Europass is a set of online tools to help users communicate their skills, qualifications and experiences and manage their career in a fast-changing world.
The new Europass offers a range of online ‘e-Portfolio’ tools and information for people of all ages, to manage their learning and career.
Guidance Counsellors can use Europass to support students and clients to:
- Create a free personal profile
- Highlight skills, qualifications and experiences
- Create CVs and cover letters
- Explore different job and learning opportunities around Europe (in progress)
- Find trusted national information and contact points on working and learning in Europe
As part of the new Europass, the Commission has also worked with 18 countries to pilot Europass Digital Credentials, which are authentic, tamper-proof digital credentials (e.g. qualifications, diplomas, certificates).
