21st Century Skills of Students in a Technical Vocational Education and Training Institution in the Philippines. Objectives: This study aims to assess the 21st Century Skills of Students in a Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Institution in the Philippines. Methods: The descriptive method was used to describe the characteristics and the competency level of 21st century skills of sixty-eight TVET students enrolled in the first semester school year 2019-2020 at Camarines Sur Insitute of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Philippines. A comparative method was used to analyze the similarities and differences of skills. The percentage, ranking, average weighted mean, and one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis in determining the interpretation based on the 4-point Likert’s rating scale used. Findings: The study reveals that the overall level of competency of 21st century skills of TVET Students is 3.081 interpreted as moderately competent which implies that the students can apply their skills in simple situations.
