What Europass is
Europass is a free collection of web tools and information for managing learning and careers. Its profile lets learners, workers, and job-seekers describe skills, search for jobs and learning opportunities, manage applications, and prepare CVs or cover letters. The CV builder uses profile information, offers design choices, and supports unlimited CV creation, storage, downloads, and sharing in 31 languages. A cover-letter editor supplies templates and stores letters in the Europass Library for sharing in the same 31 languages. The digital skills test produces a report describing average digital-skill level. CVs can be shared with EURES or other job boards, and EURAXESS users can import Europass information into their profile. European Digital Credentials for Learning can be stored and shared through Europass. The European Commission manages the site. It says data is protected by technical and organizational measures, with five-year retention periods for profile data after the last e-Portfolio login and credentials in the EDC wallet.
