Abstract: The seriousness and gravity of the issue of graduate employment in Nigeria informed this study which was to appraise the impact of the activities of the National Directorate of Employment on graduate employment and job creation in Kaduna State. The study was aimed at determining the various programmes of the directorate and assessing the level of its success with respect to graduate employment creation in Kaduna State. Secondary data were collected as well as oral interview of personnel in the course of the study. It was found that the impact of the NDE on graduate employment in Kaduna State has not been particularly positive and much still needs to be done. Only modest achievement in the area of generation of graduate employment has so far been recorded. A thorough re-appraisal of its programme in order to overhaul the system is desirable.
