Project Outcomes
BluLever Education works with youth from low-income households and partners with employers to transition graduates into dignified, sustainable careers. To scale its model and track learning-to-employment outcomes end-to-end, BluLever is extending Salesforce into a full Student Information System (SIS). A unified platform will consolidate recruitment, on-campus learning, portfolios of evidence, and placement data, reducing fragmentation and enabling early-warning flags for timely learner support.
The objective of this project was to design and deploy an organization-wide Salesforce Student Information System that is integrated with the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) and interoperable with other internal and partner systems. Data from legacy sources (e.g., Google Drive, spreadsheets, and other repositories) had to be normalized and migrated into a new platform that maps and automates the full learner lifecycle, centralizes documents, and delivers analytical reports, dashboards, and early-warning insights to improve progression, employment outcomes, and alumni engagement.
A structured methodology for the project involved reviewing data across multiple sources and designing a robust Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) to anchor the target model. Figma prototypes were used to validate user journeys, guiding the development of Salesforce custom objects and interfaces aligned with the ERD. Legacy data was cleaned and normalized using Python, followed by the import of documents and migration of records.
Finally, the Canvas LMS integration was implemented in Apex, enabling seamless synchronization of courses and enrollments for end-to-end learner tracking.
The key deliverables for this project focused on strengthening data management and integration within Salesforce by migrating legacy data, mapping student workflows, and integrating with Canvas (LMS) and other priority systems.
Key technology/tools used: Salesforce Platform, Apex/External Services, REST APIs, Canvas LMS API, Data Import Wizard, Node.js, jsforce, Python, pandas, Figma, dbdiagram.io, and draw.io.
