Abstract:
One of the course requirements for senior high school students to graduate is the work
immersion program, which aims to better prepare the students to pursue higher education,
manage a business, and find employment.
This study was intended to identify the first-hand experiences in the implementation of
work immersion and the challenges encountered by the tech-voc students, which served as
the basis for the proposed contextualized TVL work immersion program for senior high school.
The researcher used a qualitative approach to research—case analysis. An interview
was conducted among the tech-voc senior high school graduates among the selected TVL
schools.
The researcher found that the research participants experienced a warm welcome
from the partner industry, positive interaction among co-workers and superiors, good and
constructive feedback, and exemplary work ethics. In addition, they have shared the personal
impact of work immersion, such as in employment, higher education, entrepreneurship, and
middle-level skill development. However, different challenges were encountered by the
participants, specifically work immersion duration, punctuality issues, and skills misalignment.
