Why is using Welsh in the world of work important?
The Welsh language belongs to everyone in Wales – if you are fluent or if you only have a few words.
Being able to speak Welsh and English will be very helpful to you in the future.
Speaking Welsh opens doors for you;
- There will be more opportunties for you to make friends and to socialise if you speak Welsh
- By speaking Welsh and English, you can be part of two cultures
- By speaking Welsh, more jobs will be available to you
- Two languages – double the choice
You have an advantage – use your Welsh

Apprentice Experience

Poppy encourages others to follow an apprenticeship path
“As a Welsh-speaking apprentice, I have been given many opportunities and been open to experiences that have helped me. This has helped me to get a full-time job with my employer, Carmarthenshire Council. I am now working full time as a digital co-ordinator for the council’s children and families service.”
Come to meet Ceris, a Highways and Municipal Civil Engineer Apprentice
“After leaving secondary school, I went to study Design and Technology at Cardiff Metropolitan University. I was there for a year, but I decided towards the end of the year that it wasn’t for me. So, I came home, and I saw that Gwynedd Council was offering a new apprenticeship scheme, and I applied. This was going to be a brilliant opportunity for me to restart my career path, and I love it here.“
