Industry immersion guidebook for dual education and training

One of the key features of the Philippine K to 12 Program is that it provides specializations for employment. Senior High School (SHS) students can choose from four tracks: (1) Academic, (2) Arts and Design, (3) Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL), and (4) Sports.

One of the key features of the Philippine K to 12 Program is that it provides specializations for employment. Senior High School (SHS) students can choose from four tracks: (1) Academic, (2) Arts and Design, (3) Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL), and (4) Sports. After finishing a Grade 12 in a TVL track, a student may obtain a National Certificate Level II (NC II), provided he/she passes the competency-based assessment of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). The NC improves the employability of graduates.

This guidebook is a blueprint for schools and their industry partners to implement the dual education and training (DET) approach as an optional delivery mode in the TVL tracks of SHS. DET is a twofold approach to learning that ensures a proper balance of theory and practice with the goal of maximizing the potentials of students for immediate employment after graduation. The theoretical part is taught in a classroom setting while the practical side is fulfilled in the companies through Industry Immersion. The guidebook is a product of a participatory process where selected schools and industries were engaged in a series of workshop initiated by the German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce (GPCCI).
