From September 2014, the 3 strands of CETS (CETS ETB/Solas, ASCC and CE CETS) have operated as separate programmes under the heading of Training and Employment Childcare (TEC) Programmes.The TEC Programmes consists of:

• Strand 1 – The Childcare Education and Training Support Programme(CETS);
• Strand 2 – The After-School Childcare Programme (ASCC)
• Strand 3 – The Community Employment Childcare Programme (CEC)

The objective of the TEC funding programme is to support parents on eligible training courses and eligible categories of parents returning to work, by providing subsidised childcare places.  The allocation of childcare places under the Programme is managed by the Department, via the City and County Childcare Committees (CCCs) and local childcare service providers.
