Program combines hands-on automotive training with AI-assisted tools to support workforce reentry in Milwaukee.
Earlier this year, a participant in Goodwill’s Training, Work, and Experience (TWE) program began a temporary work assignment at Select Auto Parts. Through on-the-job learning, the trainee gained experience in inventory organization, parts identification, and the use of digital tools that support modern auto recycling operations.
Select Auto Parts CEO Natasha Broxton said the company’s goal is to make training accessible by using technology that is familiar to most job seekers. “If someone knows how to use a phone, we can teach them how to navigate inventory systems and identify automotive parts,” Broxton said. “This approach helps trainees build confidence while learning practical skills.”
Since initiating the partnership, Select Auto Parts has brought on two team members through Goodwill-supported programs. Based on early outcomes, the company plans to broaden the initiative in 2026 by creating up to three additional workforce development positions focused on training, technology integration, and industry upskilling.
The partnership coincides with America Recycles Day (November 15), which highlights the importance of sustainable practices in industries nationwide. Broxton noted that automotive recycling continues to evolve as facilities adopt new technologies to support efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Select Auto Parts operates Milwaukee’s only indoor auto recycling facility, located in a 125,000-square-foot building on the city’s north side. The company’s workforce development efforts are part of a broader strategy to connect local residents with opportunities in automotive recycling, technology-assisted operations, and green industry careers.
