The Senior High School work immersion program requires
companies to give 80 hours per student to experience the work. This will enable
students to become familiar with the workplace, experience workplace simulation
and apply their competencies in areas of specialization. It is also expected to
help develop life and career skills and prepare learners to make decisions about
postsecondary education or employment.
During the forum, DEPED representative Mr. Mark Anthony V. Bercando emphasized
that the safety of the senior high school students is one of the primary
requirements for partner companies willing to open their doors to these
students.
