WORK IMMERSION

PROGRAM
What is Work Immersion?

 Work Immersion refers to the subject of the


Senior High School Curriculum, which
involves hands-on experience or work
simulation in which learners can apply their
competencies and acquired knowledge
relevant to their track.
DepEd Order No. 30, s. 2017

DepEd Guidelines for Senior


High School Work Immersion
Rationale

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:
 to become familiar with the work place;
 for employment simulation; and
 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.
Scope

These guidelines shall apply to all Senior High School


learners in the following institutions:
 DepEd Senior High Schools
 Private Senior High Schools
 Senior High Schools run by state colleges and universities,
and local universities and colleges
 Technical-Vocational Institutions
Objectives of Work Immersion

Work immersion will help develop among the learners 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:
 appreciate the importance and application of the principles and theories learned in
school;
 enhance their technical knowledge and skills;
 enrich their skills in communications and human relations; and
 develop good work habits, attitudes, appreciation and respect for work.

following principles and policies:
