Europass mobility
What is the Europass Mobility…
- The Europass Mobility is a document which records a period of time spent in another country for the purpose of education, training or work. It constitutes added value in the sense of international experience. The document is issued for experiences acquired in the EU, European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and candidate countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Rumania, Turkey). If you apply for a job or for a place in some education institution, you can attach the Europass Mobility to other documents which testify about your skills and competences acquired abroad.
- The Europass Mobility records all essential data: about the sending partner (which is – the organisation responsible for the mobility experience in the country of origin of the individual who wishes to gather experience abroad), the host partner (which is – the organisation hosting the individual), the individual undergoing the mobility experience, as well as about the skills and competences acquired during the mobility experience.
- The Europass Mobility is a successor of the Europass Training document which was launched in the EU in 2000, while Slovenia started to issue it in 2004. The Europass Mobility marks an improvement from the previous document since it is also available in electronic form. What is more, it also provides a more detailed description of acquired skills (language, social, organisational, computer and other skills). The first Europass Mobility documents in Slovene will be issued at the beginning of 2006, while their predecessors, i.e. Europass Training documents, will replace them until then.
Where can you obtain the Europass Mobility…
- The sending partner responsible for the mobility experience submits a request to the National Europass Centre. The application form can on the printed form which could also be sent to you in paper form upon request.
