Instructure Launches Canvas Career: A Skills-First, AI-Powered Learning Experience Designed to Help Organizations Build Future-Ready Workforces
With 73% of U.S. workers feeling unprepared for changes or disruptions in their careers in the next five years, Canvas Career meets the growing demand for career readiness and scalable, skills-based learning SALT LAKE CITY, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Instructure, the leading learning technology ecosystem and maker of Canvas Learning Management System (LMS), today announced the beta launch of Canvas Career, a new learning experience built to meet the rising demand for workforce-aligned, skills-first education. Designed specifically for adult learners, Canvas Career enables both private and public sector organizations to deliver flexible, scalable programs that help individuals build in-demand skills, advance in their careers and stay competitive in a rapidly changing job market. The Boston Consulting Group reports the average half-life of job skills has dropped to under five years, with some tech sectors experiencing even shorter durations. This makes upskilling and reskilling essential for employees to stay relevant. Companies that neglect investing in talent may find themselves lagging as transformation and mobility accelerate. Additionally, a recent survey conducted by The Harris Poll, commissioned by Instructure, reinforces this urgency: 73% of U.S. workers reported feeling unprepared to adapt to changes or disruptions in their careers over the next five years, and 50% expressed uncertainty about which skills, certifications or credentials employers value. "As part of Instructure's future-ready ecosystem, Canvas Career is an employee-centric LMS that anticipates the learning needs of tomorrow's workforce," said Elizabeth DiRenzo Ezzi, product lead for Canvas Career at Instructure. "As professionals prepare for jobs that don't yet exist and increasingly change careers to explore new paths, we're committed to helping organizations deliver skills-aligned learning at scale, with the flexibility, support and personalization modern learners expect." A modern experience for workforce learningCanvas Career was built specifically for non-credit, continuing education and workforce development programs where speed, relevance and measurable impact are critical. With Canvas Career, organizations are able to: Reach new learner populations, including working adults, career switchers and employer-sponsored learners Build and adapt content quickly with AI-powered tools Launch industry-aligned programs, including short courses and skills-based learning programs, to meet evolving market demands Deliver learning flexibly with self-paced, mobile-first programs Gain real-time visibility into skill development, learner progress and program outcomes Connect training to organizational goals with customer relationship management (CRM) and human resources information system (HRIS) integrations Whether organizations are delivering internal workforce training or training for external customers, Canvas Career provides the structure to track growth, identify skill gaps and demonstrate impact, without adding administrative complexity. One of the early adopters in the Canvas Career beta program is Intelvio, a healthcare career training and placement company that equips learners with the skills and credentials needed to thrive in today's workforce. "We run asynchronous, rolling-enrollment programs where one instructor supports hundreds of learners preparing to enter the workforce," said Shauna Vorkink, chief learning officer at Intelvio. Canvas Career is purpose-built for that model. It gives us the tools to track progress, gain visibility into skills development and use AI to help our learners reach meaningful outcomes." Solving the 'how' of future-ready learningLearning and development leaders today face two critical questions: what to teach, and how to deliver it effectively. While labor market insights increasingly shape the "what," Canvas Career is purpose-built to solve the "how." With built-in AI tools, enterprise integrations, and support for flexible delivery models, it provides organizations with a modern way to deliver skill-aligned learning at scale. Built on the same trusted foundation as Canvas Academic, Canvas Career carries forward Instructure's focus on security, accessibility and learner-centered design, with new features tailored to the needs of modern workforce programs. It's built for public and private sector organizations leading the charge on skills development and career readiness and is part of Instructure's robust ecosystem, including credentialing, video content, and a comprehensive catalog allowing registration of courses to be automated in Canvas Career. Canvas Career is currently in beta and available to select pilot institutions across business, government and continuing education sectors. General availability is expected in January 2026. To learn more about Canvas Career or schedule a demo, visit: Haris Poll MethodologyThis survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Instructure from April 23 - 25, 2025, among 1,210 employed U.S. adults ages 18 and older. The sampling precision of Harris online polls is measured by using a Bayesian credible interval. For this study, the sample data is accurate to within +/- 3.4 percentage points using a 95% confidence level.
