Abstract:

The study conducted at Olongtao National High School aimed to assess the performance of Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students during their Work Immersion program, a crucial component of their curriculum. Employing a descriptive method, the research evaluated the students' performance over 80 hours of immersion, utilizing input from cooperating industry supervisors and teachers. The study's purpose was to meticulously assess the quality of the program, as advocated by Garcia (2011). Participants included teachers from Olongtao National High School, personnel from the Municipal Police Station, Municipal Social Worker and Development, and Disaster Risk Reduction and Management at Macalelon Local Government Unit, who served as supervisors for the students. The focus on Grade 12 HUMSS and their work immersion subject aimed to inform the School Work Immersion Plan (SWIP) for subsequent years. Results indicated that students excelled in work habit formation and demonstrated very satisfactory levels of work skills and competence. Notably, they exhibited outstanding interpersonal and human relation skills, garnering the highest weighted mean. However, there were areas for improvement, particularly in interpersonal and work skills, indicating a need for targeted interventions in future SWIP iterations. In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of continuous evaluation and refinement of work immersion programs to enhance the overall performance of HUMSS students, ultimately ensuring their readiness for the workforce.
