Hanoi (VNA) – A recent seminar in Hanoi highlighted the critical importance of the coordination among state agencies, schools, and enterprises to the development of human resources for the semiconductor industry.
Addressing the August 9 event, Vu Hai Quan, Director of the Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCMC), affirmed that state agencies and enterprises’ participation in the training of the resources is extremely necessary, as it helps improve training quality, thus creating favourable conditions for graduates and meeting market demand.
Such partnerships as those between the National Innovation Centre (NIC) and the VNU-HCMC, as well as between FPT Group and educational establishments, should be expanded, he said.
FPT Chairman Truong Gia Binh said that state agencies have been working even harder than enterprises over the recent past, while universities have never embarked on training semiconductor manpower so quickly in such a short period of time.
Vietnam aims to train 50,000 semiconductor engineers, and FPT has pledged to train 10,000 of them. To do so, the firm is investing in systems from general to higher education and also working with the Republic of Korea, Taiwan (China), Japan, and the US to seek every possible way to boost training cooperation, he noted.
He stressed that there are plenty of job opportunities for semiconductor manpower, adding no matter how many of them graduate, it still not enough for FPT alone.
Binh noted the key factor helping strengthen cooperation among the State, schools, and enterprises in developing the resources is a clear mechanism for sharing information, resources, and experience.
Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung perceived that the trilateral cooperation is leverage for unprecedented development and innovation in the technology sector of Hanoi. This partnership will receive much more support once the plan on developing human resources for the semiconductor industry by 2030, with a vision to 2050, that his ministry recently submitted is approved by the Government.
The official went on to say that the NIC’s coordination with domestic and international partners to build chip design training programmes is an important step on Vietnamese people’s path to master semiconductor technology.
Speaking at the seminar, Secretary of the Da Nang municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang said the central city is exerting efforts to create an optimal environment for enterprises to participate in the development of semiconductor human resources.
He added it has been implementing various solutions, with a focus on building the legal basis for devising investment attraction policies, preparing land and infrastructure, cooperating with enterprises in manpower development, and attracting chip, semiconductor and artificial intelligence experts./.
