Everything about Europass totally explained
Europass is an
EU initiative to increase transparency of qualification and mobility of citizens in
Europe. It consists of five documents (
CV,
Language Passport, Europass Mobility, Certificate supplement and Diploma supplement) that should make a person's skills and qualifications clearly understood.
Europass CV
Its purpose is to help all users to create, with a simple
wizard, a Curriculum vitae or a Language passport in the
"European Format", and to get information about the other Europass documents.
EU member countries have established a
National Europass Centre to promote and provide information on the Europass documents.
Europass and EuroCv
The
European Commission is hosting a jobboard service for European Citizens - the European Job Mobility Portal (EURES) which supports the Europass.
Another free service is EuroCv which helps the users to keep a copy of the Curriculum Vitae in a free web space without ads and banners. EuroCv uses the Europass format as a standard. Such a format is compatible with the systems already proposed by Europass, but it also offers the possibility of sharing the curriculum through the web by a simple link.
The Directorate General Education and Culture
has co-financed the European project
KITE
under the
Leonardo Da Vinci programme
. KITE offers an implementation of the Europass-CV as a plugin of the open source weblogs:
WordPress and
Dotclear. The plugin allow wordpress and dotclear blog users to store create a Europass CV in all European official languages and export it into the following formats: PDF, ODT, HTML, XHTML, HR-XML. The plugin is compliant with
HR-XML SEP specifications.
