Sgiliaith
Our aim is to offer practical advice on good practice, staff training and resource, to enhance learners' bilingual skills and experiences.
The provision offered includes a variety of professional development opportunities for practitioners in different roles and on different levels in the post-14 education sector.
We play a supportive role as colleges implement various action plans and strategies around bilingualism in response to Government and other organisational steers. We assist the colleges’ senior managers as they consider the next stage of positive development. As a result we also offer professional training in bilingual teaching and embedding the Welsh language to the colleges’ staff. This development means that more staff will be able to offer a bilingual education to their learners.
The Welsh-medium video conference provision complements Sgiliaith’s core mission in that it combines the principle of extending curriculum provision in Welsh or bilingually through the medium of Welsh and English with innovative delivery. Video conferencing provision from Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor to external schools and colleges was launched with CIF project funding in 2006. We have staff working from Pwllheli and Dolgellau.

Sgiliaith Courses - National Staff Development Scheme
The purpose of Sgiliaith’s National Staff Development Programme is to support practitioners to offer Welsh medium and bilingual provision to both learners and apprentices.
Sgiliaith’s development opportunities are suitable for everyone working in the sector, regardless of Welsh language skills or previous experience.
Sgiliaith’s Staff Development Training Programme offers a range of development opportunities to support the progression of practitioners’ bilingual skills, whilst Sgiliaith’s Staff Mentoring Programme offers support to practitioners in real learning situations to embed Welsh/bilingualism in the classroom or workplace.
The development opportunities are delivered by Sgiliaith on behalf of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol following the expansion of their role to include the Further Education and Apprenticeships sectors and a new national strategy launched in 2019. The provision is funded for practitioners in the Further Education and Apprenticeships sector.
