Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Information Technology (SQF IT)
This publication presents information on the development of the Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Information Technology, carried out in 2014−2015. A project was initiated to develop a sectoral qualifications framework that would elaborate the level descriptors of the Polish Qualifications Framework for the information technology sector.The work undertaken to develop sectoral qualifications frameworks was the basis for initiating joint, intensive activities in the IT sector so that its qualifications would not be found at the margins of the current mechanisms being implemented in Poland to maintain the value of employees in the labour market and facilitate lifelong learning.
Sectoral Qualifications Framework for TOURISM (SQFT)
The Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Tourism is one of the largest. As the sector is complex and diverse, it comprises four sub-frameworks describing other levels and qualifications. Its authors have emphasised that numerous other sub-frameworks will be required for subsequent areas. “Our framework is entirely different from those set up for the banking or sports area, for example. People tend to believe that a sector is no different from an industry, but there are multi-industry sectors out there, tourism being one of them. This is how we ended up with a framework consisting of four sub-frameworks,” says Professor Hanna Zawistowska of the Chair of Tourism of the Warsaw School of Economics, leader of the Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Tourism development project.Sectoral Qualifications Framework for BANKING (SQFB)
Banks: we look forward to implementation of our framework“Banks have seized the opportunity presented by development of the Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Banking and we are now hungry for more and look forward to its implementation,” admits Mariola Szymańska-Koszczyc of the Warsaw Banking Institute, the substantive manager of the SQFB project. It was the first sectoral framework designed in Poland – for the banking sector, whose community was enthusiastically contributing to its creation. The framework will become an element of the Polish and the European Qualifications Framework, which will enormously enhance mobility on this labour market.
Sectoral Qualifications Framework: Telecommunications
Efficient, state-of-the-art, generally accessible telecommunication systems are required for purposes of all social and economic development.

The Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Telecommunications (SQF Tele) is to assist in the process of creating modern, transparent, and comparable forms of education, validation, and qualifications certification in the telecommunications sector.
Polish Qualifications Framework
The modernization of Polish qualifications initiated with the enactment of the Act of 22 December 2015 on the Integrated Qualifications System (Journal of Laws 2016, item 64) is based on the adoption of common principles governing the qualifications operating in different areas. The integrated system consists of elements that already function in Polish society and its economy, as well as new instruments, to effectively integrate the entire system.
