A reference letter might be a good asset when a young person is looking for a job, especially when he is at the beginning of his/her career. The project OVPELO has created a specific template of a reference letter which the young people, current or former EVS volunteers, would be able to request to their coordinators in order to submit it to the attention of a future employer. The advantage of this particular reference letter is that it is composed according to the portfolio, already described and the elements which the letter contains are completely based on the quality criteria and the competences which are in the portfolio. Moreover, the elements could be proved, since the portfolio is proposing the possibility to bring clear examples and dates on when young people have developed the particular competences, stated in the letter.
