AFEST at Orange: Inside the Learn@Work Project

At the Learning Technologies event in Paris, we had the chance to hear from Ahmed Kabeche, Director of Orange's Technical Skills School, about the Learn@Work project. This innovative project, run in partnership with Daylindo, is part of a wider shift in how the company approaches training.

Here's what he told us:

"The Learn@Work project has delivered remarkable results, multiplying the number of AFEST (workplace-based training actions) carried out every day. We're seeing 3 major benefits. First, AFEST has scaled up across our organisation, making this training format simpler and more diverse for our entire ecosystem. Second, AFEST now adapts to a wide range of needs: process updates, supporting small teams, certifying pathways, onboarding, and knowledge transmission. Finally, this approach has strengthened the effectiveness of training, giving value to on-the-ground mentors and contributing to our evolution into a learning organisation. Thanks to our partnership with Daylindo, we've been able to maximise these impacts and turn AFEST into a strategic tool for developing our teams."

What this testimonial shows

Orange's experience matches a pattern we see in other organisations Daylindo works with: once AFEST is properly tooled and rolled out at scale, it stops being a one-off scheme and becomes an everyday training lever, applicable just as much to onboarding as to critical know-how or process updates. This is precisely what the Daylindo platform is designed to support: making it simpler to scale up AFEST on the ground, while keeping a record of every pathway that holds up as evidence.

Similar evidence from other organisations engaged in building a skills-based learning organisation confirms this same point: giving value to on-the-ground mentors matters just as much as the volume of AFEST carried out.
