Review of Related Literature

The readiness of Technical-Vocational Livelihood (TVL) students for deployment

in upcoming immersion programs is a critical factor in ensuring their successful transition

from the classroom to the workplace. Immersion programs are designed to enhance

students' work preparedness by providing them with practical experience and exposure to

real-world work environments. This review of related literature aims to explore various

studies and findings on the performance, challenges, and outcomes of TVL students in

work immersion programs. By examining these aspects, the review seeks to identify best

practices and potential areas for improvement in preparing TVL students for their future

careers.

Work immersion is a subject under the Senior High School (SHS)

curriculum which is conducted in different ways and time frame depending on the

chosen model of each school. Work Immersion in Senior High School is the same as the

On-the-Job Training in College. Work Immersion enable learners to apply the skills,

knowledge and competencies that they have learned from Senior High School. As stated

in DepEd Order No. 30 s. 2017 or the Guidelines for Work Immersion, learners are

required to undergo Work Immersion to provide them with opportunities to become

familiar with the workplace; to experience employment simulation and to apply

their competencies learned from their specialized and applied subjects in an

authentic environment. This Work Immersion will also empower learners, enhance

learning experience, provide technical assistance, and develop skills through the help of

company/institution supervisors that can help learners create better career decisions
and increase employment possibilities. It also aims to help them acquire practical

skills, develop a better understanding of the industry, and gain insights into the

demands and challenges of the workplace. Furthermore, by spending a certain number of

hours at a company or organization, learners get hands-on experience, observe

professionals in action, and actively participate in tasks related to their chosen field. (

According to Asian Foundation (2018), in the Philippines, youth

unemployment affect the country`s economic development. The youth’s lack of

knowledge, skills, and work experience puts them at a disadvantage. One way to address

this is through the Department of Education’s Senior High School (SHS) program,

ushered by the K-12 education reform through the SHS Work Immersion to prepare

learners for their career choices.

According to DepEd Order 30 s, 2017. Work Immersion aims to teach

students how to: (1) appreciate the importance of applying the principles and

theories learned in school; (2) improve their technical knowledge and skills; (3) improve

their communication and human relations skills; and (4) develop good work habits,

attitudes, appreciation, and respect for work. Job skills pertain to the competencies of

students in their area of work immersion and their abilities to perform tasks assigned to

them. (Jestoni R. Alcobendas 2022)
