UNIT I: PRE-IMMERSION
Immersion is done outside the school campus in a “Workplace Immersion Venue,” defined as “the place
where work immersion of students is done. Examples of work immersion venues include offices, factories,
shops and project sites.” What could lead to confusion is that the word “immersion” actually has two
meanings in K to 12. The first meaning refers to a required SHS subject in the curriculum. The second
meaning refers not to a subject but to a preferred mode of delivery of Tech-Voc subjects.
A. WORK ETHICS
By definition, Work ethic is a belief that work, hard work and diligence has a moral benefit and an
inherent ability, virtue or value to strengthen character. It is about prioritizing work and putting it in the
center of life. Social engrailment of this value is considered to enhance character through hard work that is
respective to an individual’s field of work
A strong work ethic is vital for achieving goals. A work ethic is a set of moral principles a person
uses in their job. People who possess a strong work ethic embody certain principles that guide their work
behavior, leading them to produce high-quality work consistently and the output feeds the individual to
stay on track. A good work ethic fuels an individual’s needs and goals, it is related to the initiative by a
person for the objectives. It is considered as a source of self-respect, satisfaction, and fulfillment. However,
a negative work ethic is a behavior of a single individual or a group that has led to a systematic lack of

1. Goal-oriented actions: it is not about making plans or the next logical steps; it's about getting
things done so that the work invested wouldn't be counter-productive.
2. Dedicate on priority: focusing on qualitative activities that a person is capable and where they can
make a difference or a high impact based on objectives.
3. Being available and reliable: spending time on the work and building oneself up for the task.
4. Conscientiousness: a desire to do a task well, being vigilant and organized.
5. Creating a rewarding routine/system: Engaging in tasks that provide strength and energy which
can be transferred to your ultimate goals, creating a habit and a habitat for success.
6. Embracing positivism: shape a problem with the statement "good, (action) (problem)", e.g. "I'm
tired and it is time for a workout" leads to "Good. Workout tired".
Activity #1
Objective: Identify the work ethics in the work place where you are in and identify whether it is a strong
work ethic (good work ethic) or negative work ethic (bad work ethic).

CAPITALIST VIEW
Steven Malanga refers to "what was once understood as the work ethic—not just hard work but also
a set of accompanying virtues, whose crucial role in the development and sustaining of free markets too
few now recall".
Max Weber notes that this is not a philosophy of mere greed, but a statement laden with moral language. It
is in effect an ethical response to the natural desire for hedonic reward, a statement of the value of delayed
gratification to achieve self-actualization. Franklin claims that Bible readings revealed to him the
usefulness of virtue. Indeed, this reflects the then Christian search for ethic for living and the struggle to
make a living.
Experimental studies have shown that people with fair work ethic are able to tolerate tedious jobs with
equitable monetary rewards and benefits, they are highly critical, have a tendency for workaholics and a
negative relation with leisure activity concepts. They valued meritocracy and egalitarianism.
ANTI-CAPITALIST VIEW
The industrial engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) revised the notion of work ethic as
a means of management control that delude workers about the actual reality for accumulated advantage,
which is a form of avarice. Marxists, and some non-Marxist sociologists do not regard "work ethic" as a
useful sociological concept. They argue that having a "work ethic" in excess of management's control
doesn't appear rational in any mature industry where the employee can't rationally hope to become more
than a manager whose fate still depends on the owner's decisions.
NOTE:
Since work ethics deals with a code of conduct, or a set of principles that is acceptable in the work place,
we need to look at what some of those principles are.

Workplace safety is important. You know that implementing an effective safety program for your workplace is one of
the best decisions a company can make — both for its workers and for its bottom line.
Here’s the Top 10 Workplace Safety Tips Every Employee and Employers Should Know to create a
workplace safety environment based on shared responsibility:
1. SAFETY PROGRAMS CREATE PRODUCTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENTS
Properly managed safety programs show commitment to safety by the management in turn creating
a great safety culture where everyone ‘wants’ to be safe.

9. SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENTS ENHANCE THE BRAND VALUE AND GOODWILL FOR A
COMPANY
Enables a company to win and retain business customers. Clients want to work with companies that
are safe (less downtime due to incidents).
PRE-EMPLOYMENT
Minimum employable age
The minimum age for employment is 18 years old and below that age is not allowed. Persons of age 15
to 18 can be employed given that they work in non-hazardous environments.
Overseas employment
As for overseas employment of Filipinos, foreign employers are not allowed to directly hire Philippine
nationals except through board and entities authorized by the Secretary of Labor. Travel agencies also
cannot transact or help in any transactions for the employment or placement of Filipino workers abroad.
Once Filipinos have a job in a foreign country, they are required to remit or send a portion of their income
to their families, dependents, and/or beneficiaries in the Philippines.
Regulations and conditions on employment
Minimum wage rate
Minimum wage rates in the Philippines vary from region to region, with boards established for each region
to monitor economic activity and adjust minimum wages based on growth rates, unemployment rates, and
other factors. The minimum wage rate for Non-Agriculture employees, in Manila region, established under
Wage Order No. NCR 15 is P404 per day, but in May 9, 2011, a (cost of living allowance) of P22 per day
was added to P404 wage, making the minimum wage P426. COLA was also added to the previous P367
minimum wage for the following sectors: Agriculture, Private Hospitals (with bed capacity of 100 or less),
and manufacturing establishments (with less than 10 workers), leaving the sectors with P389 as minimum
wage. The 426 combined rate is locally referred to in the Philippines as "Manila Rate" due to this regional
disparity.

hours a day.
Health personnel in cities and municipalities with a population of at least one million (1,000,000) or in
hospitals and clinics with a bed capacity of at least one hundred (100) shall hold regular office hours for
eight (8) hours a day, for five (5) days a week, exclusive of time for meals, except where the exigencies of
the service require that such personnel work for six (6) days or forty-eight (48) hours, in which case, they
shall be entitled to an additional compensation of at least thirty percent (30%) of their regular wage for
work on the sixth day. For purposes of this Article, "health personnel" shall include resident physicians,
nurses, nutritionists, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, laboratory technicians, paramedical
technicians, psychologists, midwives, attendants and all other hospital or clinic personnel.
Meal periods- Subject to such regulations as the Secretary of Labor may prescribe, it shall be the duty of
every employer to give his employees not less than sixty (60) minutes time-off for their regular meals.
Rest days
All employees have the right to have a 24 consecutive hours of rest day after every 6 days of work.
Employers are responsible for determining and scheduling the rest day of employees except only if the
employee prefers a different day based on religious grounds. However, the employer may require an
employee to work during his/her rest day in cases of emergencies, special circumstances at work in which
employees are seriously needed, to prevent losses or damage to any goods or to the employer, and other
cases that have reasonable grounds.
POST- EMPLOYMENT
Termination by employer
The employer has the right to terminate an employee due to the following reasons: serious
misconduct or disobedience to the employer, neglect of duties or commission of a crime by the employee,
and such gives the employer a just case to terminate the services of the employee.
Retirement
The retirement age for an employee depends on the employment contract. Upon retirement, the
retired employee should be given his/her benefits according to the agreement or contract between the
employer and the employee. However, if there is no existing retirement plan or agreement for the
employee, he/she may retire at the age of 60, given that he/she has served the employer for 5 years, and
shall be given a retirement pay of at least half a month’s salary for every year of service (6 months of work

WRITING A RESUME
According to Cambridge dictionary, a resume is a written statement of your educational and work
experience.
A resume is a means of advertising yourself to get a job that you want and will give a short impression
about you to the employers whether you attain their standards or not. That’s why writing a good resume is
very important.
Here are the following steps and tips on how to write a resume:
9
GRADE 12 General Academic Strand (GAS)
WORK IMMERSION MANUAL
Qualifications Summary
With regards to format, the qualifications summary is a bullet point list (ranging from 4 to 6 points)
of your most outstanding career achievements. Avoid using generic statements and try to list your skills in
a way reflects your unique voice.
Career Objective
A resume objective, also referred to as a career objective, is a 2-3 sentence statement that provides
an overview of your skills and experience. This resume introduction is best for entry-level candidates.
Professional Profile
The professional profile is a combination of both the career objective and qualifications summary.
It is also the most flexible of the three styles as it can be formatted as short paragraph of bullet-point list.
I am an entry-level applicant
I am recent college graduate
I lack measurable of accomplishments
Finally, when deciding what skills to add to either of the two, try to target skills specific to the job
you are applying for. Don’t just simply copy and paste skills right out of the job description, but instead try
to use words common in the industry.
The section is the core of your resume, where you are tasked with proving the skills you have listed
in the qualifications summary or career objective. When it comes to labeling this section some use
“Relevant Experience,” or “Work Experience” as an alternative to “Professional Experience.”
Remember to list your work experiences in reverse chronological order and only list experience that is
relevant to the job you are applying for. For each company create a heading including the company’s name,
city & state, your title, and the dates of employment (month and year). If you are still currently working at
a company, you can simply write “month, year-Present” for the employment dates.
Having a solid education section helps to display the foundation of your knowledge and
expertise. Depending on your professional experience, you may want to consider switching the order of the
professional experience and education sections.
For instance, college or high school students that lack seasoned professional experience benefit from
emphasizing their education by placing it before the professional experience section. In addition, if you
possess a wealth of professional experience then it is appropriate to keep this section short and sweet.
The names of your university, community college, or technical school(Don’t include high
school unless you did not attend college)
Location of the schools (city, state)
Date of graduation (month, year)
Degree(s)
GPA (only include if your GPA is above 3.0, round up to the first decimal place , and use this
format: GPA: 3.5/4.0)
By now you’ve already added the nuts and bolts to your resume and may want to consider adding to
help strengthen it.

SAMPLE
Ma’am:
This is in connection to the requirement of Humanities and Social Sciences Grade 12 students of
Rizal National High School to undergo a work immersion in your institution for ten (10) days or
equivalent to eighty (80) hours.
I am Desiree O. Sinchioco, 17 years of age, a Grade 12 student of Rizal National High School,
taking up Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand.
Indeed, I am one of the immersion students, who really want to enhance and practice my
profession. I also want to share my knowledge and experience to motivate and inspire my fellow
students.
I am writing this letter to apply as a trainee in your institution. I choose your institution because
the teachers are great and amazing in terms of teaching and I believe that in your school, I’ll be
able to enhance my skills and become more knowledgeable to the different teaching strategies.
Moreover, through your beloved institution that offers quality service, I believe that it will be a
great help to hone my communication and socialization skills as I pursue my aimed profession.
Attached is my resume for your reference. Madame, if you find my qualifications adequate, I will
be very glad to come for an interview at your most convenient time.
Respectfully yours,
DESIREE O. SINCHIOCO

Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need to prepare for their job interview.
Why, you ask? Interview skills are learned, and there are no second chances to make a
great first impression. These 10 interview tips will teach you how to answer interview questions
and convince the hiring manager that you are the one for the job.
Listen
From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly
or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication
skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Observe your
interviewer, and match that style and pace.

GRADE 12 General Academic Strand (GAS)
WORK IMMERSION MANUAL
Ask questions
When asked if they have any questions, most candidates answer, "No." Wrong answer. Part of
knowing how to interview is being ready to ask questions that demonstrate an interest in what
goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the
right place for you. The best questions come from listening to what you're asked during the
interview and asking for additional information.
You need a portfolio to showcase your work and to help to demonstrate your skills to
prospective employers. Nothing impresses more than a beautifully presented portfolio at an interview. But
don't send it unless requested. Always bring it with you if you have an interview.
Go for quality, not quantity: employers will probably spend only a few minutes looking at your portfolio,
especially at interview. Less can be more so select only your strongest work.
Put your portfolio on a web site if possible as it is so easy to access. You then simply need to provide the
web link on your CV.
Make sure that the portfolio is carefully laid out and in the correct order.
All items need to be clear and easy to understand
A physical portfolio can include anything that is portable! Anything flat can be folded into a portfolio,
but you are not restricted to things that can fit inside the portfolio! If an item is too large to take to the
interview take high quality photos of it to show with close ups to elicit details.
