To succeed on the labour market, you have to be able to present your skills and qualifications in a professional way. The Europass was created for this very purpose.
The Europass is a portfolio consisting of five different types of documents. It gives all European citizens a clear and standardised means of presenting the capabilities and skills they have acquired in school, at university or while studying or training abroad. A total of  31 European countries are participating in the Europass Initiative.
The five types of documents making up the Europass are as follows:
-
The Europass CV (Curriculum Vitae) is a standard form for creating a CV that provides a comprehensive and standardised overview of the holder’s work experience and education.
-
The Europass Language Passport clearly presents the holder’s language proficiency.
-
The Europass Mobility is an instrument for documenting education and work experience gained in one of the other European countries participating in the Europass Initiative.
-
The Europass Certificate Supplement is a document meant to accompany a vocational education and training certificate. It describes the skills and qualifications acquired in the course of the training programme to which it applies.
-
The Europass Diploma Supplement contains detailed information about the higher education diploma or degree earned by its holder.
The Europass was established by the Europass Decision of 15 December 2004.
