The National Training Fund (NTF) was managed by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment from its inception in 2000 until 1 May 2010 when the function was transferred to my Department.
The tables outline the Training Levy receipts for the period 2000 to 2010 and the breakdown of the funding by programme type for the period 2002 to 2010, a breakdown is not available for 2000 and 2001.
The allocation of funding to Foras Aiseanna Saothair (FAS) is for such programmes as Apprenticeships under the Training in Employment heading and Community Training Centres, Local Training Initiatives (LTI), Specialist Providers for people with a disability and Specific Skills Training for Job Seekers.
Funding was provided to Skillnets to enable them to support private companies to increase their participation in enterprise training and to other bodies to support people in employment.
