Frequently Asked Question
How do I become a CNA or LVN?
Many skilled nursing facilities are members of the SEIU Local 2015 union, and partners of the Education Fund. If you work in a nursing home in California that belongs to the union and participates in the Ed Fund Career Pathways program, you may be eligible to enroll in a CNA apprenticeship or other training.
CCA helps eligible nursing home workers access training and provides services to support workers through the training process. For information, email our team at: edfund@advancecaregivers.org
To find out if your nursing home is a member of the Ed Fund, visit the SEIU Local 2015 website.
