Palpable Score

76.8

/ 100

Canva offers early-career entry through two clear pathways: a 12-week internship program with structured learning time and a 12-month Launchpad program open to final-year students and people with up to two years’ experience. Canva also gives candidates unusually specific process expectations, including update timelines after applying and a staged Launchpad hiring flow that includes a take-home challenge. The main cap on the score is limited public data on conversion rates, promotions, and retention, plus a known round of job cuts affecting technical writers in March 2025.
