Why Knowing Your State NDE Office Matters
The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) operates through state branches. Many recruitment, training, and empowerment announcements are distributed locally at state or zonal levels. Having the address and contact of your state NDE office helps you:
- Confirm if registration is active in your state
- Submit physical documents or visit for guidance
- Report fake agents or irregularities
- Receive updates directly when state coordinators publish announcements
Always cross-check information from the official NDE website or verified government sources before visiting any state office. The national NDE “Contact Us” page provides placeholders for state coordinators’ contacts. 0
