Scotiabank Vision Achiever Program Celebrates 15 Years, Invites 25 Jamaican Entrepreneurs

Kingston, Jamaica – March 24, 2026 – Got a small business in Jamaica that’s just itching to break through to the next level?

Well, you might want to listen up, because Scotiabank is celebrating 15 years of its Vision Achiever Programme and is inviting just 25 small business owners to be part of the next chapter.

We’re talking about a fully funded, 12-week coaching experience designed to push entrepreneurs into serious growth. But with only 25 spots, getting in will be tougher than finding a tax break, won’t it?

So, what’s on the table for these chosen few? Besides that intensive, fully funded coaching – which, let’s be honest, can be invaluable for any scaling business – the top three performers will walk away with over J$3 million in prizes.

That’s a hefty sum that could truly catalyze a small enterprise. Need proof? Dr. Patrice Irvine, CEO of PT by PT Clinic, credits the program with an “81% growth in clientele” after her completion.

Scotiabank is a major financial institution with a long-standing presence in Jamaica and across the Americas, clearly sees this as a crucial investment in the island’s economic backbone.

The Vision Achiever Programme represents a significant commitment from Scotiabank to the entrepreneurial spirit that drives so much of Jamaica’s economy.

While supporting small businesses is a common refrain from corporations, offering a program this intensive and fully funded for 15 years straight is quite the testament to its perceived impact.

It’s an opportunity for small business owners to gain expert guidance, refine their strategies, and hopefully, replicate the kind of success seen by Dr. Irvine.

But with applications closing on March 31, 2026, time is of the essence.

If you’re a Jamaican entrepreneur eyeing that next leap, you’ll need to move fast. Will this program empower the next generation of local success stories, or simply reinforce the strength of those already on the cusp?
