Funding is provided by my Department for a range of Further Education and Training programmes many of which are open to young people aged 16 and over. A breakdown of the amount spent on youth education across these programmes is not available but the amount of funding made available for the Youthreach and Community Training Centre (CTC) programmes which are specifically for young people aged mainly in the 16 to 21 age group is listed in the following tables.
Funding was provided to Vocational Education Committees (VECs) for the Youthreach programme until the setting up of the Education and Training Boards (ETBs) in 2013. Funding was provided by FÁS for the CTC programme until its dissolution in 2013. CTCs are now funded by the 16 ETBs.
