CareerSource South Florida — Perrine Center

In southern Miami-Dade, CareerSource’s Perrine site brings employment services closer to residents who live far from central Miami. It is at 18901 SW 106th Avenue, in the Cutler Bay area, and belongs to the same CareerSource network as West Dade. CareerSource lists Youth Co-op, Inc. as the operator and manager of Perrine. Its role is to guide candidates, help them search for vacancies and explain training options; it is not an employer and cannot guarantee that a company will hire someone who registers.

Public comments describe different experiences. Some people appreciate one-to-one guidance, help understanding programs and access to resources; others mention waiting, difficulty getting through or confusion during a first visit inside the building. Some visitors say Spanish is spoken, but call to confirm that assistance is available in your language. Online ratings can help you prepare questions, but they do not replace checking a program or prove that a negative review establishes fraud.

CareerSource lists (305) 252-4440 and general hours of Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with closures on public holidays. If you live in Kendall, compare this site with West Dade before traveling; the more convenient choice depends on your address and the service you need. Ask what documents to bring, whether you need an appointment and whether a particular training course has its own requirements. If you believe the center did not provide a published service, CareerSource says to raise it first with an adviser, supervisor and center director, then request review from its Customer Service Unit; formal complaint procedures are also available in Spanish. This offers a documented route to accountability without treating a review as a verdict. Do not pay upfront to anyone who guarantees a vacancy, and do not send bank or Social Security numbers through a form until you have verified the employer and website.
