In recent years, the college has introduced Pathways, a system to help students achieve in areas they need for either trade courses or further tertiary education.

In December 2018 the minister announced that $15 million was to be allocated for redevelopment and replacing old buildings at the college, although this includes $9 million already allocated by the previous government. [3]
