In a rapidly evolving European job market, mobility and access to the right opportunities are key to ensuring employment and career growth for millions. Two powerful EU tools — Europass and EURES — are joining forces in an even stronger and more connected way, aiming to streamline the job-seeking process and provide better, more personalized support for job seekers across Europe.

Their shared goal? Helping every individual find the right job, training, or opportunity – no matter where they are in their career journey or on the map of Europe.

What Are Europass and EURES?

Before diving into how they’re working more closely than ever, let’s understand what each platform brings to the table.

🧳 Europass – Your Skills, Recognized Everywhere

Europass is the EU’s digital tool designed to help individuals communicate their skills, qualifications, and experiences clearly and effectively across Europe. It provides users with:

• A free online profile to showcase education, work experience, and skills

• Tools to create a modern, customizable CV and cover letter

• Personalized job and learning recommendations

• Access to information about qualifications recognition, learning opportunities, and more

🌍 EURES – The European Job Mobility Portal

EURES (European Employment Services) is a cooperative network that facilitates job mobility across EU countries, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. It offers:

• A vast job portal with thousands of cross-border opportunities

• A network of over 1,000 EURES advisers to assist job seekers and employers

• Country-specific guides on living and working conditions

• A platform for employers to find talent from all over Europe

A Stronger Alliance for Better Results

With their new collaboration, Europass and EURES are building a more seamless experience for job seekers. Their integration means that users can navigate career planning, job searching, and application processes without having to switch between tools or repeat the same steps.

🔗 What’s New?

• Single Sign-On: Users can now access both platforms with a single EU Login account, linking their Europass profile directly to EURES job applications.

• Smart CV Matching: Europass CVs are now better integrated into the EURES job portal, allowing for faster and more relevant job matches based on user skills and preferences.

• Personalized Recommendations: By sharing information between platforms, users receive more accurate suggestions for jobs, learning opportunities, and skills development pathways.

• Increased Transparency: Job seekers can better understand which roles suit them and how to prepare for cross-border opportunities — including support with relocation, social security, and recognition of qualifications.
