Kolej Komuniti Kepala Batas

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) at the Polytechnic was first introduced in Malaysia through the establishment of its first Polytechnic, Ungku Omar Polytechnic in Ipoh under the United Nations Development Plan in 1969. TVET was strengthened by the Cabinet Committee on Education in 1979 and First National Industrial Master Plan (1985?1995). All planning, including the recommendation of the Cabinet Committee on training (1991), has enabled the establishment of more Polytechnics as well as increasing programs of study in the fields of engineering, trade and services.
To strengthen the role of Polytechnics and Community Colleges in the field of education and training, the Cabinet on 24 March 2017 approved the merger of Polytechnics and Community Colleges in one department. The new organizational structure of the Department of Polytechnic Education and Community College (JPPKK) was approved by the Public Service Department (JPA) on 23 February 2018.
