Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in polytechnics was first introduced in Malaysia through the establishment of its first Politeknik Ungku Omar, Ipoh, Malaysia under the United Nations development plan in 1969. TVET was strengthened with the approval of the cabinet committee on education in 1979 and the first national industrial master plan (1985–1995). All plans including the cabinet committee's certificate on training (1991), have enabled the establishment of more polytechnics and added study programs in the fields of engineering, commerce and services.
