The study used the descriptive and utilized a set of descriptive-survey questionnaire as data collection tool. Data gathered were properly recorded, tallied, tabulated, interpreted and analyzed using frequency counts and percentage and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Most of the TVL students under the Home Economics strand were aged 18-19 and male students were more in number than the female students. Majority of the TVL students had their work immersion in private establishments. The overall weighted mean of the work immersion performance of the Grade 12 TVL students was 4.02, corresponding to a verbal description of “Very Satisfactory” performance.
