Introduction to Europass
Purposes for which Europass can be used
The aim of Europass is to facilitate transnational learning and working within Europe. Europass provides reliable information on studying and working in different European countries by providing links to relevant European and national sources, helping users to find courses, jobs, guidance and support for the validation and recognition of their qualifications. The heart of the Europass portal is the ‘e-portfolio’, where users create a personal profile and reflect on their skills and competences and formulate interests and goals. All documents created on the portal, as well as all other job-relevant documents in the Europass Library are stored here. Users can choose whether they want to access the portal as non-registered (guest) users and use only the portal’s basic functions (creating CVs and cover letters in assorted designs) or whether they want to register on the portal to create a Europass profile and access tall of the portal's functions.
CCreating a CV or a profile as a guest may be an easy solution for those users who do not wish to use more advanced Europass features, or who do not wish to activate the two-factor authentication. However, it is important to note that all data entered through guest access will be erased immediately after you close your window or browser.
