Building in-demand skills for the modern world of work
Established in 2001, You Can Now is a training and development partner to growth-oriented organisations of all shapes and sizes.
We provide teams with modern, motivating approaches to building relevant new skills — working with our partners both directly and cross-organisationally. Everything we design and deliver is developed with brilliant subject experts, grounded in behavioural smarts and enlivened by the experiences of the learners we engage every day.
We’re a community of learning designers, subject experts, facilitators, content creators and digital maestros. Our partners are growing organisations, just like yours. Together we’re on a modern mission to make development opportunities as relevant, accessible and actionable as possible.
Head and shoulders above any other training partner in terms of relevance and originality.
Different industries, a common belief. Whether fast-growth tech companies like Epic Games and Dice, sensational retailers like Lush and Cubitts, amazing charities like the NSPCC and Shelter or creative studios like Koto and Wolff Olins — our partners are thriving across an ever expanding circle of sectors. And they're united in the belief that growing people grows businesses.
Purpose led
Ever since we set sail in 2001, we've been on a mission to enable others through continual learning. What began as early work within universities, colleges and business schools has grown into a thriving community of leading organisations globally — committed to continually unlocking the potential of their most valuable asset (that's you!)
Values driven
The key principles of being Personal, Action-oriented and Timely sit at the heart of everything that we design, deliver and decide upon daily. From knowing names, to showing autonomy in choices; being quick to respond, to visually reflecting the world around us — making these principles feel real as behaviours in our interactions with you is an ongoing goal.
Science backed
Definitive studies into the science behind why we do what we do (Ryan and Deci, Self-Determination and Intrinsic Motivation in Human Behaviour) reveal innate needs that we all carry with us — Autonomy (feeling like we have choice), Relatedness (feeling like we're connected to others) and Competency (feeling like we're continually improving). We call these three built in brain-cravings The ARC of Engagement, and they purposefully guide the design and delivery of all our development doings.
Our team and community
A close knit-central group continually supporting the growth of our community.
An international community of inclusive facilitators and coaches, enabling teams everywhere.
Subject matter specialists, like Diversity Partnership founder Abi Adamson, keeping all we cover rooted in evidence and expertise.
Social purpose
Our commercial ambition is matched with a social one, and we provide bro-bono training and development support to a number of charity and not-for-profit groups each year. Most recently, in partnership with London Community Foundation, we designed and delivered a three year programme of capacity building for over 70 front-line community organisations, all variously tackling youth violence initiatives in the capital — brilliant organisations like the Ben Kinsella Trust, LivesNotKnives and Fat Macy's (pictured).
