    Importance of Work immersion

    WITH all the aspects involved like economics, health and education, our country has been
    experiencing big changes lately. For they say that change is only the constant thing in the world.

    In terms of education, the Philippine educational system has been developed to provide the learner’s
    the best. It happened the moment we changed our own curriculum system from the basic form to
    widely use one – the K-12 curriculum. And just recently, the Department of Education (DepEd) has
    released the guidelines for the conduct of work immersion activities for senior high school students in
    the country.

    Work immersion is a key feature in the Senior High School curriculum (SHS) and refers to the part of
    that consists of 80 hours of hands-on experience or work simulation which Grades 11 and 12
    students will undergo to expose them to the actual workplace setting and to enrich the competencies
    provided by the school under the supervision of the School Head and the designated personnel of the
    Partner. Work immersion is the counterpart of the internship programs in the tertiary level.

    The said learning experience that the students can get from it which can range from 80 to 320 hours
    will surely enable and help students as they familiarize themselves with the workplace thus
    experience workplace simulation and apply their competencies in areas of specialization. The
    completion of work immersion is a prerequisite to graduation under the K-12 program. This is a first
    rate on the part of DepEd, since young people like to explore and to connect with the people, this
    work immersion will provide them to acquire relevant skills by performing in actual work setting.

    The importance of work immersion must be seen as vital point of giving students a venue to improve
    themselves through experiencing real stuff first-hand. This is the very highlight of the Senior High
    School program. It helps students to acquire knowledge and experience that can help them grow as
    professional individuals.

    Furthermore, this program provides opportunities to go through the actual methodologies of a specific
    job using the real tools, equipment and documents. In effect, the work place becomes a development
    venue for us student trainee to learn more about their chosen field and practice what we have learn
    from academy.

    Experience is considered to be one of life’s greatest teachers. As trainees they can use it as an
    inspiration as they gain expertise in their respective fields. This experience will surely help them not
    only for their present job as a student but also for their future job as a professional employee of this
    society.
    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 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.

    These guidelines were formulated based on the rich experiences of modelling schools, tech-voc
    school, partnership focal persons, industries partners, and youth development advocates. These
    guidelines can provide process support to field offices of the Department of Education (DepEd) in
    fostering relationships and strengthening partnership so that the learners will have access to suitable
    work immersion venues and other related resources.
