Developing a Model for Stakeholder Engagement Management for Senior High School Work Immersion Program

Work Immersion is the key culminating feature in K to 12 Senior High School Program. Different experiences and concerns among internal and external stakeholders in school arose on its pilot implementation in 2017. The study was designed to develop a model for stakeholder engagement management for Technical Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) Strand Immersion Program. The mixed-method of research specifically Sequential Exploratory design was used among 105 purposively selected respondents in 8 Schools Division in Region III where ontological principles though open ended questionnaires were utilized. Participants were composed of work immersion students, work immersion teachers, partnership coordinators and school heads. After manual coding in the qualitative phase there were 48-factors identified, clustered into three themes namely: significant learning experiences, work immersion issues, concerns and challenges, and stakeholder engagement practices. To eliminate biases, thematic data underwent exploratory factor analysis where 11 factors were identified to have high factorability based on its eigenvalues. Moreover, using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin with a computed value of .660 that signifies that the data gathered is suitable for structure detection and the approximated Chi-Square value of 5551.670 significant at the .000 exact level of probability. Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity duly supports the suitability of data since it shows very strong positive correlation between each identified thematic factors that leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Significant learning experiences like attitudes of obedience, self-control, self-discipline, service-oriented, cooperation and skills of having focus and maintaining good working conditions were acquired during work immersion and were considerable factors for engagement of stakeholders. The proposed Work Immersion Stakeholder Engagement (WISE) model aims to address issues, concerns, and challenges in implementing work immersion in order to sustain and established linkages with partner industries as venues for the aforementioned program.
