Pasantía Fondo de Vivienda Obrera de Duitama FOMVIDU

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to explain and show in detail the activities carried out during the internship at the Fondo de Vivienda Obrera located in Duitama, in order to obtain the degree of civil engineer. The internship lasted six hundred hours. The main intention was to put in practice the knowledge acquired during the undergraduate stage, gaining new insights in a work environment that fosters professional development and allows for gaining experience to enhance the skills portfolio, attaining the necessary abilities to compete in the job market and generating a social impact. This was achieved through support and assistance in carrying out the activities proposed by the organization, in collaboration with the municipality, as established in the municipal development plan. These activities are related to the construction of new housing and housing improvement, with the aim of improving the quality of life of the neediest people. Work was done in conjunction with the beneficiaries and all those involved in the projects. This document explains the processes carried out in the implementation of the shared-action housing improvement project, from the selection of beneficiaries until the monitoring of projected works, through photographic registration. The presented threats are evidenced, and the work of the project participants is highlighted, who are a fundamental part of the execution and proper development of the tasks performed. On the other hand, the support provided in the new housing projects (Abedules Residential Citadel and Guadalupe Towers) is shown, reporting on the progress of the work, the problems encountered, and offering technical contributions that help the general director of the entity to be informed and aware of the actions taken and the status of the works.
