Abstract: Society 5.0 impacts many sectors, including education. Education must be prepared to adapt to these changes, especially in how it shapes the teaching competencies of trainee teachers. This study aims to assess the readiness of trainee teachers to meet the challenges posed by Society 5.0 and to identify the competencies needed for the future. Using a descriptive quantitative approach with a survey method, this study sampled 115 English trainee teachers from the University of Muhammadiyah Tangerang. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study focuses on five competencies: communication, leadership, curiosity, reading comprehension, and managerial skills. The findings indicate that while trainee teachers are well-prepared in managerial, curiosity, and reading comprehension skills, there is a need to enhance their communication and leadership abilities. To be fully prepared for Society 5.0, additional competencies such as adaptability, critical thinking, digital literacy, and problem-solving skills must be considered. Incorporating real-world scenarios, feedback, and collaboration into the assessment process will ensure that trainee teachers can effectively navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing society.
