Abstract - The effectiveness of teacher training programs significantly impacts the quality of education. This study explores how Multiple Intelligences (MI), Self-Efficacy (SE), and Psychosocial Skills (PS) contribute to Teaching Competency among B.Ed. trainees. Using a quantitative research approach, data was collected from 1000 B.Ed. trainees across 12 institutions. The findings indicate a strong positive correlation between MI, SE, and PS with teaching competency. Multiple Regression Analysis further revealed that these factors predict 68% of the variance in teaching competency. The study highlights the need for holistic teacher training programs that integrate psychological and cognitive skill-building for educators. Recommendations include curriculum modifications, policy changes, and future research directions to improve teacher effectiveness.
