Archipel Academy was born as the Managed Learning Services business line of Schouten & Nelissen. As learning consultants, the people behind it become very familiar with the challenges in the Learning & Development community and in 2019 their founder and CEO Omar Fouab decided to make learning more personal, more impactful and more accessible.

That is how their Learning Management System with LXP capabilities (Learning tracks and skill management) and the biggest content marketplace in Europe was born. Since then, they kept adding features to keep their customers as well as employees everywhere fit for future: the “search & book” function is AI-driven, learners can access an AI-powered job coach that helps them further develop in their current role or grow towards a different position, engagement is kept high through the use of gamification and more recently they added in-real-time learning through the Archi chatbot.

All of these developments have at their core the company’s strong motivation to keep employees and organizations what they call “fit for future.”

Since becoming their customer, VodafoneZiggo has managed to achieve the following numbers:

• Employees followed an average of 2.3 trainings/ year/ per person, which is 4x more than before
• 31% decrease in voluntary resignation
• In 2022 savings of 1.5 milion euros on learning costs, excluding the 5 administrative FTEs that were repurposed to focus on high-level people strategy
• Becoming an employer of choice- with 1 in 3 people applying at VodafoneZiggo doing so because of the learning culture
• Filling 60% of vacancies from within and adressing knowledge gaps through learning

For these reasons and more, Archipel Academy was named “Best All-in-One Learning Platform” as part of The EdTech Awards 2024 from EdTech Digest. Learn more.
