Apprenticeship Details

LVNs admitted to these apprenticeship programs retain their permanent positions while in the program. LVNs gain the requisite RN skills and competencies through a combination of classroom theory, clinical experience, and on-the-job training. This program prepares individuals to function fully and effectively as RNs working for CCHCS under the complete care model. Our contract language provides time off without loss of pay (“20/20 time”) for apprentices to participate in classes and clinicals. Many of the costs associated with participation in these apprenticeship programs are covered by grant funding.

LVN-to-RN Preapprenticeship Expansion

Local 1000, in partnership with CCHCS, is excited to build on past training efforts by announcing a new pre-apprenticeship program beginning in fall 2023.  With coursework offered through San Joaquin Delta College, Sacramento City College, and Riverside City College, this program is intended to support LVNs who are pursuing the LVN-to-RN apprenticeship program but need assistance to complete core science prerequisites.  Preapprentices will have their tuition waived as they continue to complete the requirements on their pathway to becoming a Registered Nurse.

Below are some helpful links to provide you with information for our various LVN to RN programs, as well as information about how to apply.

Overview

LVN-to-RN Apprenticeship Program
Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVN) to Registered Nursing (RN) Apprenticeship

In 2017, Local 1000 worked to launch the very first LVN-to-RN civil service apprenticeship program in the country, offering upward mobility to Unit 20 healthcare workers at California Correctional Health Care Services (CCHCS). Since then, we have continued to grow our program by partnering with San Joaquin Delta College, Sacramento City College, and Riverside City College. With the support of grant funding secured by Local 1000’s research department along with supplemental funding from SEIU HCAP, Local 1000 has registered over 75 apprentices in these apprenticeships.

Apprenticeship Details

SEIU Local 1000 continues to expand the scope of apprenticeship opportunities it works to provide to our members. In 2017, the nation’s first public sector IT apprenticeship program with a networking focus was launched.  The program has since broadened to also include a focus of help desk/client services. Nearly 50 IT apprentices have been registered so far, and they receive on-the-job training as well as college level instruction. Many of our apprentices have already received promotions into their sought-after IT classifications. In 2019, SEIU Local 1000 partnered with Government Operations Agency, the California Department of Technology, Division of Apprenticeship Standards, IBM, and American River College to establish an apprenticeship aimed at mainframe computing. The most recent addition to SEIU Local 1000’s portfolio of apprenticeships is the Cybersecurity Apprenticeship Program, which has been developed as another partnership with American River College, along with the Division of Apprenticeship Standards, Franchise Tax Board, and Labor & Workforce Development Agency.

FREEDOM FOUNDATION’S ‘WISH LIST FOR STATE EMPLOYEES

Who is the Freedom Foundation? Why are they pushing for people to drop their union membership?

They are trying to defund unions and  weaken our political power

They are largely funded by out-of-state, right-wing billionaires

and suffer from the consequences of the attacks on our wages, our benefits and public services by organizations like the Freedom Foundation. 

  • Americans for Prosperity states simply:  “The federal government has already provided an unprecedented level of assistance to state and local governments. More federal bailouts of state and local governments should be rejected.”
     
  • watch my average pay go down.  
    • Workers in “Right-to-Work” states make $6,109 less per year than their counterparts in collective bargaining states. State workers in Wisconsin have not been allowed to negotiate a salary increase of more than 2% total for the last seven years.
  • see our political power weaken so I don’t have a union to fight legislation that cuts my benefits. 
    • Members in Wisconsin saw an immediate 24% cutback to their benefits with the passage of anti-union legislation in 2010. Workers in Wisconsin have lost the right to negotiate over benefits, retirement, and working conditions.
  • Without a union:
    • Employers act unchecked, lowering wages and cutting benefits
       
    • State legislatures are free to pass laws that shift costs to working people, erode voting rights, and exempt corporations from paying their fair share.
