AFIPH Emploi Compétences

What AFIPH Emploi Compétences does

AFIPH Emploi Compétences is a French non-profit training and employment support organization operating as a specialized division of the Afiph Association (founded 1964). Headquartered in Grenoble at 20 rue Leconte de Lisle, the organization delivers individualized career support and continuing training programs targeting persons with disabilities, ESAT workers (Établissements et Services d'Aide par le Travail), adapted enterprise employees, and medical-social sector professionals. Its primary customer segments include people with intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders seeking sustainable employment, alongside companies and collectivities seeking disability awareness training and workplace accommodation support.

The organization's core product offering comprises five integrated service lines: (1) continuing education modules for people with disabilities covering professional life skills, hygiene, safety, and self-determination; (2) medico-social professional training on accompaniment methods and specialized approaches (TEACCH, ABA, CAA, Snoezelen); (3) cross-sector disability awareness training; (4) employment counseling and the supported 'Emploi Accompagné' device; and (5) the annual DesTalents H+ job fair. It holds Qualiopi certification for training actions and is designated as an 'expert' on the H+ platform. Underlying methodology centers on 'Pouvoir Agir' (self-determination/agency-based) inclusive pedagogy with trainers specifically trained in alternative pedagogies.

The business model combines three revenue streams: professional training services delivered across Isère territory, apprenticeship tax (taxe d'apprentissage) collection channeled through the national SOLTÉA platform from 200+ contributing companies annually, and donations. The GTM motion is hybrid—direct sales to enterprises and public organizations through territorial presence, event-driven engagement via the DesTalents H+ job fair, and community-led partnerships with Cap Emploi, AGEFIPH, APF, and France Travail. Operations are geographically confined to Isère department with 25 employees, limiting absolute scale but enabling deep local market penetration.
