Summary and Findings

The results show that:

1. Most of the respondents were female, while the

rest is male.

2. The students that were mostly at age 19 – 20

years of age.

3. Most of the students have critically express

their ability to improve and knowledge about

having work immersion.

4. Most of the student wants to expand their

ability and discover more in terms of office

work.

5. Among the problem that students encountered,

some of the work in the field of humanities are

intended for women most affect the work immersion

of Grade 12 (HUMMS) as it ranked 1. Then, LGBT

students are not welcome to the work place also

affects the work immersion as it ranked 2. Also,

the ability to demonstrate the knowledge and

skills needed in by the student and conduct a

return demonstration to evaluate the

effectiveness of students understanding and

comprehension also affects the work immersion of

Grade 12 as it ranked 3.

6. Students need to acquire to learn about the

environment of being employee.

Conclusion

1. Most of the respondents was grade 12 students,

encountered about factors that affect the work

immersion of the students and capability to

comprehends what are the way to be the trainee

student.

2. To be the best trainee student should be

responsible at all times.

3. Students of grade 12 Humanities and Social Science

are still encountered and experience unwell being

trainee at the certain work place.

4. To be a good trainee they must be respect one

another for better work place and to build

friendship.

PROBLEM AND IT’S SETTING

INTRODUCTION

In addition to that, these same skills can also be

reinforced through on-the-job training programs. On-the-

job training (OJT) programs are providing an opportunity

to apply the theories, principles and ideas learned in the

academe under supervision. These training programs expose

the students to work realities which will ideally hone

their skills and prepare them once they get out the

university or college. According to Lubiano Work Immersion

refers to the part of the Senior High School (SHS)

Curriculum consisting of 80 hours of hands-on experience

or work simulation which the Grades 12 and 12 students

undergo to expose them to the actual workplace setting and

to enrich the competencies provided by the school under

the supervision of the School Head and the designated

personnel of the Partner. According to Department of

Education Order No.30s. 2017, one of the goals of the K to

12 Basic Education program is to develop in learners the

competencies, work ethics and values relevant to pursuing

further education and or joining the world of work. In

order that the nations development target will be realized

and to achieve greater congruence with the basic

education, has been incorporated in the curriculum.

Magno (2018) stated that they will be competent to

their respective field of interests and will they be skill

full and knowledgeable enough to help suffice the economic

needs of the Philippines Specially in the man power field.

The Government comes up to implementing work immersion

that will be conducted depending on what the Learners

purpose or needs. And before further discussing, I totally

agree on this stand for it will be one of the key

practices on improving Students performances.

According to Llego. Though the intention of Work

Immersion is to provide Senior High School learners with

opportunities to become familiar with the workplace,

simulate employment, and to apply their competencies in

areas of specialization applied subjects in actual work

environments, DepEd recognizes other options that equally

prepare learners for all curriculum exits.

For all tracks, schools may different forms of learning

materials to devise unique delivery model with a minimum

of 80 and maximum of 320 hours following the curriculum

REVIEW AND RELATED LITERATURE

FOREIGN LITERATURE

Work immersion refers to the part of the Senior

High School (SHS) Curriculum consisting of 80 hours of

hands-on experience or work simulation which the grade 12

students will undergo to expose them to the actual

workplace setting and to enrich the competencies provided

by the school under the supervision of the school head and

the designated personnel of the partner.

Meanwhile, work immersion is somewhat similar in

internship or on-the-job training done by college

students. They have things in common like letting students

undergo and experience actual works in particular

workplace. On the other hand, they differ in some loads

and number of hours they will consume. Therefore, most of

the following studies discusses about the on-the-job

training.

Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary, Mr.

Armin Luistro quoted “We want our students to be aware of

the importance of choosing a track that suites their

interest while at the same time matches the available

resources as well as job opportunities that await them.”

He also added that through work immersion, the students

are exposed to and become familiarized with work related

environment related to their field of specialization.

Specifically, the students are able to gain relevant and

practical industrial skills under the guidance of industry

experts and workers appreciate the importance and

application of the principles the theories taught in the

school; enhance their technical knowledge and skills; and

prepare them to meet the needs and challenges of

employment or higher education after their graduation.

One of the goals of the K to 12 Basic Education

Program is to develop the learners the competencies, work

ethic, and values relevant to pursuing further education

and/or joining the word of work. To achieve greater

congruence between basic education and the nation’s

development targets, Work Immersion, a required subject,

has been incorporated into the curriculum. This subject

will provide learners with opportunities to become

familiar with the work place; for employment simulation;

ant to apply their competencies in areas of

specialization/applied subjects in authentic work

environments. To achieve the said objectives, Work

immersion is thus a requirement for the graduation from

secondary education. Learners are immersed in actual work

environments such as workshops offices and laboratories in

which their prior training is relevant.

In the Philippines, Youth Economic Development.

Also the different sectors lack of knowledge, skill and

work experience puts them at a disadvantage. One way to

address this is through the Department of Education’s

Senior High School (SHS) program, ushered by the K-12

education reform. One of its components the work immersion

program, provides students real work place experience,

giving students a set of technical vocational livelihood

skills that can help them make more informed career choice

and improve their employment prospects.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate and

study the efficacy of foreign immersion programs in terms

increasing cross culture awareness among the different

university student in business, accounting human resources

and agriculture. The authors extrapolate from their

populations to the practice of developing business

professional on international assignments

This paper present findings of a four-years

government sponsored university exchanges program

involving 40 professional management and agriculture

science students from four US and Brazilian top research

universities who experience. Pre-departure and post-

exchange data were collected using the well-stablished

Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). In addition,

the authors collected academic performance data and verbal

mid and end project personal assessment. To of the authors

of this paper served as project directors, the third as

evaluation specialist.

Generally, every section of social as well as European

students strongly encourage its students to spend some

time at a university where their target language. Below

you will find information about the various exchange

possibilities that are offered through the School and the

university. Student will receive University of Guelph

credits for courses that they successfully complete at the

exchange institution for more information, consult the

faculty advisor of your language section and Center for

International Programs on campus.

In addition the response to the academic college

of national and international significance, higher

education system needs to focus on systemic reform to

strengthen and make more competitive their output and

service (Buted, Felicen & Manzano 2014). The university

may continue implement the outcome- based education

further strengthen the capability of the students compete

with the graduates of member countries. Most

universities in the country are already under taking some

of the educational practices involved in OBE. What they

really need know in proper documentation evidences of

assessments and evaluation of the effectiveness of the

program educational objectives which well prove that the

graduates a really equipped with essential knowledge,

values (behavior) and skills that can contribute to the

development of the community (Laguador & Dotong 2014)

According to Valdez (2010), the curriculum may

continue to revisit periodically to align the skills

needed by the industry. The curriculum should be designed

to prepare the graduates and demonstrate the core

competencies expected of them in the work place. On-the-

job training is the best method as the economical simple

and affective and everybody can do it. It doesn’t need

wide-ranging budgets, complex training course, devoted

training staffs or absence from the work place. Its

effectiveness the significantly enhanced by applying and a

method approach based on Collective data rendering to

this, importantly, each on-the-job model has its own

merits and weaknesses but they all serve the same purpose

of providing the trainees with the opportunity to practice

and learn by doing, they added. UKEssay researchers relate

this to Confucius’ perception, all it do is hear, I will

forget. If I hear and see, I will remember. If I hear, see

and do, I will understand.”

Work immersion teachers and coordinators,

industry partners as well as parents and guardians played

a vital role in developing learners’ self-efficacy.

Parent’s upbringing influenced the level of learner’s

self-efficacy. Home is a primary place where learner

personality development taka place. Proper parenting

contributed a lot to learner’s self-esteem. Teachers at

school nurture the talents and skills of every learner.

They are responsible in instilling the required

competencies in very strand of senior high school

curriculum. Proper orientation of learners before work

immersion deployment contributed a lot to the readiness of

the trainees emphasizing the importance of task completion

and self-efficacy to each trainee helped in accomplishing

the work immersion program successfully.

Work immersion teachers and coordinators should

develop a program focusing on the development of self-

efficacy of the learners before their deployment to

different industry partners. This program would help

learners to trust their own ability and develop their

self-confidence. Thus, learners would be encouraged and

satisfied to be active and motivated to finish work

immersion program.

Engaging undergraduates in publishable research

is challenging skills including researching topics,

statistical knowledge, and writing abilities are

necessary, however, students often face time constraints

are financial challenges that impede them from engaging in

these experiences. Conducting research with

underrepresented students can be an even bigger challenge,

as these groups are known to face additional financial or

family burdens that the traditional student does not face.

This essay reports on the development of an international

field study with the goal of producing publishable

research by undergraduates. To date, 27 students (68%

Hispanic, 52% first generation) have participated in a

week-long immersion field experience in Roatan, Honduras.

As an interdisciplinary field study, students were expose

to animal behavior, ecology concepts, and research methods

through a two-course sequence that incorporated the field

experience. In this essay, we share our best practices for

conducting a field study with students from

underrepresented population with the goal of producing

publishable research. We include the evolution of the

course curriculum that was informed by self-reported

student experiences and a brief description of some of the

projects students designed. Students reported that the

field experience highlighted the importance of adjusting

research plans and expectations. Ultimately, this program

exposed students to advantages and disadvantages of

conducting field research while increasing confidence in

their ability to conduct effective and meaningful

research. A minimum of two semesters may be needed to

create publishable research projects and 1 week of data

collection is not sufficient for successful research

projects.

According to Mendoza (2017) stated that the

acquired skills of the senior high school students gained

after adding two years to basic education through the K to

12 Curriculum, then Department of Education (DepEd) has

released the guidelines for the conduct of work immersion

activities for SHS students in the country. According to

DepEd secretary Leonor Briones, the work immersion is a

key feature in the senior high school curriculum. It can

be conducted in different ways depending on the purposes

and needs of the learners. Was stated in the guidelines

that work immersion will help develop among learner’s life

and career skills, and will prepare them to make decisions

on postsecondary education or employment gearing towards

the four exits envisioned for SHS graduates to choose from

employment, entrepreneurship, further skills training

through TESDA and college education.

The globalization of the economic has created an

urgent need for business schools to better prepare

graduates with the knowledge, skills perspectives they

need in their working lives for a board understanding of

international business practices. In order to full fill

this demand, Researcher have been focusing-among others-on

how a curriculum could be structure and by whom students

should be instructed. Instead, how the programs should be

taught has attracted less attention. This paper introduces

an Innovative Concepts of immersive teaching methods by

building an immersive learning framework. The immersive

learning framework includes four immersive learning

processes which are separated base on the closeness and

degree of similarity to the environment that students

immersed in to during the learning, contiguous and

practical learning. These learning processes are suggested

to be include step by step in order to reach the best

learning outcomes because each process have students to

form different skills and types of knowledge, explicit or

some type of tacit knowledge.

Studies show that a larger number of the

students than ever are participating in learning

experiences abroad. However, such programs are not always

as immersive and intensive as participant’s faculty,

program directors, and administrators would wish. This

study examines the ways in which students created

sustained opportunities to interact with members of the

host community as well as episodes of cultural clash,

miscommunication, and misunderstanding experienced at the

intersection of two cultures that led to diminishing

willingness to interact with members of the host

community. The article concludes with recommendations for

pre-departure experiences that are designed to have

students become more away of the social cultural

identities, cultural values, learning goals, and program

expectations as well as to invest in their own learning

and prepare to engage in sustained and meaningful ways

with members of the host culture.

The goal of increasing the understanding of

other cultures’ worldviews has resulted in increased

numbers of study abroad programs for university student in

Humanities and Social Sciences and health-related

disciplines. Concurrently, goals to increase Family health

promotions and decrease health disparities in vulnerable

populations have become global concerns. Much of the

vulnerability seen in global populations is directly

related to chronic health conditions, social inequities,

and lack of health promotion services available to

families. In an effort to understand complexity of chronic

illness and its impact on vulnerable families, an

international research partnership to conduct cross-

cultural research was created. The intent was to explore

and compare family health issues, disparities in existing

chronic illnesses, social inequities and health care

solutions in multiple countries.

the organizations discussed the current state and the

further of employment for the Filipinos. They also talked

about who to the programs can benefit vote the educational

sector as well as the economy.

Basically, in the issue is the Differences of

expectations that an employer has as Compared to the

expectation that a student has when entering a work

experience program as Park of an expanding school to work

high school work based curriculum. White work experience

program have become an Integral Park of high school

curriculums since, theirs programs seem to falter to a

lack or understanding from both the students prospective

and the employers prospective. Their for this literature

review is attentive to investigate both sides of this

issue. Student and employer. First, employer expectations

as found in the literature will be reviewed. Before this

expectation are reviewed it necessary to review literature

recording SCANS (secretary commission on achieving

necessary) and its relationship to the necessary

employment skills perceived on the part of employments and

students. This study is mainly anchored on issuance of

DepEd Order No. 30, s. 2017, the Department of Education

(DepEd), in support of its K-12 program, mandated academic

institutions that offer Senior High School (SHS) education

to implement work immersion programs. One of the goals of

the K to 12 Basic Education program is to develop in

learners the competencies, work ethics and values relevant

to pursuing further education and or joining the world of

work. In order that the nations development target will be

realized and to achieve greater congruence with the basic

education, work immersion is a required subject that has

been incorporated in the curriculum. Under Annex A of Work

immersion Curriculum Guide, it was emphasized that through

work immersion, students are exposed to and become

familiar with work related environment related to their

field of specialization to enhance their competence. This

is for the purpose that the students can relate directly

to their postsecondary goal. Based from these facts, this

study claims on the focus of the objectives of work

Immersion that by the time learners reach senior High

School, they would have already acquired almost all the

competencies and skills that would prepare them for the

curriculum exits (higher education, employment, middle-

skills development and entrepreneurship). Work immersion

provides them with an avenue to test themselves and apply

what they have learned in a non-school scenario. In work

immersion, learners are not only able to apply their

previous training but are also able to experience the

social interactions in a work environment. Their

experiences during work immersion will develop many skills

and values that would help them as they go on the

transition from high school to real life. In addition,

Dep.Ed. Order No. 40, s.2015 believed that in order to

achieve its desired goals and objectives work immersion

needs to establish partnerships for work immersion

opportunities for students among others. There are many

different delivery models offered by Dep. Ed to be chosen

according to learners’ purposes, needs and partnership

arrangement yet great challenges are being faced by many

internal stakeholders. Jesuit, 2015, many authors and

legal basis has similar concepts of work immersion 16-18

years old students should undergo at least 80 hrs for work

immersion. However, many challenges cropped in its

implementation which the internal stakeholders like

school, teachers, parents, students and partner

institutions concern on the achievements of the objectives

remains a challenge.

profession as to nature of work, work ethics and

therapy with authentic work

Jeanilla (2018) The first batch of senior high

school students strode into their respective school halls

nearly two years ago, complying with the new K-12

curriculum. Stipulated in the new program is the Work

Immersion. The Department of Education (DepEd) had planned

the Work Immersion to enrich the K-12 experience, with its

overall goal being to better prepare senior high school

students for their future goals and careers. Now, with the

school year drawing to a close, how did the country’s

first senior high school students fare?

The announcement of two additional years in high

school had been met with mixed responses. Some had praised

the new curriculum. Former Interior and Local Government

Secretary Mar Roxas had been firm in his belief that the

reform was necessary, and was “something we need to do.”

Others had opposed it. A common issue cited was the

country’s capability (or rather, incapability) of

accommodating the senior high school students, in public

34

high schools, in particular. Sen. Antonio F. Trillanes had

even filed motions against the “ambitious” legislation in

the Supreme Court with other lawmakers in 2015. The case,

and other similar motions, were eventually dropped.

Despite the opposition, the program was still implemented.

In an effort to cope with the influx of

additional high school students, schools across the nation

had scrambled to construct additional buildings and to

hire additional teachers. The DepEd had planned to build

5,899 senior high schools nationwide, granting 1,866

provisional permits to private schools who would offer

senior high school. It had also supposedly hired 37,000

teachers for senior high school in 2016.

Implemented during the administration of Benigno

“Noynoy” Aquino III , the new K- 12 program was meant to

raise Philippine education to global standards. Prior to

the implementation of K- 12, the Philippines was the only

Asian country which was still adopting the basic 10- year

curriculum, and one of the three remaining in the world

( Angola and Djibouti being the other two remaining

countries). Senior high school, as of SY 2016- 2017, was

made legally compulsory. However, students who only

35
Wesleyan University – Philippines
Maria Aurora, 3202 Aurora
Senior High School
____________________________________________________________________________

complete junior high school will only be considered as

Grade 10 completer, not a high school completer. An SHS

diploma would allow a student to be admitted into college.

According to the DepEd website, the revised curriculum is

comprised of kindergarten, elementary, junior high school

and the two year senior high school. This applies to both

private and public schools.

Once a student reaches senior high school

(Grades 11 and 12), they are given a choice of the

following tracks: Academic Track, Technical-Vocational

Livelihood (commonly referred to as Tech-Voc), Sports, and

Arts and Designs. The Academic Track is further divided

into five strands, namely the Accountancy, Business and

Management (ABM) Track; Science, Technology, Engineering

and Mathematics (STEM) Strand; Humanities and Social

Sciences (HUMSS) Strand; General Academic (GA) strand; and

Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime specialization. The TechVoc

track is also further divided into several strands,

specifically Agri-Fishery Arts, Home Economics,

Information and Communications Technology (ICT),

Industrial Arts and TVL Maritime. All students would study

core subjects that are common to all the strands, and

specialized subjects which are specified for the chosen

36
Wesleyan University – Philippines
Maria Aurora, 3202 Aurora
Senior High School
____________________________________________________________________________

strand of students. Despite the range of tracks, not all

schools will be able to offer all the tracks. They would

only offer the tracks that are within the capacity of

their resources.

The school year 2017-2018 would see its first

batch of graduating senior high school students. Before

the march towards the diploma though, the students must

complete Work Immersion, one of the highlight innovations

of K-12. Similar to the On-the-Job Training (OJT) programs

students undergo in colleges, senior high school students,

no matter what the strand, must complete an 80hour work

shift in a company that is aligned to their planned

career. Prior to the Work Immersion, they must take at

least four specialized subjects. The Work Immersion’s main

goal is to give students an in-depth learning experience

of their supposed future workplace. For example, a STEM

student aspiring to be a doctor would then have their Work

Immersion in a hospital, while an ABM student aiming to be

an entrepreneur would “work” in a business. The Work

Immersion acts as a preparation for students, both for

college and actual employment (since, another supposed

benefit of K-12 is to make students more employable even

if they did not go to college).

37
Wesleyan University – Philippines
Maria Aurora, 3202 Aurora
Senior High School
____________________________________________________________________________

There is no specific guideline or law that

dictates that a company is obliged to entertain senior

high school students who need to undergo this program.

Schools themselves are to collaborate with companies that

would accept their students for the Work Immersion,

competing therefore with college students undergoing the

OJT program.The DepEd with the Department of Labor and

Employment (DOLE), had set guidelines to protect students

undergoing Work Immersion (although, they do not consider

Work Immersion as employment).

In an advisory issued on June 30, 2016, it

states that Work Immersion would only be allowed from 8

a.m. to 5 p.m. Children bellow 15 will also require a

permit from their parents, and they cannot be in work for

more than four hours a day. All students though,

regardless of age, cannot work in industries that DOLE

considers “hazardous.”

Before the Work Immersion proper, schools are

expected to prepare the students by, for example, teaching

them how to create a resume, secure clearance documents,

conduct orientations, etc. The Work Immersion itself

though would require a narrative of the workplace (which

38
Wesleyan University – Philippines
Maria Aurora, 3202 Aurora
Senior High School
____________________________________________________________________________

could include charts, photos, or illustrations), written

report of activities, supervisor’s rating, and more.

Work Immersion

By the end of the students’ Work Immersion, they

should be able to use the skills they have learned in

school and apply them to real-life situations in an actual

workplace. The impact of the Work Immersion would of

course vary per school, and per student. For some, it

would most likely feel like a huge step forward, a glimpse

into their future. For others, it could be a sign towards

a different direction.

A case of an actual Work Immersion, the

Philippine Daily Inquirer had welcomed the senior high

school students of St. Theresa’s College, Quezon City,

last Jan. 29 to Feb. 23 for their Junior Intern Program,

or Onthe-Job Work Immersion (OJI).

The 16 students have varying aspirations, from

journalists to lawyers to psychologists and doctors. All

of the fields the students aspire were present, giving

students a chance to truly be engrossed in the workplace.

To be able to provide the students a more focused learning

experience, they were divided into two batches. Batch 1

39
Wesleyan University – Philippines
Maria Aurora, 3202 Aurora
Senior High School
____________________________________________________________________________

interned from Jan. 29 to Feb. 9 while Batch 2 had their

Work Immersion from Feb. 12 to 23. All of the students

were assigned to the department that is most closely

aligned to their supposed career, namely the Research

Department, Marketing Department, Corporate Affairs, Human

Resources, Central Desk, Finance, and PDI’s own clinic.All

of the students were showed the ropes of their respective

departments, as well as PDI as a whole. Students assigned

to the Research Department, for example, had been given

the chance to assist in writing necessary background

information and researching fast facts. Most of the

students were also allowed to sit in during meetings,

observing department heads, editors, and more. Last Feb.

12 and 13, the students had served as volunteers for the

Democracy and Disinformation Conference in Ateneo de

Manila, Rockwell Campus, assisting speakers and guests

alike.This not only allowed them to do their Work

Immersion, but to learn from the leading experts the

impact of disinformation on our country. Last March 6, as

a culmination of their Work Immersion, a small ceremony

was held at the PDI office. Selected students shared their

personal experiences and the knowledge that they gained.

Personnel from PDI had also given their messages, bidding

the students a farewell while urging them to pursue their

passions.

It only showed the factors that affect in students when

they are taking immersion on a certain place. And also it

showed the conflict of being fresh employee in the certain

department. And it showed the particular situation of

every student having immersion. And it showed the

particular factor that affect the student is Some of the

work in the field of humanities are intended only for

women.According to Gemmar Anthony Guimba (2018) Work

immersion teachers and coordinators should develop a program

focusing on the development of self-efficacy of the learners

before their deployment to different industry partners. This

program would help learners to trust their own ability and

53

develop their self-confidence. Thus, learners would be

encouraged and satisfied to be active and motivated to finish

work immersion program. The satisfaction that the learners’

experienced, the knowledge, skills and attitude they acquired

from the actual work environments would inspire them to pursue

higher education, others would engaged in entrepreneurship and

some would find an employment.

perception where skills such as these are not already

maximized among overconfident students and that

improvement is not only possible but also needed. The

opportunity to meet with students day-to-day, in

experience, seems to create a better opportunity for

students to become open to behavioral skills learning.

Immersion creates not only a strong situation but also a

sustained, intensive alternate reality where implicit

theories and overconfidence can be directly and

consistently challenged and overcome, thus generating

emotional activation and momentum and receptiveness to the

cognitive and behavioral components of executive skill

education. We hope that this perspective adds to the

repertoire of ABSEL scholars and to practitioners of

experiential learning and business simulation.

have learned in school. Learning through immersion

includes mistakes,we commit during immersion help us build

new learnings. Immersion help us realize self development

in new life. Not just by grades but by insight, which can

help us from action plans for the future.

Summary and Findings

The results show that:

1. Most of the respondents were female, while the rest

is male.

2. The students that were mostly at age 19 – 20 years of

age.

3. Most of the students have critically express their

ability to improve and knowledge about having work

immersion.

4. Most of the student wants to expand their ability and

discover more in terms of office work.

5. Among the problem that students encountered, some of

the work in the field of humanities are intended for women

most affect the work immersion of Grade 12 (HUMMS) as it

61
Wesleyan University – Philippines

ranked 1. Then, LGBT students are not welcome to the work

place also affects the work immersion as it ranked 2.

Also, the ability to demonstrate the knowledge and skills

needed in by the student and conduct a return

demonstration to evaluate the effectiveness of students

understanding and comprehension also affects the work

immersion of Grade 12 as it ranked 3.

6. Students need to acquire to learn about the

environment of being employee.

Conclusion

The following were drawn based on the findings of this

study:

1. Most of the respondents was grade 12 students,

encountered about factors that affect the work

immersion of the students and capability to

comprehends what are the way to be the trainee

student.

2. To be the best trainee student should be responsible

at all times.

3. Students of grade 12 Humanities and Social Science

are still encountered and experience unwell being

trainee at the certain work place.

4. To be a good trainee they must be respect one another

for better work place and to build friendship.

Recommendation

Based from the findings and conclusions of the study,

the following are recommended:

1. Provide an adequate guidelines to train the trainee

student who having work immersion.

2. Implement proper rules and regulation for those

students that need proper orientation before taking

work immersion.

3. Before entering in the work place student must be

orient to handle the big situation and the pressure

and exposure will not lead to them to quit in the

work place.
