RECAP
You are now in G-12 and therefore you are expected to be equipped with all the skills you
gained from your different subjects. Let’s recall the 3 classifications of subjects in Senior High School.
Yes, they are Core subjects; Applied subjects; and Specialized subjects. Work Immersion is one (1) of
the nine (9) specialized subjects and it is also allotted 80 hours just like other subjects.
What Is It
Are you excited about 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 found in Memorandum DM-CI-202000085 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 basic education and the nation’s development targets, Work
Immersion, a required subject, has been integrated into the curriculum. This subject allows
employment simulation by providing learners to become familiar with the workplace and apply
their competencies in areas of specialization/applied subjects in authentic work
environments.
To achieve those objectives, Work Immersion is, therefore, a requirement for graduation from
secondary education. Learners are immersed in 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 Work Immersion intends to provide SHS learners with opportunities to become familiar
with the workplace, simulate employment, and 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 a unique delivery model with a minimum of 80 and a
maximum of 320 hours following the Curriculum Guide.
3


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 DMCI-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 partnerships. The Work Immersion venue
shall conform to the law and the rules and regulations on safety, appropriateness for learning, and
availability of facilities and equipment which are issued by the DepEd (DO 40, s 2015.)
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.

What Is It
Imagine you are an employer of a company. There are two applicants left after previous
screenings. But you need only one to fill in the vacant position. Whom are you going to choose? Is it
the applicant with very good credentials besides being an honor graduate, but during the interview,
he appears to be arrogant as seen in his ways or actions; or is it the other applicant who is just an
ordinary graduate but seems to be humble and sincere as what is projected in the interview?
Most of the time many choose the second applicant. He may not be as academically good as
the other applicant but the way he answers during the interview revealed his character; the
interviewer considers much the attitude. That’s why, your attitude towards work is very important
which is about our lesson for today, Work Ethics.
Work Ethics is a group of moral principles, standards of behavior, or set of values
regarding proper conduct in the workplace. (Webster Dictionary) Some of you after graduation
might prefer to work right away or others after college they will go on work. During this Work
Immersion, you will be deployed in a certain institution or company. It is necessary to know if your
actions conform to the work ethics. You can ask yourself: Do I show respect to everyone in the
workplace? Am I becoming rude to others? or Did I tell the truth about the problem?
There are many instances or stories you heard about employees being fired from a job or work.
What could be the reasons?
These are some of them:
1. Noncompliance with the rules and regulations
2. Harassment to fellow employees
3. Theft or stealing
4. The utterance of offensive language
5. Negligence of the responsibility
6. Troublemakers or frequent cause of conflict
7. Grievous offenses

1. Honesty. An honest employee fosters a good reputation for an organization. So be honest by
telling the truth at all times and never attempt stealing nor theft, just like a tricycle driver
who returned the lost money and gadget to the owner.
2. Punctuality. You need to submit your work early or on time.
Always come to your work 15 minutes before the time.
3. Integrity and Loyalty
Never disclose nor reveal nor share confidential matters. You must be trustworthy so
that people will rely on and trust you.
4. Teamwork. Be a good team player with
your colleagues in the workplace. Always
help one another to achieve more.

5. Productivity. You have to accomplish more within the
stipulated or specified time. Never use your time for doing
nonsense things like chatting, gossiping, texting, etc.

6. Reliability. It is a quality of being able to be trusted or
believed because of working or behaving well. Your employer
trusts you that you can do your work without so much
supervision. You can also be asked for help at times your
employer and your co-worker.

7. Commitment to Excellence
You do not only work just for compliance but you
work hard to produce the best output or best
quality.
G—12 ICT of Santolan HS
8. Professionalism. It is more than just how you look but it’s a way of speaking, behaving, and even
thinking that helps a person to be successful in the workplace. You must know how to follow all
workplace rules. You also know how to admit if you made a mistake and learn from it. Ask for help if
you’re not sure how to handle a situation. Language is an important aspect of communication
whether you are talking with a co-worker in the privacy of your own office or to a customer. Practice
using language that is appropriate for the workplace in your everyday conversations so that you get
into the habit of sounding professional.https://www.conovercompany.com/5-ways-to-show-professionalism-in-the-workplace/
Lastly, always dress up appropriately.
9. Attitude. Many always look for an employee with the
right attitude. To be a better employee, you must listen to
suggestions. Be positive on different challenges. You also
accept responsibility entrusted to you and admit your own
mistakes if ever you commit one. Respect everyone in the
workplace. Respect begets respect.

10. Cooperation. So how do you demonstrate your
cooperation in the workplace? You’re right...You know how to
follow rules and regulations of the workplace. You also know
how to get along with others. Besides, you also show
appreciation of the privileges and never abuse them.
