We are excited to announce another application period for the LVN-to-RN Apprenticeship Program at San Joaquin Delta College (SJDC) with a cohort start date of August 2026! First launched in 2015, this program has been our longest running apprenticeship, and we are excited to see its continuation. As a result of SEIU Local 1000’s ongoing research efforts, we are able to launch another cohort with High RoadSM Training Partnership (HRTP) grant funding provided by the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB).
The program provides partial time off work without loss of pay for apprentices to participate in classes and clinicals. Additionally, the grant funding covers many of the costs associated with participation in this apprenticeship, removing the financial burden many working learners face when returning to school. The program lasts approximately one year.
Presently, this application period is open to full-time LVNs working at one of the following institutions:
• Central California Women’s Facility
• California Health Care Facility
• California Medical Facility
• California State Prison – Sacramento
• California State Prison – Solano
• Folsom State Prison
• Mule Creek State Prison
• San Quentin State Prison
• Sierra Conservation Center
• Valley State Prison
Information Sessions
Two information sessions will be held virtually on Microsoft Teams. Representatives from SEIU Local 1000, CCHCS, and SJDC will be in attendance to answer questions about the program. Details are below:
