INTRODUCTION

Work Immersion is a part of Senior High School curriculum where the

Grade 12 students immerse themselves to work to an actual job like offices etc.
Work Immersion can last up to 80 hours and can’t be missed not even a single
minute and all those hours were put into real work depending on the courses
you choose. Work Immersion is done outside and inside the school campus but
in this case of COVID 19, Some students were working inside and school
campus and some other students can only work inside their houses.
In Work Immersion, students are given task and work to become familiar
about the work-related environment of the field they take on, getting the idea on
how it feels to be an employee on a job and it can also enhance their skills and
experiences. All that relevant information from the work immersion they take
can be useful in the future for students who will soon get an actual job from the
course they take. It can develop some skills like, social skills, technical skills,
knowledge, human relations, habits, critical thinking, attitudes, respect, all of
this are taught in work immersion. When satisfaction meets its end, Grade 12
can proceed to graduate and the hopes of continuing going to universities,
college and much more.
This narrative report was made by the Grade 12 ICT students specifically
Ganz Paña, Ivan Granada and Valiant Villamor that contains their experiences
throughout the 80 hours of work immersion and with some documents and
photos that they need to be pass in this narrative report particularly in Saint
Michael College of Hindang, Leyte.
 COMPANY PROFILE

Saint Michael College of Hindang, Leyte, Inc. is a private, Catholic school founded in
1948. It was built to provide more education programs to the residents of Hindang.
Initially, the college offered associate and short courses, and eventually, after two
years, it offered a high school program. Because of a typhoon tragedy in 1951 that
affected the school facilities, the college department had a significant decrease in
enrollment. This led to the school being renamed Saint Michael Academy in 1983
until its re-opened collegiate courses in 2001.

Saint Michael College currently has a high school program, with Grade 7 until Grade
12. The Senior High School department offers ABM, HUMSS, ICT, IA, and HE. For
the college department, the available bachelor's degree programs are in Elementary
and Secondary Education, Business Administration, and Entrepreneurship.

These are the list of Officers and Administrators in Saint Michael College, Hindang,
Leyte.

Saint Michael College fact:

SMC Hindang has a Work-Study Program that offers part-time job opportunities on
campus. Students have the advantages of having a free tuition fee, having free book
rental, and being exempted from some miscellaneous and laboratory fees.
To cater to the demand of and need for education of the Hindanganons, the late Judge
Pacifico V. Ybañez orchestrated the birth of Saint Michael College (SMC) in the year
1948.
Judge Pacifico V. Ybañez was the Honorary President of SMC. With him as partners
in the realization of his goal were Mr. Agustin Fulvadora as Principal and Mrs.
Miguela M. Ybañez as Registrar. The magic three were the School Board of Trustees
then.
The school offered for the first time Associate of Arts, Junior Normal Education,
Typing and Stenography. On October 12, 1950, a certificate was issued to open
complete Secondary Education.
The school continued its normal operation until it faced a devastating tragedy in
December of 1951. A super typhoon Amy shattered not only the convent which was
used as the school house but also the books in the library, laboratory equipment and
apparatus and various office supplies as well.
That particular occurrence greatly affected the enrollment in the following year except
for the Junior Normal College and the Two-Year Liberal Arts. However, the
Secondary Education continued its operation.
As expected, due to the non-operation of the College Department, in the year 1983,
the word "College" was replaced with "Academy". Since then up to the school year
2000-2001, the school had been using the name "Saint Michael Academy".
In the school year 2001-2002, the new set of the School Board of Trustees decided to
reopen the college program. It was in the said school year that the school acquired a
permit from the Commission of Higher Education (CHED) and from Technological
Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to offer Bachelor of Elementary Education,
Bachelor of Secondary Education, Bachelor of Arts and Two-Year Computer
Programming. However, due to the scarcity of enrollment, after one year of operation,
the Bachelor of Arts program was closed. With the offerings of the mentioned college
programs, the name "Saint Michael Academy" was again replaced with "Saint
Michael College" consistent with its SEC Registration dated February 15, 1956.
Saint Michael College was the original name of the school from June 1950 to March
1983, or for a period of thirty (30) years it had been called and known by such name.
From June 1983 up to March 2001, or for a period of fifteen (15) years, the school had
been called and known as Saint Michael Academy, because the college department
was no longer in operation. However, there was no written record or document as
legal basis for changing the name to Saint Michael Academy.
In an affidavit executed by Carlosito T. Ybanez, the school President it stated that
from June 2001 up to February 2002, the school name was changed to Saint Michael
College of Hindang, Inc. because college department was in operation. However, in a
Supplemental Affidavit executed by the school president Mr. Ybanez on March 2,
2002, it stated that through inadvertence, the word Leyte was omitted between
Hindang and Inc. and that the true name of the school is Saint Michael College of
Hindang, Leyte, Inc.
Since 2002 up to the present the school has been using the name Saint Michael
College of Hindang, Leyte, Inc. The school offers Secondary Education: Complete
Junior High School with Government Recognition No. 007 series of 2002; Complete
Senior High School with Government Permit (Private) No. 026 s. 2015 - Academic
Track (HUMSS & ABM); TVL Track- HE(Bread & Pastry, Cookery);
ICT(Computer Programming); IA (Electrical Installation & Maintenance, SMAW I &
II.
The school also offers Tertiary Education with the following courses: Four-Year
Elementary Education Course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Elementary
Education (BEED) with Government Recognition No. 16 s. 2004; Four-Year
Secondary Education Course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Secondary
Education (BSED) with Government Recognition No. 17 s. 2004; Four-Year Bachelor
of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) with Government Recognition No. 38
s. 2010; Four- Year Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (BSEntrep) with
Government Recognition No. 37 s. 2010; and Computer Programming NC IV-1874
Hours with Certificate of TVET Program Registration WTR No. 0608034046, January
23, 1998.
From then on, the school has undergone changes in administration, an increase in
enrolment and improvements in the physical structure with the renovations and
construction of additional classrooms and the construction of additional buildings.
At present, the school has regularly produced high school graduates and college
graduates who successfully passed board examinations and alumni who have earned
public recognition for achieving excellence in their own fields. The school has
achieved its vision, mission and goal and has been of service to the students, the
parents, and the stakeholders and the people not only in Hindang but also the people in
the neighboring towns.
This is the proof that Saint Michael College of Hindang, Leyte Inc. has remained true
to its commitment to excellence in education.

NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE

A. Orientation Phase

Our Orientation is all about the teaching on how to do list like and what
we expect in 2 weeks of work immersion. We expected that the work will do is
held in our old classroom full of computers, the computer lab. At first, we were
confused on how do we expect our work immersion, maybe some frights too but
and also curious on what’s next is going to happened. We know sir is nice but a
bit strict when it comes to work immersion, as long you follow Sir’s orders, we
should be fine and so is Sir too. Rules are also strict but respectable, no phones
during work times, wearing proper attire, never be late, and don’t go home too
early, and observe tidiness.

B. Immersion Phase

Work Immersion Phase has been one of the greatest experiences we had,
of course it’s this whole purpose on why we need Work Immersion in the first
place which is the major part of our experience. At first, we had to clean our old
classroom which is really dusty and the computers are in need of cleaning and
update. Sir teaches us on how to get things started and the rest were up to us
now, our workmates are willing to cooperate each other if something is going
on and that way it wouldn’t give us a hard time. The Immersion Phase has been
a hit or miss situation because at that time a lot of computers aren’t working and
we were forced to use only 3 computers which is lacking because they were 6 of
us working hardly and wants to finish the projects quick. What matters worse is
that one of our computers is defective, like shutting down its own and we can’t
do anything about it but to hopes on not shutting down again. But overall, it was
an experience we can’t forget and We can’t say it’s a good one nor a bad one.
 ACTUAL WORKING PHASE

A. Observation Phase

So, what we have observe is that everyone seems to work hard

throughout this work immersion, the people we worked with seems pretty nice,
and an overall good experience. In the first day, our boss taught us how to clean
the system units because it is the key point of our work immersion is to make
our PCs work in order for us to work. On how to setup the computer’s
peripherals and monitors, on how the wirings work, and on how to install the
OS’ computer. This is all just the beginning on starting our journey for this
work immersion, next up is our boss teaches us to encode stuff for the exams,
books or etc. There is this program which is common for most people who
works in the office are Microsoft Word and Excel, its where we use for us to
encode paper works and in order for us to work like it used to be. Next up is the
library which that place is where we encode books physically. The librarian
taught us on how we encode those books individually and making sure there
that every book is encoded properly. And once it’s all done, we call it a rest and
the end of our work immersion.

B. Participation Phase
 So, first day was literally cleaning the office itself which is a classroom
we have to use. While we were cleaning the office, we also had to clean the
system units that were dusty and then once cleaned we also have to setup the
computer from monitor to peripherals. And once we were all done that, we have
to install the computers with Windows 10 operating systems. Later days we
have to encode one book and one of us has each pages on where to encode and
other stuff. That was our first whole weeks of service. 2nd week of work
immersion, we went to the library and encode all the books in the shelves. Title,
Edition, Year Copyright and number of books is all we need to encode and once
we all encode the books in the library, we had to rewrite everything in the Excel
application back to our office. And the 2nd to the last and the last day, we have
to encode the paper that our Sir gave us which is quick to finish. After all that
we call it an accomplishment and we finish it swiftly and smoothly although
there are times that kind of bother us sometimes but overall, it was a good
experience.

Our work immersion improves us some skills like problem solving and
decision making on our own and we we’re given up the job we’re assigned. All
the task is not really difficult but we also feel exhausted like lifting the books,
examine and encoding but we reach the destination to finish and we managed it.

C. Working Management
 It’s sometimes not so consistent. Random shutdowns on computers can
happened sometimes and it can be frustrating because all the hard work were
encoded is just erased in one shutdown. What’s worst is that the computer
doesn’t save your work when it shut downs so the only choice you have is to
use a flash drive to save our documents. But overall, the rest like encoding
books physically and cleaning the laboratory is been an alright experience and it
went consistent. Cooperating with our workmates and our seniors is also pretty
consistent and found no issues so far.

D. Additional Services

We are asked to stay in the computer lab and library so additional service
in our experience seems absent because our teachers are busy somewhere
without our sights. Sometimes when we do nothing, we just idle ourselves until
new task was given to us but if there were an opportunity where other people
gives us task, we do the errands for them just for us to make sure we keep
working.

Problem Encounter and Solution

 There is a major issue in our workplace, most of the computers
don’t work and can’t be installed with an operating system and some of
them seems to be defective. The only solution we have left is to use the
computers we have what’s left. At first, they were 5 computers working
but in the long run 3 has survived and used most of the time. Another
issue is the library. Library is really dusty and some of our workmates
we’re sneezing a lot and end up with snot problems. The solution is that
we use mask to compensate the dust and it did help us preventing
breathing the dust from the library. Random shut downs happened to us
computers and It can be frustrating at times what matters worse we can’t
backup the files because the computer from the workplace were deep
freeze to prevent the virus from the computer but that doesn’t help us
conveniently. So, we don’t have choice but to rewrite everything again.
The criticism we asked ourselves is that they need a working functional
computer without defects that can frustrate the workers and not just the
workers but the students who will use the computer in the future.

CHAPTER 3
Conclusion

Work immersion has been an experience to student like us, experiencing

on how it feels to be a job has been a valuable experience to be and can be used
in the future. Two weeks of work immersion also taught us mentally, socially
and physically. It helps us develop our skills further than ever before. We
learned that differences of personality can affect our way of work. We learned
that despite that our workmates had the same work immersion and courses, we
acted differently in order to fulfill our objectives further. In conclusion, it’s all
about experiences and the way we taught in a hard way can make this possible
to work through this work immersion program.

Recommendation

Respect each other, whether if it’s your boss or your employee

differences aside, you should not let your emotions interrupt your work or else
the flow of your work might not be planned as it be. Think critically and take
your work seriously, a job is not something you play around. It’s alright to silly
around if you have the time but while working it’s best to take your job
seriously or else you might get in trouble and might ruin your career. Love your
work, as harsh is the reality is, not loving your work means you’re not
motivated yourself to work hard, so find a job that suits your personality or your
needs. And lastly, don’t let the negativity get you in your way. That way you
can have at least the peace of mind that working this course might not be a bad
thing after all.
