OBJECTIVES OF THE WORK IMMERSION

One of the goals of the K to 12 Basic Education Program

is to develop in learners the competencies, work ethic, and
values relevant to pursuing further education and/or joining
the world of work. To achieve greater congruence between
basic education and the nation’s development targets, Work
Immersion, a required subject, has been incorporated into
the curriculum. This subject will provide learners with
opportunities:
1. To become familiar with the work place;
2. For employment simulation; and
3. To apply their competencies in areas of
specialization/applied subjects in authentic work
environments.
To achieve the above objectives, Work Immersion is thus
a requirement for graduation from secondary education.
Learners are immersed in actual work environments such as
workshops offices and laboratories in which their prior
training is relevant.
Work immersion will help develop among the learner’s
life and career skills, and will prepare them to make
decisions on postsecondary education or employment. Through
partnership building, DepEd hopes that the Partner
Institutions will provide learners with work immersion
opportunities, workplace or hands-on experience, and
additional learning resources. It aims to make the learners:
1. Appreciate the importance and application of the
principles and theories learned in school;
2. Enhance their technical knowledge and skills;
3. Enrich their skills in communications and human
relations; and
4. Develop good work habits, attitudes, appreciation and
respect for work.
By the time learners reach Senior High School, they
would have already acquired almost all the competencies and
skills that would prepare them for the curriculum exits
(higher education, employment, middle-skills development,
and entrepreneurship). Work immersion provides them with an
avenue to test themselves and apply what they have learned
in a non-school scenario. In work immersion, learners are
not only able to apply their previous training but are also

3
able to experience the social interactions in a work
environment. Their experiences during work immersion will
develop many skills and values that would help them as they
transition from high school to real life. To assure the
achievement of the above objectives of Work Immersion, this
policy serves to guide schools in:
1. Creating flexible work immersion arrangements for
their learners;
2. Providing options for work immersion that are relevant
to learners’ purposes and needs;
3. Organizing work immersion opportunities for learners
that are consistent with the diverse human resource
requirements of partner institutions for work
immersion; and
4. Articulating the scope and limits of work immersion in
the context of basic education when building
relationships with work immersion partners.

VALUES AND ATTRIBUTES OF A STUDENT IN A WORK

IMMERSION
In the approved latest draft of
(SHS) curriculum, students that
Technical-Vocational-Livelihood and
tracks are expected to spend 1,404
doing “Immersion.”
the Senior High School
choose to take the
the Arts and Sports
hours outside campus,

This total is divided into four. In the first half or

semester of Grade 11, the student will spend 270 hours in a
company, field, organization, or other workplace. In the
second half or semester of Grade 11, s/he will spend another
270 hours. In the first half or semester of Grade 12, s/he
will do 324 hours.

In the final half or semester of Grade 12, the student

will spend practically all the time (or 540 hours) outside
campus (except for a few monitoring or processing sessions
on campus). In effect, for much of three-fourths of his or
her time and for a whole fourth of his or her time in SHS,
the student becomes a de facto full-time employee or worker
in a workplace.

Our country has had a lot of experience with on-the-

job training (OJT) programs on the collegiate level.
Unfortunately, many (if not most) college OJT students are

4
assigned only to insignificant jobs in a company (answering
the phone, making photocopies, making coffee – that sort of
thing). Rarely are OJT students expected to produce the same
products that regular employees produce.

CAREER GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING

IMMERSION can be used as a facilitative tool for

career counselling for students, especially those in
professional courses. By placing them in a real-world work
scenario, it gives them an opportunity to explore the kind
of tasks and activities they would like to do. IMMERSION
also matches the candidate’s profile with a list of
occupations, which can be used as a reference point for
exploring opportunities.

CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND INTERNAL MOBILITY

IMMERSION highlights individuals’ self-awareness and

provides a deeper understanding of their interests and
strengths in a work environment. It guides an individual's
career choices by matching their interests and personality
with various job profiles. From an internal mobility
perspective, IMMERSION can facilitate people’s development
within a company and encourage those who are looking for
growth and change.

OVERALL PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

Work immersion will help develop among the learner’s
life and career skills, and will prepare them to make
decisions on post secondary education or employment. Through
partnership building, DepEd hopes that the Partner
Institutions will provide learners with work immersion
opportunities, workplace or hands-on experience, and
additional learning resources. It aims to make the learners:

1. Appreciate the importance and application of the

principles and theories learned in school;
2. Enhance their technical knowledge and skills;
3. Enrich their skills in communications and human
relations; and
4. Develop good work habits, attitudes, appreciation and
respect for work.

WHY IMMERSION IS NECESSARY

Work Immersion is one of the course requirements for
graduation. A Senior High School student has to undergo work
immersion in a business organization/establishment whose
work requirements are related to the specialization. Through
this work immersion, the students are exposed to and become
familiarized with work-related environment related to their
field of specialization. “Work immersion is a key feature in
the senior high school curriculum. It can be conducted in
different ways depending on the purposes and needs of the
learners,” Education Secretary Leonor Briones said. The
guidelines said work immersion – which can range from 80 to
300 hours – will enable students to become familiar with the
workplace, experience workplace simulation and apply their

15
competencies in areas of specialization.

WHAT SPECIFIC SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE THE

TRAINEE WILL ACQUIRE DURING THE WORK
IMMERSION AND HOW WILL THEY BE TAUGHT
The specific skills and knowledge the trainee will
acquire during the work immersion are one of the goals of
the K to 12 Basic Education Program which is to develop in
learners the competencies, work ethic, and values relevant
to pursuing further education and/or joining the world of
work. To achieve greater congruence between basic education
and the nation’s development targets, Work Immersion, a
required subject, has been incorporated into the curriculum.
This subject will provide learners with opportunities:

1. To become familiar with the work place;

2. For employment simulation; and
3. To apply their competencies in areas of
specialization/applied subjects in authentic work
environments.

To achieve the above objectives, Work Immersion is thus

a requirement for graduation from secondary education.
Learners are immersed in actual work environments such as
workshops offices and laboratories in which their prior
training is relevant.

Work immersion will help develop among the learner’s

life and career skills, and will prepare them to make
decisions on postsecondary education or employment. Through
