education sector can better develop a pathway for qualifications that better reflect a career in the creative industries? That's deliberately broad, by the way—[Laughter.]

So, with that in mind then, you talk about the journey that apprentices go on, and mature apprentices, do you think that there's a place for degree apprenticeships, and what form should they take, given that, if you're going to have a long-term route out of…

And with all of this packaged together, do you think it's feasible to say that the Welsh Government's target of 125,000 apprenticeships in this Senedd term is still achievable?

So, with that in mind, do you think that employers are finding, in this environment—is it harder to engage with employers, or find employers providing on-the-job training, as a result of some of these pressures?
24 Tachwedd 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Pwysau costau byw a'r Warant i Bobl Ifanc
Okay. A question for Lisa now. How are cost-of-living pressures affecting the apprenticeship programmes that your members deliver?
24 Tachwedd 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Pwysau costau byw a'r Warant i Bobl Ifanc
Okay. Yes, I think I got that. Okay, thanks. And the other thing that the evaluation said was that providers are supporting trainees with food and clothing. That pressure is surely going to increase on providers now. Do you have concerns about that?

Diolch, Gadeirydd. Just a question to the Learning and Work Institute. You said, during the 2015-19 evaluation of Welsh Government's traineeships programme, that Welsh Government should review the range of provision for young people. Do you feel that that is…

I was going to say that you've identified a supply side issue with the pupils not attending school, but the bigger issue, I think, is the fact that there's that lack of co-ordination below the age of 15—11 to 15 or even younger. Would you agree that that is a…

Can I just follow up on that? Can you account for the reason for that gap of information—why does that gap exist?
24 Tachwedd 2022 , Economy, Trade, and Rural Affairs Committee
Pwysau costau byw a'r Warant i Bobl Ifanc
Yes, please. I'd just like to reflect on what was just said, and, having had conversations across the further education sector, some of the frustrations the further education sector has—and this is no criticism of schools, but this seems to be the reality—is…
