The purpose of this paper is to perform the needs analysis of adult competencies for career interrupted women and to provide information on priority group competencies of them. The subjects of this study were 241 women in 17 cities and provinces across the country, and sampling was conducted using a stratified random sampling method. For the research method, the t-test, Borich needs assessment, and The Locus for Focus model suggested by Cho (2009) were systemically employed to identify the priorities. As a result of the analysis, there were 10 competencies belonging to both the Borich needs assessment and The Locus for Focus model, and two competencies among them, financial management competency and digital utilization competency, were derived as the highest priority competencies. Next, competencies corresponding to only one of the two techniques were selected as second priority competencies. Based on the results of this study, implications for development of customized lifelong education programs for career interrupted women were suggested.
