		Continuous in-job education plays a meaningful role in the update of professional knowledge and skills needed to provide high quality  services.
		The positive attitude to constant education is currently perceived as a crucial characteristic of a worker which allows for development of professional career. Moreover, the educational policy builds strength of an institution at the labor market. The following paper presents the concept of continuous in-job education of professionals providing care for elderly people in social care institutions in Poland. It promotes the idea of a new profession of coordinator of in-job education – a person responsible for educational needs assessment and training plan development in Polish social care facilities. On top of this, the article provides the outline of a systematic approach to strategy of professionals’ in-job education including: educational needs diagnosis, structured training plan, training implementation and outcomes evaluation. The paper was written in the frames of the ComPro project.
