About the project
Tur Cos Ta Posibel provides short placements in Aruba for construction trade students, covering trades like bricklaying, carpentry, plumbing, painting, and maintenance. Suitable for both apprentices and college-based students, our program accommodates groups of 8 students and 2 tutors from vocational or technical colleges for 2-3 weeks. Projects are tailored to match learners’ study level and specific fields, including joinery (e.g., playground renovation), wet trades (e.g., Cunucu house restoration), and plumbing (e.g., creating an outdoor bathroom in a shipping container).
Our aim is hands-on experience and cultural immersion, enhancing skills and understanding of construction practices in Aruba. Additionally, we host mixed trade groups, like plumbers and carpenters in one cohort. Students engage in various activities such as renovating a wooden playground or tiling a community centre bathroom. They also visit local sites such as WEB, the water desalination plant, understanding purification processes. This program offers practical learning opportunities and deepens students’ knowledge of construction in Aruba’s diverse environment.
