Instructure has announced the general availability of Canvas Career, an AI-powered, skills-first learning experience built specifically for adult learners and workforce-aligned training. As part of the Canvas ecosystem, Canvas Career enables organizations to design outcomes-focused pathways that map directly to in-demand skills, automate manual processes with AI, and deliver measurable results in skill development and employability.

The launch responds to persistent challenges in workforce development, where high interest in upskilling collides with uncertainty about skill relevance and future adaptability. Many learners and organizations struggle with fragmented systems that fail to translate training into tangible career value.
Canvas Career addresses this by prioritizing skills over seat time, enabling organizations to build structured pathways that align learning directly with employer-valued competencies. AI capabilities automate curation, personalization, and progress tracking, freeing teams to focus on strategic outcomes rather than manual administration.
"People want to learn and grow, but many organizations struggle to turn that effort into real value," said Shiren Vijiasingam, chief product officer at Instructure. "Built AI-natively, Canvas Career helps organizations curate and deliver individualized learning journeys mapped directly to skills, while making progress portable, measurable and designed to scale as workforce needs continue to evolve."
Early implementation at Intelvio demonstrates practical impact. The online healthcare training provider uses Canvas Career to make skill development transparent and directly tied to employability. Learners gain clear visibility into how acquired competencies translate to workplace roles, while the organization scales programs more efficiently.
"Our goal has always been to connect education to employability," said Shauna Vorkink, chief learning officer at Intelvio. "Canvas Career helps learners see the real-world skills they're gaining and how those skills translate to the workforce."
After transitioning from standard Canvas, Intelvio is expanding Canvas Career across larger initiatives and integrating AI tools to streamline course development and strengthen alignment with industry demands.
Canvas Career extends Instructure's ecosystem to better serve adult learners and workforce training, complementing its established presence in K-12 and higher education. By embedding AI-driven intelligence and skills-focused design, the platform supports scalable, future-ready learning that bridges education and career success.
