European Union - Creating key documents for applying for work in the EU
Processing Request
There are many ways that a person can document their qualifications, skills and work experience when applying for work. The difficulty is finding a format that displays your information clearly and concisely. The European Commission in collaboration with CEDFOP have created a website, EUROPASS, that helps you with this problem.
EUROPASS provides set forms for you to create a portfolio (Skills Passport) of all the documents you will need when applying for work:
-
Europass CV - tools to help you compose your CV so your skills and qualifications are presented effectively and clearly
-
Europass Language Passport - a self-assessment tool for language skills and qualifications (examples). Instructions are provided to help with the assessment.
-
Europass Mobility - records knowledge and skills acquired in another European country (examples).
-
Europass Diploma Supplement - provides additional information to that included in the official degrees / diplomas and/or transcript, making it more easily understood, especially by employers or institutions outside the issuing country (examples).
-
Europass Certificate Supplement - document describing the knowledge and skills acquired by holders of vocational training certificates (examples)
