Since acquiring the New Standard Works building in the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham in 2013, after a period of 20 years of vacancy, RMLT has undertaken the building’s refurbishment to deliver Practical Skills Therapeutic Education to young people aged 16 – 25 years. In addition, the newly-established Argent College has become an integral part of the local community offering work experience, social and cultural programmes.
