Dangosodd arolwg annibynnol diweddar fod bron i dri chwarter yr ymatebwyr wedi ennill cymhwyster o ganlyniad i hyfforddiant ESF, roedd tua dwy ran o dair o’r unigolion a oedd yn ddi-waith ynghynt a 30% o’r rheiny a oedd yn economaidd anweithgar mewn cyflogaeth o fewn 12 mis i gwblhau eu hyfforddiant ESF. Yn ychwanegol, roedd cyfranogwyr ESF di-waith, o’u cymharu â’r boblogaeth ehangach, tua 20% yn fwy tebygol o ddod o hyd i swydd nag unigolion di-waith nad oedd wedi dilyn hyfforddiant ESF.
While a recent independent survey found that almost three-quarters of respondents had gained a qualification as a result of ESF training, around two-thirds of previously unemployed individuals and 30% of those previously economically inactive were in employment within 12 months of completing their ESF training. In addition, unemployed ESF participants, compared with the wider population, were about 20% more likely to find a job than unemployed individuals who had not undertaken ESF training.
