Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to review TVET teachers’ employability and transferable skills,
Occupational Standards and Curriculum to integrate principles of Social Cohesion and Peaceful
coexistence in TVET institutions. This was in the context of the realization that social cohesion
is an integral component of a stable TVET institution. The objective that guided the study was
to tease out aspects of social cohesion and integrate them into the employability module to be
used in TVET institutions in Kenya. The study adopted a participatory approach that engaged
Kenya Technical trainers who were involved in the whole process in a bid to enhance their
capacity in the curriculum development process. The target population was the KTTC trainers
who taught the employability module. This study established that inclusion of social cohesion
aspects into the curriculum had potential to produce a stable workforce that will bring about
positive change into the society.The study also found that digitization of the employability
curriculum assisted the Kenya School of TVET to deliver the course online thus attaining
flexibility in the trainees learning.This study recommends that Kenya School of TVET retools
all Technical and Vocational trainers in Kenya with a view to sensitize them on critical aspects
of social cohesion among them inclusion which has the potential to transform the mindset of
the trainers when dealing with trainees in their respective institutions.
