The concept paper outlines a strategic approach to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) systems for managing and documenting Industry On Campus (IoC) programs at Malaysian community colleges through Kolej Komuniti Arau as a pilot site. The research employs design-based research (DBR) to develop and test an AI system that utilizes Microsoft Power Automate and ChatGPT to automate data processing and generate reports and provide real-time analytics. The literature review spanning 2020–2025 demonstrates that these technologies will decrease administrative workloads while improving reporting precision and increasing institutional openness. The expected outcomes include up to 50% time savings in documentation, increased stakeholder engagement, and alignment with national digital transformation agendas like MyDIGITAL and the National 4IR Policy. The paper presents an operational and expandable framework for AI-based TVET administration which provides guidance for both policy development and implementation to support enduring educational governance innovation.
