View answerThe National Training Fund (NTF) was established in 2000 to raise the skills of those in employment and to provide training to those who wish to acquire skills to take up employment. It is also used to provide information in relation to existing, or likely future, requirements for skills in the economy. NTF income includes National Training Levy receipts, European Social Fund refunds and European Globalisation Funds.
The information the Deputy has requested is set out in the table.
