In line with UTHM’s continuous growth and progress, the University administration, on 13 March 2003, established the Pro Tem Alumni Committee under the governance of the Student Affairs Office, comprising several members from UTHM’s first-generation alumni. The administration entrusted the committee with conducting studies, formulating and planning action strategies to strengthen alumni-related activities, and establishing a dedicated unit to serve as the bridge between the University and alumni.

Following that, the university established the Alumni Relations Unit (UHA) of UTHM on 16 June 2006 as a Centre of Responsibility (PTj) under the purview of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student and Alumni Affairs) to strengthen the management and administration of UTHM Alumni. UHA continued to evolve in tandem with the university’s progress, and during the University Executive Committee Meeting No. 1/2008 held on 22 January 2008, the committee officially renamed the unit as the Centre of Alumni Advancement and Relations (CARE), or in Malay, Pusat Kemajuan dan Hubungan Alumni, more widely known as CARE UTHM.

Subsequently, on 1 April 2019, the university rebranded CARE as the Centre of Career Advancement and Alumni (PKKA), encompassing three main departments: the Student Industrial Training Department, the Student Career Department, and the Alumni Relations Department. The Administration and Finance Unit, along with the Inbound, Data Governance, and Digitalization Section, further support PKKA to ensure the smooth operation of the centre.
