The semiconductor industry is rapidly growing and requires highly skilled engineers to meet its demands. According to Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son, Vietnam will need between 30,000 to 50,000 engineers by 2030. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge for universities to develop training programs that meet the quantity and quality demands of businesses.
Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Phong Dien from Hanoi University of Science and Technology suggests that training programs should be based on the actual needs of the industry, determining which fields of semiconductor ICs the engineers will work in after completing their training. Meanwhile, Dr. Nguyen Duc Minh from Hanoi University of Science and Technology proposes a pilot manufacturing program that involves collaboration between universities, businesses, and government to provide scholarships, tax incentives, and resources for training programs in the semiconductor chip industry.
Dr. Nguyen Minh Son from the University of Information Technology in Ho Chi Minh City highlights the gap between the skills taught in universities and the skills needed in IC design companies. He proposes a training program focused on System-on-Chip-oriented IC design to address this discrepancy and emphasizes the need for a shared laboratory model to promote research and train human resources in the semiconductor chip industry.
Overall, developing suitable training programs for engineers in the semiconductor industry is crucial to meeting its growing demand for skilled professionals and driving technological advancements and economic growth in Vietnam.
