- Caiff mentor ei neilltuo i ymgeiswyr llwyddiannus i roi cyngor ar ddatblygiad eu gyrfa ym maes coedwigaeth. Efallai y bydd gweithwyr dan hyfforddiant yn gweithio fel tîm, fel unigolion neu yn cael eu lleoli gyda chontractwr cymeradwy presennol gan Tilhill ar sail asesiad o’u galluoedd.
- Ar ôl cwblhau’r cwrs, bydd modd gwneud cais am unrhyw swyddi gwag sydd ar gael yn Tilhill.
