Introduction
Communication is a skill that you can learn. It is like riding bicycle, if you are willing to work at it then
you can rapidly move and improve every part of your life (Tracy)
Every people interact and communicate in every single day for we cannot stop expressing ourselves.
Trade congress of the Philippines (2015), mentioned that work immersion is done outside the school
campus in a “Work Immersion Value” place. It is the place where work immersion of students is done. Offices,
factories, shops and project sites are the example of work immersion place.
According to DepEd (2017), the main goal of work immersion is to improve student’s competencies
with the help of their mentors, work ethics and values in joining the world of work. Students must not only
expose in working areas to improve their knowledge about their future careers but also to improve such
particular skills that they could use not only in the workplace but also in their life.
Base on Lucanus (2017), He said that communication is a dynamic process as it involve an interaction
between two or more people. Verbal communication and non-verbal communication are the major components
of communication. Oral communication can be express can be express through speech where it would be able to
help students in expressing their insight and it actually plays a crucial role in student’s life.
