Meet Canvas Career: Skills-aligned learning that scales, proves impact, and earns trust
Learning has never been more accessible. AI-assisted content and low-cost options are everywhere, which means even high-quality programs start to look interchangeable. Learners expect learning to be quick, easy to complete, relevant, and connected to real progress. For education and training providers, associations, credentialing bodies, and continuing education teams, the challenge is no longer just delivering great content. It is protecting credibility while meeting rising expectations for modern experiences and measurable outcomes.
This is where Canvas Career comes in. Canvas Career is the skills-based LMS solution designed for adult learners and built to help organizations create, deliver, and measure learning programs that drive engagement, skill development, and measurable impact.

What this looks like in the real world
Don’t just take our word for it! Here are two examples of organizations already using Canvas Career to make learning more credible, scalable, and connected to outcomes.
- Intelvio: From coursework to career confidence
Intelvio, an online healthcare training provider, used Canvas to deliver training to adult learners, but needed a more streamlined learner experience that better connected education to employability and transferable skills. Their leadership saw a need for learners to quickly assess current skills, track progress, and understand next steps.
Intelvio migrated to Canvas Career for its learner-first, skills-focused design, including skill tracking, personalized pathways, and AI tools for smarter course creation. And the transition did not slow them down. As Intelvio’s Chief Learning Officer Shauna Vorkink shared, “The migration from Canvas LMS to Canvas Career was seamless…including critical 3rd party integrations, and we were up and running right away.”
- Idaho State University: Reimagining learning at scale for short-form, skills-first programs
Idaho State University (ISU) serves traditional and non-traditional learners nationwide, but their former LMS struggled to support the scale and structure of their programs, including 13,000+ workforce training enrollments and 38,000+ learners in K–12 professional development. ISU also needed capabilities that supported accreditation and reporting requirements, plus a model that fit open enrollment and short-form formats where “grade snapshots don’t capture progress.”
Canvas Career stood out because it matched ISU’s vision for stackable, career-relevant learning. Open enrollment support meant programs were not bound to traditional terms, and ISU was drawn to the ability to verify both seat-time and skills, while giving learners a clear view of competency progress and outcomes. As ISU’s John Louviere put it, “Canvas Career is not just another LMS. It’s a fundamentally different experience designed for stackable, career-forward education.”
