✨Ar nos Sadwrn, buodd Claire yn cwrdd lan gyda 6 o'r 8 Prentis CRIW wnaeth ein gadael ni'r flwyddyn yma!

O'r chwith i'r dde Emily Newbold, Jake Finch, Lewis Hemmings, Mali Whitty, Morgan Powell a Rachel Lewis. Mae pob un yn gweithio yn eu hadrannau dewisol ar gynyrchiadau dros De Cymru!

Roedd Rob Cairns a Jordan Williams ar goll, ond dim ond oherwydd eu bod nhw'n gweithio ar gynyrchiadau ar ddydd Sadwrn!

Mae hefyd llun o Jordan ar leoliad yn ei grys T 'Sgil Cymru' ac fe gafon ni ymweliad gan Lewis a Jordan yn y swyddfa hefyd! Pleser i ddal i fyny gyda'n cyn-brentisiaid ac i glywed am eu holl lwyddiannau!

✨On Saturday evening, Claire met up with 6 of the 8 CRIW Apprentices who left us this year!

From left to right Emily Newbold, Jake Finch, Lewis Hemmings, Mali Whitty, Morgan Powell and Rachel Lewis. All are working in their chosen departments on productions across South Wales!

Rob Cairns and Jordan Williams were missing, but only because they were working on productions on Saturday!

There is also a picture of Jordan on location in his 'Sgil Cymru' T-shirt and we had a visit from Lewis and Jordan in the office too! Always a pleasure to catch up with our former apprentices and to hear about all their successes!

Well done Will!!

🎉Congratulations to Will Hougham, winner of the Skills for Work Award category.🎉

While much of the world was in lockdown, special effects apprentice Will Hougham continued to work and learn on-site at his employer, Real SFX, helping to prepare the company's new facility. His dedication and adaptability throughout this period led to the successful completion of his apprenticeship, which not only secured him a permanent position but also helped him overcome challenges with his mental health.

Da iawn Will!!!

🎉Llongyfarchiadau i Will Hougham, enillydd categori Gwobrau Sgiliau Gwaith!🎉

Tra bod llawer o’r byd mewn cyfnod clo, fe wnaeth y prentis effeithiau arbennig Will Hougham ddal ati i weithio a dysgu ar safle ei gyflogwr, Real SFX, gan helpu i baratoi adnoddau newydd y cwmni. Gorffennodd ei brentisiaeth yn llwyddiannus oherwydd ei ymroddiad a’i hyblygrwydd drwy gydol y cyfnod hwn, a wnaeth sicrhau swydd barhaol iddo a hefyd ei helpu i oresgyn heriau gyda’i iechyd meddwl.
