2023 saw Darogan move from an ambitious project run by students, to a fully-fledged venture with the resource and backing behind it to start delivering on its promise.
Our following on social media and our website traffic has grown significantly, and we've made big improvements to the service, especially the website.
We've helped organisations in Wales to better understand the skills and talent landscape they are facing, and we've helped organisations reach student and graduates across the UK.
So, since we are in the festive season, with the twelve days of Christmas in mind, I thought I would share twelve of Darogan's achievements from 2023.
Here we go!
Twelve months with a full-time employee (that's me!)
Eleven fairs and engagement events attended (some highlights were M-Sparc's Ar y Lon Don event in the House of Lords, Wales Tech Week by Technology Connected, and Bangor University's Careers fair)
Ten months left of our ARFOR project (find out more here) which has kicked off!
Nine-teen blogs on the website about the student and graduate landscape in Wales
Eight months consulting for the Venture Graduate Programme
Seven appearances on television, radio and print
Six events with student groups based outside of Wales
Five website users from Finland in the last 28 days (perhaps from Lapland!) - we're going global!
Four new employer partners since November (Flintshire Council, Menter a Busnes, Audit Wales and Cyngor Gwynedd)
Three shareholders thanks to Equal’s investment (read more here)
Two employees recruited for 2024
and (of course)
One graduate hub for Wales
It's been a great 2023, but this has all happened with just one person on the team working full time.
In 2024 there will be three of us, and perhaps even more by the end of the year, with exciting projects already lined up.
Imagine what we'll be able to achieve!

Yn 2023 symudodd Darogan o fod yn brosiect uchelgeisiol oedd yn cael ei redeg gan fyfyrwyr, i fenter lawn gyda’r adnodd a’r gefnogaeth i ddechrau cyflawni yr hyn addawyd.
Mae ein dilynwyr ar gyfryngau cymdeithasol a thraffig ein gwefan wedi cynyddu'n sylweddol, ac rydym wedi gwneud gwelliannau mawr i'r gwasanaeth, yn enwedig y wefan.
Rydym wedi helpu sefydliadau yng Nghymru i ddeall yn well y dirwedd sgiliau a thalent y maent yn eu hwynebu, ac rydym wedi helpu sefydliadau i gyrraedd myfyrwyr a graddedigion ledled y DU.
Felly, gan ein bod yn nhymor y Nadolig, gyda deuddeg diwrnod y Nadolig mewn golwg, meddyliais y byddwn yn rhannu deuddeg o gyflawniadau Darogan o 2023.

Mae 2023 wedi bod yn wych, ond mae hyn i gyd wedi digwydd gyda dim ond un person ar y tîm yn gweithio'n llawn amser.
Yn 2024 bydd tri ohonom, ac efallai hyd yn oed mwy erbyn diwedd y flwyddyn, gyda phrosiectau cyffrous eisoes ar y gweill.
Dychmygwch yr hyn y gallwn ei gyflawni!
