The 1st Dedicated Business School
Business Education supported by the business community, since 1989
The Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business began as the Institute of Business, University of the West Indies (UWI-IOB). The institution was founded on December 14th, 1989 as a joint venture between the University of the West Indies (UWI) and the Trinidad and Tobago private sector. Its purpose was to deliver postgraduate business and management education designed to meet the emergent needs of the business community. It was intended to fill the strategic gap that existed in The University of the West Indies’ business education offerings.
Our Beginnings
A Conversation with former President, The Late George Maxwell Richards
I thought it was an obvious thing to do, quite frankly. Because of the environment and because of the dearth of training in these areas, I thought there was a gap. And that gap had to be filled. So we went along with the ideas and I think they proved to be reasonably successful.
New Bachelor of Business
Building Business Leaders from the Bachelor’s level
For the secondary school student who nished
CSEC and wants to start a bachelor’s degree, it has
never before been an option to have in hand a Bachelor of Business from the only
ACTT-accredited business school in the nation.
Investing in equipping business leaders
The business and philanthropy icon, after whom the school is named, shared some insight into his life and ambitions.
“I am one of those who did not have tertiary education; I would have wanted persons to assist me in my time. Although it can be argued that hard work and persistence can create the desirable business success, it is always good to have that knowledge and background at an early age.”

Thee School
Address by Joseph P. Esau
At the Launch of the Institute of Business
I address you today wearing two hats. The first is that of the Chairman of the Finance committee of the Institute of Business. In that role, I really don’t wear that hat but rather carry it in my hand, arm extended. In that role, my colleagues and I shall be asking for your help, your tangible commitment that goes beyond good wishes, in getting the Institute started.
The Future of the UWI Lok Jack GSB
The strategic intent is to establish the school as the leading centre for entrepreneurship, leadership and innovation in management thinking in the Caribbean.”
