Summary/Abstract: In the research, it was aimed to improve the awareness of vocational school students about the concepts related to Industry 4.0 and/or Society 5.0. In the fall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year, activities lasting 7 weeks were held with students who were studying at the vocational school and had not yet taken the "Vocational Training in Workplace" course. The activities included learning activities to develop 21st-century skills to prepare students for Society 5.0 before entering the workplace. The study was based on the single-group pretest-posttest model, one of the quantitative research methods. The participants of the research consisted of 125 students studying at a vocational school. An awareness questionnaire prepared by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. As a result of the research, it was found that the awareness of the students increased statistically significantly. In addition, there was no significant difference according to grade level.
