   New CV and European Skills Passport online

   A new Europass CV (template and online editor) was launched on 12 December 2012. Improvements include:

   • more user-friendly online interface with direct preview of the final document;
   • new headings: Personal website, Instant messaging, Language certificate(s); • improved tutorials for better structured information: description of projects, conferences, publications, etc.;
   • new graphical identity for better legibility of Europass CV generated: new font, use of colours, simplified headings, etc.

   Also, the European Skills Passport was launched together with the new CV. The ESP is a user-friendly electronic folder to help students, workers or job-seekers build up personal, modular inventory of personal skills and qualifications acquired throughout life.

   It can contain a range of documents (Language Passport, copies of degrees, attestations of employment, etc.). When attached to a Europass CV, the European Skills Passport will reinforce the CV by bringing evidence of skills and qualifications listed.

   New version of Europass web services

   Europass has made available a second version of the SOAP based web services, that extends the supported conversions formats to include HR-XML 2.5, JSON and HTML, apart from Microsoft Word, OpenDocument Text and Acrobat PDF.

   Europass encourages integration with systems and environments that maintain a repository of personal data and offer different services:

   • job matching (eg job portals, employment agencies)
   • promotion (eg. career offices, human resource management offices)
   • profile maintaining (eg blog publishing tools, social networking sites)

   To this end, a second version of the SOAP based web services has been made available.

   New features

   The most important is that the conversion services have been enriched to support conversions between numerous formats.

   The web services of the first version support conversions to Microsoft Word 97-2003, OpenDocument Text ver2  and Acrobat PDF based on a Europass XML.

   The web services of this version have been enriched and support the following file formats: 

   • Europass XML 2.0
   • HR-XML 2.5
   • Adobe PDF with Europass XML 2.0 attachment
   • Adobe PDF with HR-XML 2.5 attachment
   • Europass JSON 2.0
   • Microsoft Word 97-2003
   • OpenDocument ver 2 Text
   • HTML

   More specifically the converted HR-XML documents adhere to version 2.5, while the converted JSON documents follow the Europass JSON Schema.

   Furthermore, the new web services accept various formats as input. So, besides Europass XML, conversions are supported for Europass PDF with XML attachment, HR-XML 2.5 and Europass JSON.

   In the Web Services page of the Europass website you may find numerous examples for calling the web services (for Java and PHP), as well as a Java-based client tool to call the services and a Java library to include in your code. Also the documentation of the services is further updated and enriched aiming to effectively support the Europass users.

   You may find detailed documentation on the new services here.

   If you have any comments or suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact us.
