Advanced Learning Partners

Hi, I’m Dr. Juliann Young. I Help Organizations Build Smarter Ways to Learn.

Think of me as your guide to the future of learning. I create innovative training, learning, and development programs that make learning more effective, engaging, and accessible for everyone. By thoughtfully combining artificial intelligence with proven learning methods, I help organizations:

  • Make learning programs that actually work and show real results
  • Use emerging technology to reach more people without losing the human touch
  • Turn complex information into clear, engaging learning experiences
  • Build training programs that grow and adapt with your organization

What I Do:

  • Design learning programs that people actually want to complete
  • Create training that fits how people learn today
  • Build programs that measure what matters
  • Help organizations prepare their teams for the future

She is relentlessly client/student and solution focused. If you give her a challenging problem she will work tirelessly to find a way to solve it. She is also mission-driven, sincere and kind, which makes her a pleasure to work with on just about any initiative.

Wonderful Colleague

Juliann is a wonderful colleague and is kind, motivated, and down-to-earth.

I enjoy bouncing ideas off of her and being on the same team!
