ORANJESTAD – On March 9, 2022, the ten graduates
of the social formation trajectory received their certifi-
cate of the program SVT.

The Minister of Justice and Social Affairs, Mr. Rocco
Tjon, congratulated the 10 graduates for their accom-
plishments through a virtual video call. The SVT program
has a great added value thanks to the collaboration
of the Government of Aruba with the Government of
the Netherlands.

These SVT participants have completed extensive
training in which they received training in different dis-
ciplines, including military training. As part of the SVT
program, the candidates did their internships at vari-
ous entities and companies. It gave them practical ex-
perience and increased their opportunity of getting a
job and entering the labor market.q
