The Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol along with CollegesWales held an online panel event, in the form of a Zoom webinar, with politicians from the three main parties in Wales to discuss the contribution of the post-16 sector to the aim of creating a bilingual workforce and communities and a million Welsh speakers by 2050.
