The document discusses work immersion, which is defined as a requirement for senior high school students in the Philippines to undergo work experience related to their field of specialization. It describes work immersion as taking place outside of school in a workplace setting. The objectives are for students to gain practical skills, appreciate classroom theories, enhance technical knowledge and skills, and develop good work habits. Work immersion involves three stages - pre-immersion preparation, the immersion period itself, and a post-immersion reflection. Pre-immersion includes training in workplace ethics, rights, resume writing and interviews to prepare students for their work experience.
