Detroit at Work Career Center — Payne-Pulliam

Detroit at Work brings career guidance and training together at several locations across the city; the Payne-Pulliam centre serves the East Warren corridor. The network lets residents speak with a career adviser, attend workshops and explore training opportunities, while staff can connect job seekers with support when transport, education or another barrier complicates the search. The city directory also lists this location among those offering unemployment insurance assistance.

The official directory gives the address as 18017 E. Warren Avenue, with weekday service from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and extended hours until 7 p.m. on Thursdays; it recommends calling (313) 962-9675 to arrange an appointment. The map listing for this location has a high rating, and the visible comments point to specific strengths: customers thank staff for listening, career coaches for their support, and the centre for résumé and job-search help. That is encouraging feedback about guidance, not a measure of how many people find work or a promise of an outcome.

The agency’s own response route is also visible: its locations page explicitly invites customers to report a poor service experience and links to a form asking where and when the incident happened and what took place. The form requests contact details and date of birth, so open it from the official site and check what information it asks for before submitting. Michigan also has a statewide Employment Service complaint system for certain job-search services and referrals; the right route depends on the issue, and the centre can help identify the form or responsible contact.

If your concern involves unemployment benefits, a course or an employer referral, first identify which programme was involved: career centres provide guidance, but they do not all make benefits decisions or administer every training course. Keep appointment confirmations, dates and staff names. Detroit at Work does not charge for its public career guidance; if a course or outside provider asks for payment, request the provider’s name, eligibility rules and a written explanation of what the fee covers.
