Europass

Europass is a European Union (Directorate General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion) initiative to increase transparency of qualifications and mobility of citizens in Europe.[1] It aims to make a person's skills and qualifications clearly understood throughout Europe (including the European Union, European Economic Area and EU candidate countries).

The Europass platform offers digital tools and services such as the Europass profile, Curriculum Vitae (CV) builder, Cover Letter editor, Digital skill self assessment tool, the European Digital Credentials for learning, the job and skill trends tool as well as information related learning and working in Europe, Europass Mobility, Certificate Supplement, and Diploma Supplement, sharing a common brand name and logo.[2] Since 2012 individuals have been able to assemble all Europass documents in the European Skills Passport.[3] In July 2020, the new Europass platform was launched where users can register and create their Europass account, a personal and secure online space to record all their skills, qualifications, achievements and experiences. This platform aims to be a lifelong learning and career management tool for its users.
