For whom?

Europass is used by people who wish to communicate their competence in compliance with the common framework for competences. For the recipient, the Europass documents clarify the competences and capabilities of people trained in other European countries.

Europass-holders

Europass is especially helpful for people seeking employment in another European country or applying for an education or training programme abroad. Finnish learners and workers going abroad can use Europass to demonstrate their knowledge and skills with an internationally comparable portfolio of documents, which communicates its holders’ capabilities in a transparent and understandable way. Europass is also designed for people who need to present the qualifications provided by or the equivalence of certificates or programmes completed abroad when they come to Finland.

Europass recipients

Europass makes it easier for employers to understand the skills and competences of job-seekers from other European countries. More transparent documentation provides business and industry with the opportunity to make better use of workers’ competence.

Europass helps professionals involved in education, training and guidance to advise applicants about opportunities in different parts of Europe and to compare their knowledge and skills.
