Abstract: It is observed that graduates from universities in Cameroonhave inadequate competence in major areas such as; system thinking, problem-solving, and critical thinking, making graduates be less skilled in long-life learning, such as learning to know, be, do, and living- together. Hence, graduates’ competencies are contextually inefficient and observed to be inadequate for the local and global market, a reason for the massive unemployment of graduates. The purpose of thisstudywas to examine the relationship between competence in education for sustainable development and graduates’ employability. The study made use of a principal research question stated as; what competence in education for sustainable development can enhance graduates’ employability? A descriptive approach was used for the study,and a sample of 126 graduates were obtained by purposive sampling technique. The result obtained from the analysis permits us to conclude that there is a strong and positive relationship between competence in education for sustainable development and the employability of graduates.
