The provincial government invested in 55 new Licensed Practical Nursing seats through the college in Portage la Prairie and rural rotating sites in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The university has a good relationship with its alumni members and the goal of the Alumni Association is to improve ties between current students and alumni. The alumni receive a number of perks, such as a variety of employment options from the college, access to the library, a lifetime of free educational possibilities, and computers to help them update their resumes and hunt for employment, among other things. Garth Donald, Darren Motuz, and Darcy Spence are a few of the former students.
