New Local 1000 LVN-to-RN Preapprenticeship Program

Post

Are you looking to join the LVN-to-RN Apprenticeship Program and obtain the education and skills to become a Registered Nurse, but lack some of the difficult prerequisite coursework?  The CCHCS and SEIU Local 1000 LVN-to-RN Preapprenticeship Program is aimed at supporting LVNs in participating facilities throughout the state in preparation to enter their target nursing apprenticeship program.

We have established the LVN-to-RN Preapprenticeship Program in partnership with San Joaquin Delta College, Sacramento City College, and Riverside City College!  SEIU Local 1000’s research efforts have secured California Apprenticeship Initiative (CAI) grant funding provided by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) to establish a Preapprenticeship program that will academically prepare you to eventually your targeted nursing apprenticeship program, all while still working as an LVN. This program will help LVNs complete the science prerequisite coursework needed to enter a nursing program. Tuition will be covered by the grant.
