It encourages self-reflection on the part of the user of the Europass CV form and thus connects with the self-reflection aids which already exist in various forms and with various emphases within national skill passport schemes.A prototype is being developed which:-can be included in an expanded online help system for the Europass CV and/or made available on national sites;-significantly improves the completeness with which informally acquired skills can be documented by means of appropriate subcategorisation, examples and suggestions;-describes these skills in terms of the levels of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF);-does not damage the intended simplicity of the Europass system;-is also easy to use for users without above-average levels of literacy.
