Quarter 3
Module 1: Orientation
LESSON
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
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

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 activities for in Memorandum DM-CI-2020-00085
specifically for this school year 2020-2021. Varying suggested 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 will be the topic they will 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.
