Europass profile

What is Europass profile?

Europass profile is an online space where users can provide information about themselves in order to present themselves to potential employers or education institutions. This includes personal data, data on education and training, work experience, skills gained in different contexts, etc. The Europass profile is designed to record all the skills and experiences users have had so far. The Europass profile can be created in more than one language, depending on the users’ needs. The skills and experiences listed in the profile can be regularly and easily updated, so that they are instantly available.

On the Europass portal users can:

  • Create a Europass profile in one or multiple languages,
  • Edit the information in their Europass profiles at any time or add new versions in new languages,
  • Share their Europass profiles with third parties,
  • Create guest Europass profiles.

Attention: Do not confuse a Europass profile with a Europass CV!

Europass profile is designed to be comprehensive, that is, it records all your experiences to date. The profile is available to registered users through the Europass portal only and cannot be saved to their computer or mobile devices. Users can use the data from their Europass profile to create a large number of CVs through the Europass portal for different types of job opportunities. Each CV is tailored to a particular opportunity and can be shortened as required. For this reason, the Europass CV is less comprehensive than the Europass profile, and the goal is to “filter” the information within it, selecting only the parts which are important for the purpose for which the CV is to be used. Each of the created Europass CVs can be stored on users’ devices, in different applications, in the Europass Library, and can be shared through a link. All Europass users are recommended to register on the portal and create their Europass profile, as this will enable the best user experience.
