• “Rhagweld sgiliau’r dyfodol a newidiadau yn y farchnad yw’r blaenoriaethau allweddol i wledydd sy’n mynd drwy gyfnod o newid economaidd, os ydynt am i’w system hyfforddi fod yn effeithiol ac os ydynt am i gwmnïau fod yn gystadleuol neu barhau i fod yn gystadleuol”.

“Anticipating future skills and market changes are the key

priorities for countries in transition, if they want their

training system to be responsive and they want companies to become or

remain competitive”
