This term appears multiple times, both as a unit "intégration en binôme" and separately "formation & integration chef de poste" and "formation interne avec binome."
The document is an excel spreadsheet which describes the responsibilities and skills needed by the "chef de poste." The setting is a factory and therefore much of the training referenced involves safety regulations, chemical protective suits, etc.

Job shadowing
Job shadowing is actually one of the most common of all training techniques for new employees. Essentially, job shadowing involves spending a period of time with a seasoned expert, observing everything that he or she does that is related to the work that is expected to be accomplished as part of the daily routine of the job. Involving one new employee to act as the observer, and one person to function as the demonstrator, this allows the new hire a chance to get a handle of what is involved in performing the tasks associated with the work.
Job shadowing can commence at one of two points in the job training process. One of the most common is to assign the new hire to an established employee on the first day. The new hire may spend one to five days following the routine of the employee, learning general job responsibilities, observing how the tasks are carried out, and getting some insight into methods that allow for efficient handling of the job.

Job shadowing is also a term used for when students accompany a worker for a day to observe the person while he/she is working to find out more about a profession that the student is interested in for the future.
But job shadow training is a term for on the job training involving a newly hired person and an experienced worker.

: This suggests that there are two people already in the company who help the new recruit. In Jenn's text, the term describes 1 experienced person working alongside a new recruit.

mentoring / a mentoring program
Mentoring is, I think, a more formal and long-term arrangement than job shadowing.
I think both terms are in common use, and it depends on the exact nature of the "intégration en binôme" in your situation.

Discussion
Difficult to know without any context whether it's simply working in pairs (my children are often made to work "en binôme" at school) or an experienced person helping another. I assumed that latter because it was all about training, but I always find that the best solution in case of doubt or ambiguity is to ask the customer.
