What The Arthur Lok Jack Global School of Business does

The Arthur Lok Jack Global School of Business is a private Caribbean business school operating within the University of the West Indies system, headquartered at its Mt. Hope campus in Trinidad and Tobago. Founded in 1989 as the Institute of Business through a public-private partnership between UWI and major Trinidad corporates (Republic Bank, Neal & Massy, Ansa Mc Al, Royal Bank, Trinidad Cement), the institution rebranded to its current name in 2018 to reflect an expanded international scope. It holds AMBA programmatic accreditation (since 2003, placing it in the top 2% of business schools globally), ACTT institutional accreditation through 2027, and ILM recognition (since 2022) for its MBA and MHRM programmes.

The school delivers a portfolio of part-time postgraduate degrees (MBA, MHRM, MMM, MFM, MSMEM), an undergraduate Bachelor of International Business with a Florida International University dual-degree option, and stackable credentials (Graduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma in Organizational Administration) delivered via a blended virtual and face-to-face platform. Complementary revenue lines include Executive Education short courses and professional certificates, an In-Company Customised Training unit serving clients such as Agostini, Perenco, CDEMA and ANSA Merchant Bank, a slate of annual thematic conferences (AI in Action, Women in Leadership, NEXT GEN CX, ESG, DLIC), and a Development Consulting practice funded by multilateral partners including the IDB, EU, UNICEF, Caribbean Development Bank, UNFPA, and Citibank Foundation.

The institution monetises through quote-based tuition with multi-year payment plans, per-event conference pricing (TT$2,720-TT$4,420 / US$150-US$650), bespoke corporate training contracts, and project-based consulting. It markets through its website, LinkedIn and Facebook presence, conferences, and professional association partnerships, and serves a base of 3,000+ alumni across Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Jamaica. Core pedagogy emphasises Capstone consulting projects, case-method learning, and peer collaboration across cohorts.
