The purpose of this study is to determine what competencies are needed for workers in the Fourth Industrial Revolution era. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, literature review was carried out on the research on the Fourth Industrial Revolution and workers' competence published after the WEF(2016), and the ‘skill/ability family’ proposed by WEF (2016) was used as a framework for analyzing competencies. As a result, 'creativity' and 'social skills' were found to be the most necessary skills for workers in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, it is necessary to actively discuss ways to improve 'creativity' and 'social skills' in the field of Vocational Education. It is also necessary to review and discuss whether qualifications in each country currently have a qualification system to verify these competencies.
