Work Immersion: Real World Experience at Senior High
Aid, Australian | March 2018
Abstract
The opening of school year 2017-2018 saw 1.4 million Grade 11 and 12 or Senior High School (SHS) enrollees nationwide pursuing different tracks, such as Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) track and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) strand under the Academic track.1 The same number would also participate in the SHS work immersion program or a simulated workplace experience for the students to develop industry-based competencies to improve their employment prospects.
In Siquijor City, 369 students participated in work immersion activities in tourism establishments. Joelyn Suminguit of Catulayan National High School was one of those students. Through her work immersion in a tourist resort and restaurant in Siquior, Joelyn earned National Certificates in Tourism Promotion and Housekeeping. Upon graduation, her host establishment offered to hire her. She, along with over a million SHS graduates, will benefit from the initiative to align education outcomes with industry needs.
