INTRODUCTION
The ASHS enrolment dramatically increased from 294 to 541 and there is an urgent need for the school to increase partnerships with industries for the Work Immersion implementation for SY 2018-2019. This project aims to develop, implement and determine the effectiveness of the project Work Immersion Deployment, Monitoring, and Completion for the School Year 2018-2019.
METHODS
This included two major activities, Planning and Preparation and the Actual Implementation. Planning and Preparationwere done by the Work Immersion team through conducting meetings with the teachers, the PTA Officers, prospective business partners, students, and parents. In the actual implementation, targets that had been worked on were the establishment of partnerships, planning, deployment and monitoring of students, and completion and evaluation of the Work Immersion implementation.
RESULTS
Alangilan Senior High School made additional six industry partnerships for the ABMand Stem students for the School Year 2018-2019 where all the ABM and STEM students were deployed, monitored, and evaluated within the specified time indicated in the action plan. The process of implementing the Work Immersion Program developed Best Practices which shall be the guide for future implementation and benchmark for other schools in the division.
DISCUSSIONS
The six additional business industry partners have shown their interest, willingness and commitment for the Work Immersion of the ABM and STEM students. The students have above-satisfactorily performed in the Work Immersion as shown in the verbal expressions of the industry partners in the Post Conferences conducted by the Work Immersion Coordinators. The Best Practices developed in the implementation of the Work Immersion program could serve as a model that other Senior High Schools could benchmark for their own implementation. The partnership established could be maintained, extended, and increased in numbers for the increasing enrollment of ASHS.
