For 45 years we have helped countless students gain the real-world skills they need to step into a new career, so that they can support themselves and their families, while serving their community with integrity.
SJVC was founded by Shirley and Bob Perry, a passionate and hardworking couple who overcame the challenges of getting an education while working and raising a family. They founded SJVC to empower others who also wish to grow, evolve, and unlock new opportunities. Learn about their journey and SJVC’s beginnings here!
We offer over 20 exciting degree and certificate programs. With classes in healthcare, business, and industrial fields, we have something to spark the passion of every student — the sky’s the limit at SJVC!
We welcome students from all walks of life. Our variety of classes, and combination of classroom, online, and hands-on learning are designed to support your priorities, not ours.
We have a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) advisory committee that works to give all students a voice and help them feel safe and included. This committee works with leadership to consider the impact of important issues on minority groups and educate our students about them.
