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 pro-
vide 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 ar-
eas 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 firsthand. 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 method-
ologies 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. (
