Skills for Work: Working in Wales
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Working in Wales is a Skills for Work unit about the job market in Wales: key job sectors and employers, how Welsh sectors link to the wider UK and global economy, why Welsh language skills matter at work and the role of the Welsh Language Commissioner, and the skills needed in sectors with high demand. It is one 10 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Work or Skills for Life and Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Digital demand is low: no criterion requires digital work, which sits in suggested online research, source logs, comparison tables and presentations.

Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 10 guided learning hours.
- Level 1 and Level 2: Four learning outcomes (the job market in Wales, key employment sectors and their links to the international economy, the importance of the Welsh language in Welsh workplaces, skills needed to work in Wales), with assessment criteria at Level 1 and Level 2. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 10 guided learning hours.

Searching online for jobs and sectors in Wales
Learners search digital sources, such as Careers Wales future jobs information, to find out about current and future jobs, employers and key employment sectors in Wales. At Entry Level this is supported research into local businesses and future jobs, and at Level 1 and Level 2 it is more detailed research into sectors of interest. The research feeds the assessed criteria on sectors, employers and high demand jobs, but searching online is suggested, not required.

Searching job adverts for Welsh language requirements
At Level 1 and Level 2 learners must identify employment sectors where Welsh is required or highly desired and give examples of where Welsh is used. The pack suggests they do this by searching current online job adverts in Wales. The criteria are assessed, but the online search is a suggested way of gathering the examples.
DCF: Cyrchu, chwilio a chynllunio cynnwys digidol

Keeping a source log and acknowledging sources, including AI
The pack lists a source log of resources and research notes and screenshots of research activities as possible portfolio evidence. The specification says AI tools may be used only when properly referenced, and failing to acknowledge AI is malpractice. Keeping a log is suggested, not required, but every learner must acknowledge any source or AI tool they use.

Comparing job sectors in a table
Comparison is required by the criteria: at Entry 3 learners compare two jobs, and at Level 2 they compare two job sectors in Wales and compare why there is high demand in each. The pack suggests using tables to compare sectors, and completed comparison tables are listed as evidence. Making the table on screen is a suggested method, not a requirement.

Presenting research findings digitally
Evidence may be verbal, written, practical or visual, and the pack lists presentations of research findings and recordings of role plays or discussions as possible evidence. A learner could present their findings on Welsh sectors or the Welsh Language Commissioner as slides or a recording. This is one optional way to evidence the criteria, not a requirement.

Da gwybod
- Each level has its own unit code: "Unit Codes S669E1" through S669L2, and the unit is worth "GLH 10" (Unit overview, page 3).
- No special equipment is needed: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources" (Resources required for assessment, page 12), and delivery uses "standard classroom environments" (page 11).
- Evidence can be digital or spoken: "While evidence may be verbal, written, practical, or visual, extended written work is not required unless appropriate" and possible evidence includes "screenshots of research activities" (Sources of evidence, page 11).
- The portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" and evidence types include "video/audio recordings" and "photographic evidence" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory". Teachers may use, adapt or replace them (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools may be used "When properly referenced", but misuse includes "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.6, page 21).
- Where a criterion uses a plural without a number, "a plural reference within assessment criterion refers to a minimum of two" (pages 5 and 7).
- Only the highest level achieved counts: "only the highest level of the unit achieved will count towards the GLH" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 2.2, page 10).
