The semiconductor industry is rapidly growing and requires skilled professionals to keep up with its pace. Training programs for engineers in this field are vital to meet the growing demand for human resources, which is estimated to be between 30,000 to 50,000 by 2030. Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son emphasized the importance of developing suitable training programs that meet the needs of businesses in this industry during a conference held on April 26.
According to Dr. Nguyen Phong Dien from Hanoi University of Science and Technology, training programs should be based on the actual needs of the industry and determine which fields of semiconductor ICs engineers will work in after completing their training. Associate Professor Nguyen Duc Minh from Hanoi University of Science and Technology proposed 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 highlighted the gap between the skills taught in universities and those needed in IC design companies. He proposed a training program focused on System-on-Chip-oriented IC design to address this discrepancy and emphasized the need for a shared laboratory model to promote research and train human resources in this field.
In conclusion, developing training programs and models for engineers in the semiconductor industry is crucial to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in this field, drive technological advancements, and promote economic growth in Vietnam.
