Canva University’s mission is to ‘Empower and excite Canvanauts and our community to continuously learn and grow, helping them achieve crazy big goals’. We do this by partnering with our business stakeholders to identify and grow the capabilities we need. We design, curate and deliver world-class learning experiences to support Canvanauts with the knowledge, skills and mindsets they need at every step of their journey. However, we know there is so much more to unlocking growth than formal learning experiences and take a holistic view to build a culture of learning, empowering Canvanauts to apply and embed their learnings in their day to day.
Our learning experiences are aligned to our 12 Skills Framework, which sets out the most important skills that every Canvanaut needs to thrive throughout their journey at Canva. Our 12 Skills are centred on 4 pillars, Leadership & Coaching, Strategy, Communication & Craft.
