Europass, a service by the European Commission, aids individuals in the labor market and lifelong learning through a portfolio of documents accessible on the Europass portal. It includes tools like Europass CV, Language Portfolio, and Diploma Supplement to showcase skills and qualifications. With over 2 million online creations since 2005, Europass continues to evolve to meet user needs, such as direct upload onto the EURES database and expanding personal skills sections. The Europass Mobility initiative issues documents for learning mobility and youth activities, with developments like online completion tools and expanded skills sections. An external evaluation is underway, aiming to enhance the Europass service for European citizens. Visit http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu for more information and resources.
