D.2 DEVELOPMENT

You are now in Grade 12 and therefore you are expected to be equipped with all the skills you
gained from your different subjects. Let’s recall the 3 classifications of subjects in Senior High
School. Yes, they are: Core subjects; Applied subjects; and Specialized subjects. Work Immersion is
one (1) of the nine (9) specialized subjects and it is also allotted 80 hours just like other subjects.

2
 Are you excited for your Work Immersion? Today you will read and learn the content of
some sections of DepEd Order No. 30, s. 2017, DepEd No. 39, s. 2018 and the latest Guidelines for
Work Immersion Implementation during crisis situation found in Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00085
from the Office of the Undersecretary for Curriculum and Instruction.

What does Work Immersion mean?

According to DepEd Order No. 40, series of 2015, Work Immersion refers to the part of the
Senior High School (SHS) Curriculum consisting of 80 hours of hands-on experience or work
simulation which the 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.”

The Department of Education issued DepEd Order no. 30 s. 2017 entitled Guidelines for
Work Immersion which is the basis for the implementation of Work Immersion in all Senior High
Schools (SHSs). So let us get oriented with the selected sections of DepEd Order no. 30 s. 2017. Read
it thoroughly.

Section 1: Rationale

One of the goals of the K to 12 Education Program is to develop in learners the competencies,
work ethics, and values relevant to pursuing further education and/or joining the world of work. To
achieve greater congruence with the basic education and the nation’s development targets, Work
Immersion, a required subject, has been integrated in the curriculum. This subject will provide
learners with the following opportunities:
1. to become familiar with the work place
2. for employment simulation
3. to apply their competencies in areas of specialization/applied subject’s in authentic work
environments.
To achieve those objectives, Work Immersion is therefore a requirement for graduation from
secondary education. Learners are immersed on actual work environments such as workshops, offices
and laboratories in which their prior training is relevant. But this is given clarification on DepEd
Order No. 39, s. 2018.

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.

 For all tracks, schools may opt to devise unique delivery model with a minimum of 80 and a
maximum of 320 hours following the Curriculum Guide.
 All TVL learners shall have completed the required learning competencies of a particular
specialization before Work Immersion.
 The nominal duration of specialization for TVL shall be considered in crafting the delivery
model of the school. For other tracks:
 Accounting, Business and Management (ABM) learners may have Business Enterprise
Simulation
 Humanities and Social Science Strand (HUMSS) learners may take Culminating Activity
 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learners may take
Research/Capstone Project
 General Academic Strand (GAS) learners may take Research/Capstone Project or
Culminating Activity
 For Sports Track, learners may take Apprenticeship (off – campus)
 For Arts and Design Track, learners may take Performing Arts for Production or Exhibit for
Arts Production

3
 However, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the learners’ physical attendance in school is
prohibited. Consequently, the implementation of Work Immersion given above is greatly affected.
Hence, the Office of Undersecretary set another guideline stipulated in Memorandum DM-CI-2020-
00085 specifically for this school year 2020-2021. Varying suggested activities for all tracks guided
by Most Essential Competencies (MELCs) are provided.

The activities in all tracks can be performed in different schemes which include in-school, home-
based, community-based, and school industry partnership.
Whatever scheme is used, all lessons and activities of Work Immersion or its equivalent shall be
delivered using different modalities applicable to the specific track, strand, learners and schools.

To get more oriented with these schemes, your Work Immersion Teacher together with the
Focal Person, Grade level Chairman and Principal will meet you together with your parent via online
platform. Your Work Immersion Teacher or your previous adviser will send you a message and link
for an online orientation. This will be done on the 1st week of second semester.

What topic will they discuss? Yes! They will explain how you will go about your Work
Immersion using the above-mentioned schemes. They will do the following:
1. Walkthrough of the Parts of the entire Work Immersion
2. Explanation of contextualized activity and scheme relevant to your track & strand (to be
taken from the new issued Memorandum in response to the crisis)
3. Assessment
4. Other important matters/reminders regarding your Work Immersion 5. Open Forum where
you and your parents can ask questions directly to the teachers or even to the principal.

To prepare for this online orientation, you can already download those apps for online
meeting. When the message and link are given to you, you will just click it to open and join the
meeting. Just remember to make your environment silent because every noise is heard by everyone in
the meeting, so you need to turn off the microphone to avoid destruction to the speaker. Wait for
further instructions.
