Pre-Immersion Module 2-4

Work Immersion
Walk-through
Work Immersion
• DepEd Order No. 30, s. 2017,

• DepEd No. 39, s. 2018
Work Immersion
• 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 (minimum) 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.”
DepEd Order no. 30 s. 2017
• Guidelines for Work Immersion

• The basis for the implementation of Work Immersion in
all Senior High Schools (SHSs).
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.
Section 1: Rationale
• The work immersion 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
inauthentic work environments
 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.
 DepEd recognizes other options that may equally
prepare learners for all curriculum exits.
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
For other tracks:
 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 other tracks:
 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
Work Immersion Objectives
• Work immersion will help develop among the learners life and
career skills, and will prepare them to make decisions on
postsecondary 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.
Work Immersion Objectives
• 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;

for work.

familiarized with the different terms and their
definitions. (Section 3 of DO No. 30, s 2017)

CONFIDENTIALITY IN THE
WORKPLACE
• Confidentiality
- the quality or state of being private or confidential
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
Casual Definition of Confidentiality
• If you repeat confidential statements made by co-
workers, even if the original source doesn’t hear about
your gossip, the people you tell might lose respect for
you and no longer trust you.
• If you gossip with customers, they might tell your
competitors, who will be less likely to hire you in the
future.
Examples
1. Repeating a co-worker’s opinion of his boss,
2. Revealing the fact that a peer is interviewing with another
company,
3. Forwarding a confidential email from one employee to
another,
4. Sharing information, you overhead others discussing or
passing around a document you found that wasn’t intended
for others.
Legal Definition of Confidentiality
• Once you become an employee or worker, you may
have access to information for your company such as
salaries, employee perks, client lists, trade secrets,
sales numbers, customer information, news about
pending terminations, reasons for a firing, phone
codes or computer passwords.
Legal Definition of Confidentiality
• Your employers expect their employees to not divulge
or reveal them to others when you are still working or
even when you are leaving the company.
Examples
 recipes  website traffic statistics
 research  customer lists
 financial information  computer and building
 patents security information
 production processes
Examples
• Personnel information is confidential, and
information in an employee’s file (social security
number, salary, health records, disciplinary actions
and termination reason) can’t be discussed with
other employees.
• Divulging inside information can damage your
former employer, allowing them to sue you to
recover those damages.
Data Privacy Act of the Philippines
• Republic Act No. 10173

• Passed by the Philippines Congress in 2012 and
implemented five years later.
Data Privacy Act of the Philippines
• Assures the “free flow of information to promote

innovation and growth” (RA No.10173, Ch. 1, Sec.
2) while protecting the users’ fundamental rights to
privacy.
How is it implemented?
• RA 10173 protects and maintains the right of

customers to confidentiality by setting a legal list of
rules for companies to regulate the collection,
handling, and disposal of all personal information.
How is it implemented?
• Companies legally responsible for keeping their

customers’ data protected from third parties or any
form of misuse, internally or externally.
What is “personal information”?
• Any information, whether recorded in a material form

or not, from which the identity of an individual is
apparent or can be reasonably and directly ascertained
by the entity holding the information, or when put

revocation, and tax returns.
CONFLICT
• A state of incompatibility of ideas between two or

more parties or individuals.
• A natural disagreement resulting from individuals
or groups that differ in attitudes, beliefs, values or
needs.
Conflict Resolution Techniques
1. Listen then speak out.

- It is better for the two involved parties to speak and
listen to one another to identify the root and nature of
the conflict.
2. Gather the group.

- The employers must also arrange meeting to discuss the
issue and think of the immediate solutions to satisfy
everyone.
3. Be impartial.
- Do not take sides but instead listen to both parties.
4. Do not postpone conflicts resolution.

- If the conflict arises, it is better to immediately address
the issue.
- Postponing it may affect everyone’s performance and
conflict might be aggravated by others
5. Promote teamwork.
- Remind the staff the importance of working as a team.
6. Practice appreciation.
- If the good deeds are spread to everyone in the
workplace, this makes everyone motivated and
encouraged to do the same.
How will the conflict be prevented?
1. Being open.
- It is better to express the issue and deal with them.
2. Maintain clear communication.
- Articulate thoughts clearly to one another in the
workplace.
3. Encourage different points of view and evaluate

each fairly.
4. Demonstrate respect for team members rather
than resorting to blame game.
5. Keep team issues within the team.

- Talking of the issues outside will result to bigger and
longer conflict.
Module 4 - Activity 1: My Actions
Directions: Read the following situations and answer the
questions that follow. Write your answers on a sheet of paper.
1. There is a group at work that often gossips about others on the job.
You like these people but don’t want to be a part of the gossip scene.
What will you do?
2. Your supervisor wants you to work overtime every week, but you have
other commitments outside of work. What will you do?
3. Your colleague in the company you are working has learned that the
manager’s brother has just been arrested for assault. He tends to
discuss this loudly wherever he is. What should you do without
creating any conflict with your colleague?
Module 4 - Activity 2: Past and Future
You have probably experienced having conflict with a
classmate in your school, a conflict with your sibling/s at
home or your friend, groupmate or teammate. Share your
experience on this in one or two paragraphs. Content
may include the root of the conflict, span of time your
conflict lasted, and how you resolved it.
Module 4 - Activity 3: Wrap Up
Direction: Answer the following questions.
1. Being a trainee or an employee someday, how will these
rights and duties help you in your job? Answer this in two
sentences.
2. What is the implication to you of learning the confidentiality
of data information? How will you apply it now?
3. You have also learned the resolution and prevention of
conflicts. What do you think is the importance of all of these
at home, in school, in an organization or in the company?
