Work Immersion Portfolio (Teletech)
Work Immersion Portfolio (Teletech)
Work Immersion Portfolio (Teletech)
As part of the K-12 program, we, Grade 12 students are all required to go through Work Immersion
based and connected on our strand and specialization. It enables us to gain and to enhance our knowledge and
skills that will help us in what the future holds upon us.
This portfolio exhibits my journey and experience throughout my Work Immersion in the Human
Capital Services Team at TeleTech. It will display the importance of work immersion, background of the
workplace, accomplishment reports, reflections, and photos from the immersion.
After completing the 120 hours, I want to give my utmost respect and appreciation to every worker
because having a job is not as easy as some people thought it might be. Work requires your body—physically
and mentally, to be fit and to always have strength. You’ll be faced with obstacles that will challenge your
ability.
But at the end of the day, it will help you grow and become a better version of yourself.
Through the help of people who loved, supported, and trusted me, I have finished my work immersion with
learnings that urge me to do well for my future endeavor.
To Ma, Pa, Kuya, and Reyn, my family, for being an inspiration & motivators in everything that I do and for
always being there for me – in ups and down. For the unconditional love and support you’ve given me all
throughout the years, I couldn't ask for more. Mahal na mahal ko kayo!
To Dr. Maria Noemi Martinez Moncada, our beloved principal, who have made this successful work
immersion possible for every Grade 12 HUMSS and ABM students of Lagro High School and enable us to
become ready for the possible challenges we’ll be facing in the future.
To Mr. Dennis M. Angeles, our ASTP for Special Programs and Projects (SHS) & HUMSS and ABM
Coordinator, in accommodating and guiding us throughout the work immersion.
To Mr. Lord Ever Digan, our work immersion adviser, despite being busy talking with different companies
that will be beneficial and aligned to our chosen course, still have time to prepare and honed us well—
emotionally and mentally, before starting the work immersion.
To Ma’am Lorna Mendoza, for accompanying us on the fir st day of wor k immer sion and for always
keeping tabs on what we do and reminding us on what is right and good.
To Ma’am Karen Pastoral, our class adviser , for always suppor ting and encour aging us to become a
better version of ourselves.
To Human Capital Services Team of TeleTech, for accepting and teaching me and my co-interns whole-
heartedly throughout the work immersion. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have such memorable and
fun experience!; and
To myself, who stay true to herself, gives her utmost best in every tasks, and didn't give up when
experiencing hardships during the work immersion.
I'll be dedicating this portfolio, the result of my hard work and perseverance:
To Ma, Pa, Kuya, Reyn, and my relatives, the reasons as to who am I today, who keeps pushing me
to do things that will make me happy and will help me grow as a better person.
To Ma’am Joanne Joyce Malaca, Specialist at TeleTech and wor k immer sion super visor , for
being so considerate, patient, and understanding to us. The trust you have given us is too overwhelming and
we gladly used that as a motivation to do our best in every task you assigned to us.
To 12 – Confucius, my classmates, despite our differ ences it didn’t stop us in becoming a close,
united, and fun section. 10 months is a long time for us to be together and unfortunately it’s nearly coming to
its end. Let’s make the remaining months the most of it. Unti na lang graduation na. Kaya natin to!
To my friends, we’ve always have each other’s back and support in any circumstances and for that
I’m really thankful. Here’s to more years of friendship!
To God, our almighty Father, who never fails to give me guidance and strengths in everything that I

Experience is as important as education. It is significant for one to apply in the real world what he has
learned inside the classroom. Preparing a person to take on actual job is something you could not just limit within a
school. Besides being oriented by their teachers for the things that could occur in a workplace, students should be
given the chance to be a part of that environment before actually taking on these jobs full-time. Moreover,
companies value an applicant’s experience on tasks that are helpful with their goals. Studies have shown that
graduates with work experience are more likely to get employed rather than those who do not. With all these points
taken into account, the Department of Education has included Work Immersion as one of the key features of the
Senior High School curriculum.
Work Immersion is a work simulation done in partner institutions and agencies that are in line with
specialization of the students. They have to under go Wor k Immer sion in an industr y that is aligned to their
postsecondary goal (employment, entrepreneurship, further skills training through TESDA, and college education).
For at least 120 hours, they will be exposed to a work-related environment which would allow them to become
more familiar with their specialization. It serves as a good opportunity for the students to gain valuable knowledge
and useful skills, learn how to work with people who are diverse in personalities and backgrounds, and determine
who they are as a worker and how that affects them as an individual.
Thus, Work Immersion provides the students of Lagro High School the opportunity to discover themselves
in a way that formal education cannot. Pr inciples and theor ies finally become tested hypotheses, self-centric
queries are officially answered. Through this portfolio, the effectiveness of Work Immersion will be revealed. It
shall give insights on the issues that may arise and provide information on the factors that may affect the
implementation of the curriculum.

WEEK NO. DATE SPECIFIC ACTIVITY/ASSIGNED TASKS
report
It was the first week of our work immersion and I was rather excited and giddy than nervous. Ma’am
Joyce Malaca, our immersion supervisor, oriented us about what we would do all throughout our work
immersion.
We were introduced then to the whole Human Capital Services Team, Ma’am Hazelyn, our Team
Leader , Mr. Joey, their senior specialist, Mr. Remar, Ma’am Ren, Mr. Jeff, Mr. Rhasty, Mr. Janski,
Ma’am Dee, and Ma’am Den.
My first task was given by Ma’am Ren who asked help on encoding for the safekeeping of SSS
documents. There were a whole load of papers in a box and I was nervous at first but then while I was
typing different data, I get the hang of it and enjoyed doing it.
This week was full of adjustment and tried doing all our best to do all task accurately and efficiently.
That time as well, I got to be more closer with my co-interns for we would be together this work
immersion.
WEEK NO. DATE SPECIFIC ACTIVITY/ASSIGNED TASKS
report
For the second week, all of us were busy with our own task that led us to be familiarized on what we
were doing. I learned how important it was to always be focus and be attentive all the time.
After encoding, I was tasked to arrange and compile SSS Maternity and Sickness documents
alphabetically and by date order. In doing that, we need to patient and be more attentive in checking the
documents.
When the company's Family Day and Halloween Party were near, we helped the HCS team in
preparing and making their props and design. I enjoyed packaging the candies, chocolates, and sweets that
would be given to all children attending the Halloween party. Some employees even gave us excess
candies and we gladly accepted it, felt like I was a child again.
WEEK NO. DATE SPECIFIC ACTIVITY/ASSIGNED TASKS
report
During the 3rd week, I was still encoding and helping my co-interns arranging and compiling different
SSS documents. I was tasked to check the employees Pag-Asa number in the website.
I was familiarized with the company’s application, Oracle, where I input and checked information of
the employees. At first, I was really nervous for I know that the application was really important and vital
in the company. I was afraid of making any mistakes or errors. As I keep using it, I started enjoying when
I was working it. I was glad that Mr. Joey, trusted me well that he assigned me to do this task and for that,
I used it as a motivation to work really well and do my best.
Before the week ends, me any my co-interns made the HCS team Calendar of Activities, we decided
to keep the design minimally using the materials our supervisor provided us.
WEEK NO. DATE SPECIFIC ACTIVITY/ASSIGNED TASKS
report
This week, new interns from NCBA College came at the company. We guided and assisted them on
taking their own IDs and Badges. They asked us about the things that we do in the company and we
answered them well. As days passed by, we got to know them well and became close.
Unfortunately, our time in the company was coming to it’s end. During our last day, we received our
Certificate of Completion. It seemed surreal. Felt like it was just the first day and yet we’re now saying
goodbye to the HCS team.
I have learned many things that will help me do well in the future for my job. I knew it helped me
become a better version of myself. I would cherish and treasure the experiences and moments from the
company, team, and co-interns that guided me to successfully finished the work immersion.
Being true to yourself and everyone around you, being respectful, understanding, and punctual leads
to a good environment. Through that, I was able to make this immersion memorable and a once in a
lifetime experience.
For that, I can confidently say that I was ready for the hardships and challenges that I will face in the
near future.
Flash. In just a blink of an eye, it’s over. End.
Experiencing something new and fresh made my body tingle with excitement, making me feel butterflies in
my stomach. It’s ending has been something I was not ready to face and yet here I am reminiscing unforgettable
memories during the work immersion.
The cold air and refreshing smell – that’s what welcomed me every time I stepped inside the building.
Greeting the guard who always checked our bag, cheerfully. Taking the stairs and counting the steps that is
probably in sync with the beating of my heart. Going through a maze-like office and finding the familiar faces of
my co-interns or the team who are made up of different employees with different personalities who had accepted us
wholeheartedly.
Stretching my neck, arms, and fingers before trying to find a comfortable seating position and making
myself be ready and focus on the main task that was given to me – encoding. Looking and checking if the numbers
and letters I input was accurate, requires a great amount of focus and long patience. I’ve been tasked as well to
arrange different documents on alphabetical order. Removing excess documents and labelling files based on dates.
Xeroxing was the easiest and relaxing task that I did, I was fascinated by the machine for it is fast and relatively
advanced.
All throughout the work immersion, one thing that leaves a great impact on me was how work become easy
and enjoyable when you have a passion doing it. Otherwise, it will only lead to disappointments and failures. Being
a respectful, understanding, and an open-minded person was one of the most important lessons that I’ve learned.
You’ll get to enjoy work as well if you’re in good relationship with your co-workers. Asking for help is okay, it
doesn’t make you less as a worker, especially if it’s a hard task and you have other piled up works to do.
Punctuality and honesty is a must. Avoid being late and not prioritizing works. Finishing assigned tasks on
time is such a relief – feeling like a weight has been lifted of your shoulders. Being organized and responsible in
everything that you do.
Lastly, being true to yourself and everyone around you brings tranquility. It makes you excited for an
another day to come. Preparing for an another journey that will help you grow to become a better version of
yourself, there might be ups and down but that’s life. That’s how it works. Acceptance, adjustment, and adapting
are all that’s needed.
During our immersion period we have encountered problems which we have learned to cope with.
However, we hope that they will be all taken into consideration for the benefit of the succeeding batch of
students who will also undergo work immersion:
Our Work Immersion was supposed to start on October 15, 2018 but unfortunately
due to some circumstances, we started our immersion 3 days late, October 18, 2018. We
needed to finish 15 days for us to complete 120 hours. Resumption of classes was on
November 7, 2018 where it would clash with our schedule in the company. It led us to having
a half-day that time and immediately going straight to school. It was tiring to say the least.
Our schedule starts from 6AM to 3PM. It was a change where I really need to adjust
for our class is in the afternoon, I often woke up at 9 or 10AM to get ready for school. My
sleeping hours changed as well, I tried sleeping earlier and getting more hours of sleep unlike
the common 5-6 hours that I usually get. For our work immersion, I woke up early at 4AM
because I tend to get ready at a slow pace. I would leave the house quarter to 5AM for my
house is a little bit far from the company and it tends to have traffic.
Experiences allow us to learn from our mistakes and improve from
there. Thus, we would like to recommend the following measures to enrich the
experience of the succeeding batch of students who will also undergo work
immersion.
If you don’t understand something or don’t Always be mindful of your time. Come on
know what to do, avoid being afraid or be shy the office at the exact time or 5 - 10 minutes
to ask questions to your supervisor or other earlier. Leave the office on the designated
employees around you. They will hear you time, do overtime, only if needed and with
out, and answered you. They are there to the permission from the supervisor. When
guide you on your task. It’s better to ask than having breaks, use the time well to eat and
doing everything on your own that may lead have a little rest. Finishing a task based on
to mistakes and regrets. the time you set.
INTERVIEW & ORIENTATION
FOCUS. The first task that was given to me was encoding. At first, it was easy for I am much familiar
using the Microsoft Excel but I realized how challenging it was because I’ll be encoding numbers and
names of different employees and what type of document was used.
PATIENCE. Arranging the SSS Maternity and Sickness documents by year and alphabetically
takes up a lot of time but we have finished the task accurately.
CONCENTRATION. My main task would be encoding different data that mainly focuses on the
employees’ information.
COSPLAYING. Different teams will have two representatives that have their own concept. The
HCS team decided to have the concept of “Mulawin”.
