There is no specific budget for the Training and Employment Childcare programme, it is incorporated within the National Childcare Scheme (NCS) budget.

The Training and Employment Childcare (TEC) programme budgets are approved by programme year, as opposed to calendar year. Included in the below tables are the 2019/20 and 2020/21 programme year allocations for the TEC programme with payments made in the calendar years 2020 and 2021.

After the 2020/21 programme year, TEC finished as a standalone programme. From the 2021/22 programme year, this moved to an allocation under CCSP, as ‘CCSP- TEC Final Year’. The total value of approved registration for the 2021/22 programme year has been included, along with the value of payments made in the year 2021 only.
