Abstract: This article outlines the potential and relevance of ePortfolio as a tool for enhancing competence recognition and, in doing so, highlights the potential of ePortfolio to function as an effective support application that facilitates the transition from university career to job placement.The portfolio's various definitions and different aims provide the reader with an overall rationale within which the specificities of its applications for job hunting are embedded. Moreover, several existing practices, initiatives and experiences on the portfolio's adoption and usage within university settings in Europe and beyond are collated and analysed. Also, relevant aspects to the overall picture are brought along by technological development and stakeholders' perspectives. Finally, the discussion focuses on the implications of and challenges to the portfolio's successful integration within the university sector.
