Abstract

Abstract: Kenya now has a growing number of private universities offering various degrees, including education. This suggests a large outflow of graduates into the highly competitive job market. In response, private universities have adopted the soft skills demanded by employers to give graduates an edge over other universities. Soft skills clearly increase employability in the labor market. The present study was conducted in four targeted Western private sponsored universities offering education program. Target population was education students and lectures. Concurrent mixed-methods research design was employed. Based on the findings and reviewed literature, a model of soft skills development was proposed for use. The study recommends that lecturers in Schools of education should use the model developed to develop soft skills among learners during teaching and learning process.
