Sectoral Qualifications Framework for the Energy Industry (SQFE)

The Sectoral Qualifications Framework for the Energy Industry (SQFE) is a tool to support competence development for employers and employees in the energy sector. It is a structured set of competences representing the main areas of work and business activity in the sector.

The proposed SQFE can be used in energy industry companies to improve human resources processes and to help employees determine their career paths and further professional development. It can also be a useful tool for education and training institutions in preparing their curricula.

The publication presents information on the project developing the proposed Sectoral Qualifications Framework for the Energy Industry as well as on the resulting framework itself. It presents, among others: the context of developing SQFE, a description of project implementation and methodology, the structure of the framework and instructions on its use, recommendations on implementing and using SQFE in Poland, as well as a glossary of relevant terms.

The annex presents the proposed SQFE – the set of hierarchized competences in the sector, written in the language of learning outcomes.
