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 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)
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.
