Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Trade (SQFT)

The Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Trade is a tool to support employers and employees of the trade sector in developing competences. Its aim is to improve human resources processes in companies and to help employees independently determine their career and learning pathways.

The publication presents information on the design of the Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Trade (SQFT), such as: the development context of the SQFT, how the work was conducted and the methodology used, the structure of the framework, recommendations for using the SQFT in Poland, as well as a glossary of key terms. The annex contains the SQFT level descriptors − the set of general descriptions characterising the knowledge, skills and social competences required of qualifications at a given level.

The SQFT may be used in many ways:

to develop educational programmes in the trade sector, both in formal and non-formal
education;
to verify and validate the individual competences that actually exist in trade relating
to specific work tasks or job positions;
to enable HR departments to clearly define the requirements to be met for job positions
within a company;
to support self-learning by employees and trade adepts.
