Pre-Immersion – Grade 12
Orientation
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 handson
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.

AMA BASIC EDUCATION OF LAS PIÑAS
• 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
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 1 st 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.
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.
