INTRODUCTION

Work Immersion is one of the course requirements for graduation. A Senior High
School student has to undergo Work Immersion in an industry that directly relates to
the student's postsecondary goal. Through Work Immersion, the students are exposed
to and become familiar with work-related environment related to their field of
specialization to enhance their competence. Specifically, the students are able to: (i) gain
relevant and practical industrial skill sunder the guidance of industry experts and
workers; (ii) appreciate the importance and application of the principles and theories
taught in school; (iii) enhance their technical knowledge and skills; (iv) enrich their
skills in communications and human relations; and (v)develop good work habits,
attitudes, appreciation, and respect for work. These prepare them to meet the needs and
challenges of employment or higher education after graduation.
Academic institutions are faced with challenges particularly on the skills they produced
which do not match the needs of the industry. A significant number of graduates today
are unable to fill the job openings due to job-skill mismatch. A great number of these
skills found lacking by companies are taught in the academe that is, technical, human
resource and conceptual skills. In addition to that, these same skills can also be
reinforced through on-the-job training programs. On-the-job training (OJT) programs
are course requirements providing an opportunity to apply the theories, principles and
ideas learned in the academe under supervision. These training programs expose the
students to work realities which will ideally hone their skills and prepare them once
they get out of the university or college.
A study conducted by the People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP)
in2006, emphasized the importance of an effective on-the-job training program.
Achievement of the OJT program objectives ensures the possibility of good performer
graduates. The opposite will most likely produce poor performer graduates thus,
promoting job-skill mismatch.
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:
(i) to become familiar with the work place; (i) for employment simulation; and iii) to
apply their competencies in areas of specialization/applied subjects in authentic work
environments.
VALUES AND ATTRITUBES AS A STUDENT IN A WORK IMMERSION
As a student who needs to go under work immersion, it is very important to possess
work-related skills and values so that you may practice and internalize working under
real-time processes in your chosen profession. Some of the key values and attributes
that you need to portray are:
Professionalism - school can teach you how be work professionally by providing skills
that you need in a specific work but through work immersion, real-life situations and
stress will bring more experience to a student. Though the company may have a little
expectation from you, still you must possess how a professional should work. You may
learn this through adapting the work culture in that company, the work priorities of
your immediate superiors and top executives of the company. Learn by observing them,
listening well when being instructed, or coping up when unfavorable circumstances
arise. This will boost your morale and develop high sense of professionalism and job
acceptance. As days passes by, you'll notice that there will be changes in the way you
move and work within the department. Some companies offer vacancy slots to their
trainees if they notice above satisfactory performance during the work immersion.
Promptness - this pertains to coming on time, even going before the schedule is
expected from students who go in work immersion. It creates a sense of responsibility
and full acceptance of the job that he has to accomplish. In contrary, those who come
late may find themselves less favored because at some point, they cause delay to the
work production and processes. Being on time is very commendable and given special
recognition after the work immersion.
Accuracy - this pertains to the application of skills learned in classroom. The actual
processes done in workplaces may differ from what is taught in the school so it is very
crucial for the students to learn these alterations and variations. Also, some mentors are
critical if the students really know what they are about to do once they started their
work immersion. It is very important to listen to instructions during the orientation and
ask questions if confused. Proper communication is very important as well. Keep in
mind that work immersion is the best place to apply what you have learned but be
careful not to cause delay in the company's workflow.
1. To become familiar with the work place;
2. For employment simulation;
3. To apply their competencies in areas of specialization/applied subjects in authentic
work environments,
4. Appreciate the importance and application of the principles and the stories learned in
school;

WORK IMMERSION HIGHLIGHTS

During our work immersion at PENRMO, we had the incredible opportunity to gain
hands-on experience in environmental management and research. We are fortunate to
work with dedicated professionals who are passionate about protecting and conserving
our natural resources.

One of the highlights of our experience was learning about the various environmental
policies and regulations that govern our country. We had the opportunity to study and
understand the importance of these policies in maintaining a sustainable environment
for future generations.

Fieldwork was an important part of our immersion, allowing us to witness firsthand the
impact of human activities on our ecosystems. This experience gave us valuable insights
into the complexity of environmental monitoring and assessment.

above all, our work immersion at PENRMO was a transformative experience. This not

also instilled in our a sense of responsibility for environmental protection. We are
grateful for the opportunity to be a part of PENRMO and will take with us the lessons
and experiences we have gained throughout our career in environmental management.

SUMMARY

My work immersion at PENRMO (Provincial Environment and Natural Resources

Management Office) was a transformative experience that provided me with valuable
insights into environmental management. Over the course of my immersion, I had the
opportunity to participate in various activities and work alongside professionals in the
field.
One of the key highlights of my immersion was the hands-on experience I gained. I
actively participated in tree planting activities, conducted site surveys, and assisted in
environmental awareness campaigns. These experiences allowed me to apply my
theoretical knowledge and understand the practical challenges involved in
environmental conservation.
Collaborating with professionals at PENRMO was another significant aspect of my
immersion. Working alongside experts in environmental science, forestry, finance, and
other fields exposed me to a wealth of knowledge and allowed me to learn from their
experiences. They provided guidance, encouraged my active involvement in projects,
and broadened my perspective on environmental management.
During my immersion, I was exposed to various environmental projects managed by
PENRMO. This included reforestation initiatives, eco-tourism projects, and
environmental awareness campaigns. I learned about project planning, implementation,
monitoring, and evaluation, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the
complexities involved in managing environmental initiatives.
Networking opportunities were also a highlight of my immersion. I had the chance to
interact with professionals from other government agencies, NGOs, and community
organizations through meetings, workshops, and events. These networking
opportunities allowed me to build connections, learn from experienced individuals, and
explore potential future collaborations.
On a personal and professional level, my immersion at PENRMO contributed
significantly to my growth. I developed practical skills such as data analysis, report
writing, and financial management. Additionally, I honed my teamwork,
communication, and problem-solving abilities through my interactions with colleagues
and participation in project activities. This experience enhanced my confidence and
prepared me for future challenges in the field of environmental management.
Lastly, my immersion provided me with insight into the environmental challenges
faced by the local community and the efforts being made to address them. I gained a
deeper understanding of issues such as deforestation, waste management, and climate
change adaptation. This firsthand experience has motivated me to continue working
towards sustainable solutions and has reinforced my commitment to environmental
conservation.
Overall, my work immersion at PENRMO was a rewarding and transformative
experience. It provided me with practical knowledge, skills, and a deeper appreciation
for environmental management. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to
PENRMO's initiatives and for the valuable lessons I learned during my time there.
