The Sectoral Qualifications Framework for the Fashion Industry identifies and defines the most important competences in the sector, as a tool to improve human resource processes in companies, help employees independently determine their career and learning pathways, and assist education and training institutions in developing their programs in this field. As with all SQFs, the Framework 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 this field across Europe.
Information is presented on the Framework’s development, its structure, and recommendations for its use, and includes a glossary of key industry terms. This Framework has 7 levels of increasing complexity, categorized by knowledge, skills and social competence in two main areas: 1) finished goods delivered to end users; and, 2) leather and textile raw materials processing. These areas are further divided into specific activities, such as, for area 1: artistic and technical design; the production process; quality control; needs of clients and the market; requirement of the goods; materials, accessories and preparations; technology. Area 2 covers the production process, quality control, product requirements, raw materials and chemicals, technology, and environmental protection.
