Abstract: In the rapidly evolving landscape of the 21st century, the demands placed on individuals within the workforce have undergone profound transformations, Aizenkot & Ben David (2023). As societies become increasingly interconnected and technology continues to advance, according to Frache, Tombras, Nistazakis, & Thompson (2019) the skill sets required for success in the professional arena have expanded beyond traditional academic knowledge. In response to these changes, the concept of 21st-century skills has emerged as a critical framework for assessing and developing competencies essential for thriving in the contemporary world, St. Louis, Thompson, Sulak, Harvill, & Moore (2021). As asserted by Sahin et al. (2019), 21st-century skills involve learning and innovation skills, life and career skills, interdisciplinary themes, and information, media, and technology skills. The study focused on assessing the 21st-century skills of college students in Monkayo, Davao de Oro. The findings showed that students in BEED, BSA, and BSED programs had stronger skills compared to BSBA students. Gender, year level, and academic department were found to significantly influence skill levels. Overall, the students demonstrated a moderate level of proficiency in 21st-century skills, with room for improvement in interdisciplinary themes.
