More and more employers view the Welsh language as a skill needed in the workplace, especially within the public sector, where there is requirement and demand for a bilingual service.

Every year scores of people attend Welsh classes to improve their career prospects, and this is why: o Employees with Bilingual Skills are more likely to earn between 8-10% more than those with no bilingual skills*;
o Welsh language skills are an important asset to all public sector organisations;
o As the number of Welsh speakers continues to increase, demand for service through the medium of Welsh will also grow.
(* Henley, A Jones, R.E. Earnings and Linguistic Proficiency in a Bilingual Economy 2003.)

There is so much demand from people interested in learning Welsh for work that we've developed courses specifically for people who want to learn Welsh for their job.

This means you can also share the enjoyment and challenges of learning with your workmates. It really is fun learning with colleagues!

If it is not possible for you to learn at work, you can still get what you need by enrolling on a Welsh for Adults class provided by us.

There are courses available at all times of the day to suit your personal commitments. Contact your centre to arrange a course that best suits you.

If at the moment you simply haven't the time to invest in long-term Welsh-language training, your Welsh for Adults Centre can deliver short courses to teach a few simple phrases... like saying good morning and good afternoon to customers in Welsh.

It may not feel like much, but customers will really appreciate your efforts to use the language And if your customers are happy, then that's got to go down well with the boss!
