Summary/Abstract: On the Polish ground there are currently 132 professions corresponding to a giventype of craft in a dozen or so branches. They are characterized by pluriformity of hard, i.e.professional qualifications and a common set of personal and social competences for apprentices,as well as soft and pedagogical competences for masters – defined in the standards of examinationrequirements for masters in crafts. The system of vocational preparation and confirmation ofqualifications in crafts is not usually exposed in society, teachers – and consequently careercounsellors – still have too little knowledge on this subject. Craft in pedagogy is often reduced tothe history of education in the Middle Ages (education in a foreign home). There is still a lack ofa coherent vision of crafts and their role in education, employment and economy policies. Project“Developing, supplementing and updating information on occupations and its dissemination withthe use of modern communication tools INFODORADCA+” thanks to broad involvement ofcraftsmen and crafts organizations in the creation of descriptions – can be a real response to thediagnosed information gap. The consultations on a model description of professions conductedfrom the very beginning with the participation of representatives of the craftsmanship broughtto light specific information on craftsmanship training – including the specificity of individualprofessions, learning and further training in the profession, as well as the confirmation of thequalifications of journeymen and masters.
