"Rwy'n falch iawn o weld y cynllun WVEP yn cael ei ymestyn i ysgolion ar draws Blaenau Gwent a Merthyr Tudful – mae llwyddiant y rhaglen hyd yma yn dyst i ymdrechion ysgolion a chyflogwyr i ehangu cyfleoedd i bobl ifanc yn y rhan hon o Gymru,  ac mae’n wych gweld hyn yn mynd o nerth i nerth.
“I’m very pleased to see the extension of WVEP to schools across Blaenau Gwent and Merthyr Tydfil – the success of the programme thus far is testament to the effort which schools and employers have put in to widening opportunities for young people in this part of Wales, and I’m delighted to see it going from strength to strength.
