To excel in the semiconductor industry, engineers must undergo a rigorous training program that can span up to 6 years. Therefore, it is crucial to design a suitable training program for aspiring engineers. This was emphasized by Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son during the conference titled “Training program for the semiconductor chip industry until 2030 – Challenges and solutions,” which took place on April 26.
According to Deputy Minister Son, focusing on training engineers for the semiconductor industry is a strategic move that will help leverage technology access and transfer opportunities, leading to rapid and sustainable economic growth. Foreign corporations are more likely to invest in Vietnam if they see that the country has skilled human resources. However, attracting students to study and develop strong training programs requires a viable market.
Deputy Minister Son highlighted the importance of developing training programs that are industry-driven to ensure proper focus. In addition to designing effective training models, universities should offer 4-year bachelor’s programs with intensive training that starts immediately after enrollment. Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Phong Dien from Hanoi University of Science and Technology sees this demand as both an opportunity and a challenge for universities. He recommended that training programs should align with business needs in terms of quantity and quality, focusing on specific fields within the semiconductor IC industry.
Dr. Nguyen Duc Minh from the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Hanoi University of Science and Technology proposed a pilot manufacturing program that involves collaboration between educational institutions and industry partners. This program would include facilities construction, scholarship incentives, tax benefits, joint investment in research programs for international cooperation, among other benefits.
Dr. Nguyen Minh Son from the University of Information Technology suggested piloting a training program focused on System-on-Chip-oriented IC design. This approach would involve mastering the IC design process through system-on-chip design while building shared laboratory facilities to foster research and train skilled human resources with a specific focus on this area.
In conclusion, developing suitable training programs for aspiring engineers is crucial for success in the semiconductor industry
