Europass: 20 years of helping people learn and work in Europe

For 20 years, Europass has been helping millions of people in Europe to plan their learning and career - empowering them to document their skills, enhancing their mobility and connecting them with education and job opportunities. That’s right, today we celebrate 20 years of Europass. 

Created back in 2005, Europass helps with creating CVs, cover letters and in finding jobs and courses in the EU. It is a secure, online platform where you can record all your work, education and training experiences, helping you to plan for the next step in your career. 

One of the great features of life in the EU is freedom to move, live and work in any EU country. This freedom not only makes people’s lives easier, it also means more opportunities, and Europass is a free set of online tools to help you more easily seize these opportunities. 

There is a National Europass Centre (NEC) in every EU country (and beyond) that serves as the first point of contact for any person or organisation interested in using or learning more about Europass. Find out how and where the NECs are celebrating this special anniversary
