On Tuesday 8th September 2020 the institution signed an MOU with the Sagicor Cave Hill School of Business Management (SCHSBM) - UWI, aimed at advancing the human capital of St. Vincent & the Grenadines and by extension that of the Caribbean region. The new partnership will allow Vincentians to access a host of flexible online programmes offered by the SCHSBM, including Executive Diplomas, Executive Masters, Masters, Doctorates and short courses. Vincentians will also be able to access via the SVGCC privileged pricing for selected SCHSBM programmes.

On this occasion, it gives me much pleasure to partner with the Sagicor Cave Hill School of Business and Management to provide additional opportunities for Vincentians. As we continue the task of providing training for all nationals, we look forward to a long and productive partnership with The UWI in general and The Sagicor Cave Hill School of Business and Management in particular”.
