This paper therefore, will discuss the desired twenty-first-century competencies that are needed in the workforce for Industry 5.0, two research questions guided the study to identify these twenty-first-century competencies, and how these competencies can be cultivated and inculcated in the education curriculum and policies of emerging economies and the potential of the adaptation of Industry 5.0 on these emerging economies. the study concluded that emerging economies must possess the ability to create policies that will advance social stability, resource preservation, and climate objectives, which will enable more productive production processes with lower waste and energy usage.
