Westmoreland Business College

Someone had a vision which became a relaity on September 9th, 1994. Western Business College, now Westmoreland Business College located in Savanna-La-Mar, Westmoreland after a name change suggested by the Ministry of Education, was officially opened and commenced operations on the current premises at 6 Barclay Street.

Over the years our academic & practical areas have been expanded with the addition of new courses and CXC subjects.

In 2018 – 2021, the institution entered a contractual agreement with the Ministry of Labour & Social Security for the training & grooming of young women & men between the ages of 18 – 25 who were considered high school dropouts or fulfileld their tenure at their previous high schools.

During this period they were given the opportunity to exercise their true academic potential that they were unable to do due to lack of stability and financial aid. They were given five (5) CXC subjects. Mathematics and English Language being mandatory along with an NCTVET level II skill.

This program yielded fruit and today many of the students who were beneficiaries are now employed in various sectors such as the army and police force whereas others would have gone on to university to also become productive members of society.

Our partnership with NCTVET continues to be a success as over the years students have performed at the highest level with the aid of a dedicated and competent staff who show no limit in their tireless efforts to bring out the best of even those who would be considered slow.
