Abstract: This study examines industry partners’ perceptions of TVL-EIM students’ professionalism, punctuality, and adaptability during work immersion facilitated by Saint Theresa College of Tandag, Inc., Tandag City, Surigao del Sur, within the Philippine K-12 curriculum’s technical-vocational framework. This research employed a qualitative case study methodology. As part of this approach, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with thirteen partners from local companies supervising students in electrical installation and maintenance tasks. Findings reveal significant challenges, including inconsistent punctuality, limited technical proficiency, and time management difficulties, often linked to logistical barriers and inadequate pre-immersion training. Nevertheless, students demonstrated strengths in professionalism, adaptability, and teamwork, marked by respectful behavior, swift task responses, and effective collaboration. The study highlights the need for enhanced work immersion programs, recommending that curriculum developers integrate time management and technical training. At the same time, industry partners implement mentorship and logistical support to address gaps and leverage strengths, ultimately preparing students for industry roles more effectively.
