What Europass is

Europass is a free set of web tools and information for managing learning and careers, aimed at learners, workers, and job-seekers across Europe. Its profile helps users describe skills, find jobs and learning opportunities, manage applications, and create CVs and cover letters. Users can make as many CVs as they want from profile information, select a design, and download, store, or share them in 31 languages. The cover letter editor provides templates, with letters stored and shared through the Europass Library in 31 languages. A digital skills test produces a report describing the user's average digital skills level. CVs can be shared with EURES and other job boards, and EURAXESS users can import information from Europass into their profile. Users can also store and share European Digital Credentials for Learning. The European Commission manages the site through its Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion. The Commission says personal data is held on its servers with technical and organisational safeguards. Profile data is kept for five years after the last login to e-Portfolio content, and credentials remain in the EDC wallet for five years.
