Three years after its official launch, Cedefop’s Europass website has reached 10 million visits, with over 2,5 million Europass Curricula Vitae completed online.
Developed by the European Commission and Cedefop, Europass aims at making citizens' skills and qualifications clearly understood on the labour market and in education and training across Europe.

The Europass website (http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu) is available in 26 languages and addresses half a billion citizens in 32 European countries.
Europass consists of five documents:
-
the Curriculum Vitae (CV) gives an overview of personal skills, including those acquired on the job or during leisure time;
-
the Language Passport offers a self-assessment of language skills using standardised levels;
-
the Europass Mobility records work and education experiences in other European countries;
-
the Certificate Supplement describes the content of vocational qualifications (entry requirements, skills acquired, level, certification);
-
the Diploma Supplement lists the achievements of holders of diploma or degrees (level, topics, grades).
The Europass Curriculum vitae and Language Passport are completed by the users themselves; the three other documents (Europass Mobility, Certificate Supplement and Diploma Supplement) are issued by competent organisations.
The relevance of Europass to European citizens is clearly shown by the figures:
-
2.5 million CVs have been completed online, using Cedefop's tutorials;
-
10 million documents have been downloaded (of which 2.5 million are CV templates);
-
over 90,000 Europass Mobility documents have been issued to date;
-
over 15,000 visits a day are recorded on the Europass website.
