Building Lives by Repairing Cars.
By providing debt free training for people seeking employment in the automotive field.
Our mission is creating tomorrow’s automotive leaders. We have created a holistic program and environment that promises to impact the automotive industry as well as the communities of which they live.
With the training, we have also committed to helping those in need maintain a safe and reliable vehicle
NEW LOCATION AND NEW NAME
On January 1, 2016, we opened our doors in Tualatin and have been blessed to train over many individuals seeking employment in the automotive field and helped many more families who have demonstrated a need for reliable transportation but whose varying financial circumstances prevented them from getting their vehicles up and running.
In 2020, we committed spending 11% of our gross revenue provided in benevolent care and vehicle placements, continuing to increase our provisions to those in need, thanks to many generous donations.
In Spring 2021, we successfully re-located to Oak Grove in Southeast Portland. With this location change, the organization changed its name to Auto-Tek Workforce Development. This name reflects our primary mission of training people seeking employment in the automotive field.
This would be our home for the next 18 months. As we settled into our new location, it became clear that we would need more space to accomplish our mission of training.
In October 2022, we completed our final move to Canby Oregon. Our new 8000 ft² facility allows us to train more interns while also allowing us space to house our donated vehicles used for training.
Our new location is ideally situated to allow interns easier daily access by public transport and is situated close to many automotive service shops for future transition into the industry. The location has been set up to focus on our automotive training on donated vehicles that will be repaired and certified for re-sale and support our mission to provide benevolent car service through our partners.
