About WorkSource Portland Metro — Southeast Center

In southeast Portland, WorkSource shares a Foster Road address with the region’s public employment-services network. Its Southeast Center is listed at 6401 SE Foster Road and belongs to a system that the regional agency says is publicly funded and provides resources at no cost. The centre is not there to promise a hire; its role is to help organise a job search through career guidance, résumé support, interview practice, job referrals and access to training or scholarship options. The directory gives the location and a dedicated phone number, but it does not publish opening hours for this site.

Public comments reproduced by a directory from Google are few and several years old: one person appreciated staff resolving an issue despite noticing limited staffing; another praised the reception team. There is also a complaint about recovering unemployment payments, a different state function from receiving job-search advice. That distinction matters: a review may describe a real experience, but it is not an audit and does not by itself show that the centre failed to meet an obligation. We could not verify a current Google rating for this exact address, so we have not copied a secondary figure that may be out of date into the profile.

The centre is at 6401 SE Foster Road, Portland, Oregon 97206, and the regional directory lists 503-934-0630. Call before travelling to confirm hours, appointments, language assistance and which services are available. If a question goes unanswered, Oregon says you can ask for the centre’s complaint specialist or contact the state coordinator for employment-services complaints; discrimination has a formal process with a Spanish-language form. At your appointment, ask which programmes have places, who will follow up and whether training has eligibility requirements. Public assistance does not guarantee a job offer. Oregon also warns that an offer asking for an advance “processing fee” may be a scam: verify the company through its own website and never pay to access an interview or job.
