Business hours

The City of Detroit's free job and training service connects residents with job openings, paid training, career coaching and support such as transportation or expungement help through its career centers.

What it is

Detroit at Work is the city's workforce development system, run with the Detroit Employment Solutions Corporation and Michigan Works. It operates several career centers around the city and an online job board.

Why it matters

After an injury, a wrongful firing or a criminal case, getting back to steady work is often the most urgent need. Detroit at Work offers free coaching, training programs and direct connections to employers who are hiring.

What to know first

Start by registering online or calling the WORK line to be matched with a career center near you. Services are free, and many training programs pay a stipend while you learn.

Limits and eligibility

Services are for Detroit residents and job seekers; it is an employment program, not a legal office, and does not handle wage or discrimination complaints.

What to have ready

  • Photo ID and Social Security card
  • Resume or work history
  • Proof of Detroit address
  • Any training certificates
