Take the next step in your healthcare career
Free LPN training in as little as 13 months
Avamere and RISE Partnership have partnered to support you in taking the next step in your career. Licensed CNAs are eligible for a free licensed practical nursing (LPN) education program through the Institute of Technology (IOT).
Participants are enrolled in 13 months of college– level courses through IOT. During this time, you can keep your current employment status with Avamere. This means that you retain your employer-based benefits. You also have one-on-one mentorship with a program mentor throughout the duration of the program.
Applications open on May 1, 2025
We are accepting applications to the LPN program from May 1-May 15, 2025. During that time, instructions on how to apply for the program will appear here.
