San Joaquin Delta College (SJDC) LVN-to-RN Apprenticeship Information
SEIU Local 1000 is excited to announce that we are again accepting applications for the LVN to RN Apprenticeship Program at San Joaquin Delta College (SJDC) for a January 2025 cohort start. First launched in 2015, this program has been our longest running apprenticeship, and we are excited to see its continuation. This apprenticeship was developed as a collaborative effort by SEIU Local 1000, California Correctional Health Care Services (CCHCS), and SJDC to provide meaningful upward mobility to LVNs in working in the correctional environment.
Our contract language provides partial time off work without loss of pay (“20/20 time”) for apprentices to participate in classes and clinicals. Additionally, last year, SEIU Local 1000’s Research Department applied for and was awarded a $4.5 million grant to develop a High RoadSM Training Partnership (HRTP) supporting worker training. As such, costs and fees associated with the apprenticeship will be covered by grant funding, easing the financial burden of working while attending school. 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
