Introduction to Europass

Presenting your skills and qualifications

The heart of the Europass Portal is the ‘e-portfolio’ where the user creates a personal profile, developing an awareness of his/her competences, formulate interests and goals and then uses this to search for jobs and further education.

Very important: In order to create your Europass profile, you need to register to be able to use all the portal's functions.

In the My Skills section of your Europass, you can build an overview of your skillset. Europass will analyse the information in the profile and provide you with a useful list of skills, knowledge and abilities that reflect your experience.
In the My Interests section of your Europass you can define your learning and career goals and personal interests, including activities and topics you want to focus, and where the user wants to achieve these goals.
With the Digital competences self-assessment tool digital competences can be realistically assessed and practically tested with an online test. The user receives the result of the test as a PDF document which can be saved to a Europass profile and stored online in his/her Europass library. The tool is based on the European framework for digital competences.
In your Personal Library, you can also easily save certificates, work samples and CVs you have already created.
Use Europass Mobility supplement templates to record the results of your learning stays abroad.
