JOB FAIR AND EXPO

By conducting an annual or bi-annual Job Fair, we are giving

opportunities for our learners and graduates to:
1. observe and appreciate exhibits and demonstrations related with
various industries and workplaces;
2. gather first-hand information from employers on respective firms,
processes and expectations;
3. inquire further on and align their abilities, skills and qualifications
with industry requirements; and
4. appraise one’s choice of a field of endeavor and strengthen one’s
commitment towards end employment (Batara, 2008).
Partner institutions, representatives from public and private offices,
firms, and industries are invited here to select and hire prospect
employees among the graduates and showcase to all the learners the
processes of their businesses and their expectations when it comes to
hiring their workforce.

ESTABLISHING A JOB PLACEMENT
PROGRAM
By establishing a Job Placement Program in the school, we can guide
our students, particularly those who already graduated but currently
unemployed to:
1. analyze and evaluate choices of an occupational field;
2. gather courage to approach potential employers, to write a letter of
application, to fill out job application forms, to conduct oneself
during job interviews, how and when to follow up job application;
3. detect how to properly live and work with various others and
superiors;
4. discover how to locate appropriate job opportunities and referrals to
potential employers directly or through employment agencies; and
5. assess the career guidance program they have participated in

This program must be supported by

the community, particularly the public
and private partner institutions,
business firms, local government
employment agency officers, and guest
employers.
ANNUAL CAREER SYMPOSIUM
Symposium can be a one-time
conference or formal meeting which
includes discussions of public
speeches of community experts or
professionals for a particular field.
Senior High School students
can gain a lot of insights from these
symposia, particularly if the
discussions hit specific
competencies related to their tracks
and strands.
This Annual Career Symposium can be done during the Career Fair
or Career Week, wherein a panel discussion will be organized with
representatives from various partner institutions of the school like:
1. Local government unit;
2. Private companies;
3. Cooperatives; and
4. Non-Government Organization.

During the Career Symposium conducted by University of Maine Farmington

WORK IMMERSION
Work immersion, as a subject in Senior High School curriculum,
involves hands-on experience or work simulation, wherein the learners
can apply their competencies and acquired knowledge related to their
chosen track.
The involvement of the school’s stakeholders like the local
government, non-government organizations, and private business
enterprises can become the partner institutions of the school wherein they
can deploy their work immersion students.
The following are the objectives of Work Immersion:
1. Appreciate the importance and application of the principles and
theories;
2. Enhance their technical knowledge and skills;
3. Enrich their skills in communications and human relations; and
4. Develop good work habits, attitudes, appreciation and respect for
work.
CAREER WEEK OR CAREER FIESTA
The Career Guidance Week is a celebration which aims to prevent
too much waste of resources including time being spent in producing
graduates in the tertiary level as well as in technical vocational education
who could not meet the qualification standards in the labor market.
It aims to avoid mismatch between:
1. interest/aptitude and career;
2. career and labor demand; and
3. education/training and career results from uninformed and
misguided students (DepEd Order no. 25
s. 2013).

Activities during Career Guidance Week which may

involve the community:
1. Career Planning with DOLE
2. Career Talk with CHED, TESDA, DOST, Private Industries, and
Partner Institutions
3. Career Tour/School Tour
