Roedd yn gyfle gwerthfawr i ymgysylltu ag ymgeiswyr, ac i roi trosolwg o'r blaenoriaethau allweddol ar gyfer addysg uwch yng Nghymru.
Diolch i bawb a fynychodd.

Byddai ehangu prentisiaethau gradd y tu hwnt i'r fframweithiau presennol yn eu galluogi i chwarae rhan fwy arwyddocaol wrth ddiwallu anghenion sgiliau Cymru yn y dyfodol.
Dyma pam rydym yn galw am adolygiad annibynnol o'r system prentisiaethau gradd.

Expanding degree apprenticeships beyond the current frameworks would enable them to play a more significant role in meeting the future skills needs of Wales.
This is why we are calling for an independent review of the degree apprenticeships system.

Degree apprenticeships are an important part of the higher-level skills pipeline in Wales.
However, the existing system is not agile enough to respond to the rapid changes in skills demanded by Wales’ evolving economy.🧵
