This paper aims to determine the difficulties encountered by the students in their work immersion
concerning family support, supervisory support, work habit, and competence. The research was
conducted during the academic year 2018-2019 in Vicente Madrigal National High School.
Descriptive research is employed since its purpose is to determine the difficulties encountered by the
students in their work immersion. The study employed the learning theory of Thorndike on the Law of
Exercise and Law of Effects. There are 50 respondents further, questionnaire checklist is the
instrument used while data were treated using percentage, rank, weighted mean, and two-way
ANOVA. The study revealed that the difficulties encountered by work immersion students with work
immersion supervisors have no relationship with their sex, while work habit and competence were
significant. In terms of monthly family income, there was no significant difference in the different
aspects. The study concluded that the majority of the respondents were male and belonged to 9,000-
below family income. Work immersion students received financial and emotional support from the
family; work immersion supervisors guided the students in accomplishing tasks. However, visitation
on the venue is limited and tasks given were not all strand related. The value of volunteerism is not
very evident from the respondents as well as the knowledge on basic troubleshooting of hardware
and software, monthly family income and sex were not a determining factor of difficulties.
