Empowering people in their work and lives

Legacy Nu

Jan Schouten, founder:

People are stronger in their personal and professional lives when they are courageous and in motion. That is why we emphasize training hard and soft skills for individuals, teams and organizations. We always take a personal approach and set very high standards for the quality of our work.

Our story

11 ORGANISATIONS: EACH ITS SPECIALTY

Within Schouten & Nelissen, 11 different organisations each have their speciality: from coaching programs and soft skills training to in-company blended learning and development programmes. For example, we have all the expertise in-house to keep customers – whether it is individual professionals, teams or entire organisations – strong and moving, making them ready to adapt to any future.

Organisations & Services

PIONEER IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Over 40 years ago, Schouten & Nelissen was founded based on the conviction that work is the most important area for people to continue to develop. And that in addition to factual knowledge, this also requires personal skills, namely hard and soft skills. To reinforce this idea – to make people stronger in their personal and professional lives – we continuously pioneer work in the field of professional development and personal growth. As the world and context of work change, this unique approach to people and organisations remains relevant.


Because of our people-oriented mentality, Schouten & Nelissen grew into a leading international training institute. Every year we help thousands of professionals and organisations in dozens of countries with coaching, training, courses and accredited bachelor's and master’s courses to make themselves and their organisations stronger: to go hard with head and heart.

THE INVOLVEMENT OF A FAMILY BUSINESS

As a family business, we cherish our entrepreneurial character and guarantee a personal and involved approach. At the same time, we as an organisation remain curious and eager to learn. Seize opportunities as they arise and embrace change with enthusiasm. This is also why our services remain optimally in line with the working world, which is constantly increasing in complexity.

Our mission

People are stronger in their personal and professional lives when they are courageous and moving forward. That is why we emphasize training hard and soft skills for individuals, teams and organizations. We always take a personal approach and set very high standards for the quality of our work.

Young SN Activities organiSed for and by young professionals

Schouten & Nelissen’s mission statement is: ‘Strong people make for strong organisations’. We apply the same principle to the young professionals working for us. They are the future, and they will prove invaluable in today’s job market. One of our main goals is to ensure that they feel committed to our organisation and continue to do so. And when you combine that mission statement and the young professionals who work for us, you end up with something new: Young SN.

Young SN was established in 2022 and is led by young professionals affiliated with various Schouten & Nelissen organisations. Its primary focus is on young professionals, but basically, it welcomes anyone who is young at heart.

Our young professionals are completely free to come up with activities of their own, as long as they are related to the following four focus areas:

  • Vitality
  • Connection
  • Personal and other development
  • CSR

In the last year, several activities were organised, ranging from inspiring speakers to a padel competition. There was something to suit every taste! All the activities organised by Young SN are designed to help employees feel connected to each other and to the organisation. 

Are you curious to see what other kinds of activities will be organised?
