plenty of sleep and eating a good breakfast.

later to prove that you are ready to learn and work hard. Strive for a
perfect attendance record during your immersion period.
4. Bring a notebook and a pen. There is no way you can remember
everything you’ve learned each day and although you might not have the
opportunity to jot down notes during the immersion. You can do it after
the training. This will serve as your reference in the future.

you, and there is no guarantee that food and water will be provided.

of work ready and well prepared.

I. INTRODUCTION
Meaningful learning experiences are obtained inside the confines of the
classroom; however, progressive learning can only be fully attained as
one thoroughly immerses himself in the practice of the professional life.
By participating in the professional practice of work, concepts and
theories acquired in school cease to become abstractions. Instead, these
sets of knowledge serve as springboards upon which higher learning
becomes possible.
This resonates well with the goal of the senior high school education
program which is to foster specialization by way of familiarizing the
learner to the overall work environment and practices of his chosen
industry or field through the Work Immersion Program.
For the Senior and High School students, the Work Immersion Program
acts as a bridge between theories and actual practice, providing them
the opportunity to: 1. Be exposed to industry practices, organizational
hierarchies and structures, business systems and processes enabling
them to accumulate additional knowledge, skills and competencies.
2. Be familiar with stakeholder deliverables and how to manage
expectations making them efficient and effective organizational
members.
3. Be empowered individuals as they build character, develop work ethics
and values allowing them to develop their potential as professional and
entrepreneurs.
For the academe, the Work Immersion Program creates the link between
and among stakeholders by:
1. forging sustainable partnerships
2. aligning academic standards vis-à-vis industry requirements and
demands
3. creating employment or entrepreneurial opportunities
