Two London social agencies are combining forces with the goal of improving skills training opportunities.
And they're hoping others will want to take part.
Goodwill Industries has come together with Pivotal Services, which helps train workers through a packaging operation.
"We now outsource many of our staff to a variety of our customers and in return those customers are beginning to hire our employees. So, it's a natural graduation out," says Katherine Charles, Pivotal's executive director.
Goodwill has a long history of success re-selling items that have been brought to them. They recycle and re-purpose items that aren't in use.
For somebody looking to make a profit it may not make the best business case, but it fits perfectly for an agency looking to train those struggling to find work.
"We can train in areas like health and safety, lean process, material handling, I could go on. We need to welcome other types of work platforms into this facility," says Michelle Quintyn, Goodwill president.
The facility will expand Goodwill's own workforce by 38 people to more than 430 individuals and officials say there is more to come.
