The showcase of competence for Europe

The Europass scheme is based on the Decision of the European Parliament and the Council on a single Community framework for the transparency of qualifications and competences.

About Europass

Europass is a personal portfolio of documents, which skilled people can use to present their qualifications and competences throughout Europe. Each Europass provides a clear overview of its holder’s skills.

• Europass is intended for anyone who needs an effective way of conveying their skills and competences internationally. 
• People can use Europass when looking for work or applying for education and training programmes. 
• Europass helps employers to understand the qualifications and competences of job-seekers from other EU Member States. 
• Finnish job-seekers can use Europass to look for work in other European countries or to demonstrate competence acquired abroad on the domestic labour market. 
• Europass helps professionals involved in education, training and guidance to compare applicants’ knowledge and skills and to advise them about opportunities in different parts of Europe.
