The tools include Canva Work Kits, which are new industry-curated collections of craft-specific templates.

Canva Courses help users turn existing designs from presentations, documents, and videos into segmented interactive courses. Anything from employee onboarding, upskilling, or development can be assigned to individuals across an organization. From a managerial end, progress can also be monitored via a central dashboard.
