CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Work immersion, according to the DepEd, is a key
subject under the Senior High School curriculum that may
be conducted in different ways and time frame as needed
by SHS learners. The subject provides learners
opportunities to familiarize themselves with the
workplace; to simulate employment, and to apply their
competencies in areas of specialization/applied subjects in
authentic work environments.
The DepEd noted that K-12 Basic Education Program
was created to equip graduates with values, knowledge
and skills that communities, businesses and industries
need.
Though the intention of Work Immersion is to
provide SHS learners with opportunities to become
familiar with the workplace, simulate employment, and to
apply their competencies in areas of specialization/applied
subjects in actual work environments, DepEd recognizes
other options that may equally prepare learners for all
curriculum exits.
Specifically, DepEd Order No. 30, series of 2017 or
Guidelines for Work Immersion provides learners with
access to industry partners' facilities and employment
simulation where they are given opportunities to apply
their competencies, gain practical industrial skills and
develop good work ethics and values relevant to pursuing
further education and/or joining the world of work.
