In today’s fast-changing labour market, especially with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, employers need reliable tools to verify candidates’ skills and qualifications quickly and securely. European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDC) are designed to support this need. Issued in standardised and structured digital format, these credentials support data transparency and portability.
European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDC) have rapidly become a cornerstone of Europe’s digital education ecosystem.
The qualifications and learning opportunities data published to the Qualification Dataset Register (QDR), is now available on the European Data portal as open data.
Removing barriers to the free movement of workers and making the EU more attractive to talent
Europass and EURAXESS are joining forces to offer researchers a smoother and smarter experience across both platforms.
In alignment with the European Commission’s open-source strategy, the Qualification Dataset Register (QDR) is now officially available as an open-source project on code.europa.eu.
Europass, with its wide set of online tools and information to help its users in their lifelong learning and career management, provides interesting possibilities not only for its end-users, but also for guidance and career counseling.
The European Learning Model (ELM) is a multilingual data model providing a single vocabulary for the description of learning in Europe
Today, 1 July 2025, Europass celebrates an important milestone: the 20th Anniversary of this EU initiative, supporting job seekers, workers, learners and volunteers across Europe to understand and showcase their skills and qualifications in a transparent way.
The European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDC) are transforming the way qualifications and learning achievements are documented, awarded, shared, and verified across Europe. As an EDC implementer, your organisation, institution or project plays a crucial role in driving this change. To showcase your experience and achievements, we invite you to share your journey with the wider EDC and ELM community.
