This study uses a survey research design with a total involvement of 340 respondents from vocational education teachers. The questionnaire method was used to measure all competencies in the era of society 5.0 with a 4-Likert scale questionnaire instrument. Data were analyzed descriptively based on the average and percentage of each competency, and also analyzed using the independent sample t-test and post hoc Dunnett test. The results of the study revealed that all competencies in the era of society 5.0 in teachers were high and did not differ significantly in the coverage of all characteristics of the respondents.
