3. THE EUROPASS PLATFORM: OTHER FUNCTIONALITY

1. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY FOR REGISTERED USERS

1.3. LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND JOB OFFERS

Registered users can, based on the selected settings in their Europass profile and the information in their My Skills and My Interests sections, get recommendations for learning opportunities and job offers published on EURES.

At the moment, Europass is interoperable with the following key services and tools:

    • EURES – Europass can be integrated with EURES, allowing users to directly share their Europass CVs and profiles with employers across Europe.
    • ESCO (European Skills, Competences, Qualifications, and Occupations) – Europass uses ESCO's standardized terms to describe skills, competencies, and occupations, improving transparency and job matching.
    • Learning Opportunities and Qualifications – Europass is connected to limited databases of learning opportunities and qualifications designed to help users find educational programs across Europe.
    • National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs) – Europass aligns with NQFs to provide clear and comparable descriptions of qualifications.

The recommendations are currently not yet fully optimised, especially for Learning Opportunities and Qualifications, since qualifications and learning opportunities databases are at different stages of development in different European countries. Recommendations are shown for countries that already have their national data sources connected to Europass and for areas that are defined in the My Interests section.

Settings for receiving learning and work opportunities can be changed any time, in case users wish or no longer wish to receive learning and work recommendations, or if they simply wish to update them.
