Summary/Abstract: The article presents the framework and results of research on the skills demand in Poland. The author used data from job offers published by employers, data from the Study of Human Capital in Poland, data from other, one-time research and the conclusions in the documents of selected institutions. The results show that there is a great need for systematic studies on the skills demand at a detailed level. The most frequently demanded transversal skills in Poland were those in the field of verbal communication, as well as attitudes and values at work. In contrast to transversal skills, the demand for job-related competences of candidates for employment has undergone significant structural changes in 2010–2015 in favour of vocational education. In the future, one should expect an increase in the importance of creativity and emotional intelligence among the basic or key competences.
