The Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Food Processing (SQF FP) is a tool to support the competence development of employers and employees in the food processing sector. It is a structured set of competences representing the main areas of work and business activity in the sector. SQF FP can be used in food processing companies to improve human resources processes and to help employees and persons interested in working in the industry determine their educational and career paths and further professional development. It can also be a useful tool for education and training institutions in preparing their curricula for this industry. It is referenced to the Polish Qualifications Framework, which in turn is referenced to the European Qualifications Framework, making it a reliable tool in assessing the competences of persons seeking employment in the industry across Europe.The publication presents information on the process of developing the Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Food Processing, describing the context of its development, how the work on the framework was organized and the methods used, its structure, instructions and recommendations on its use as well as a glossary of relevant terms. The last section presents the actual framework – the set of hierarchized competences in the sector, categorized by knowledge, skills and social competence, written in the language of learning outcomes.
