Society always needs psychosocially competent individuals who can function effectively in any life situation, manage their lives, get along with others, and contribute meaningfully to society. But it can be argued that the idea of performing well in the 21st century is way too different than what it was in the 20th century or earlier. Adapting to a world characterized by globalization, mutual interdependency among nations, fast-changing technology, culturally diverse global workplaces, and changing market - place demand for the acquisition of competencies that empower today's individuals. So, there is a need to think of essential competencies and skills that 21st century learners need to cultivate to deal with the challenges posed by uncertainties and complexities of present society. In this paper, the researchers have attempted to explore the concept of psychosocial competence. In this regard, relevant international frameworks on skills and competencies were reviewed and findings were discussed.
