Ministry drafts plan for semiconductor workforce development

The Ministry of Planning and Investment is gathering ideas on a draft project to promote human resources development for the semiconductor industry until 2030 with a vision to 2050, destined for the approval of the Prime Minister.

By the end of the year, Vietnam aims to train at least 50,000 engineers and bachelor's degrees to serve the semiconductor industry in all stages of the value chain.

By 2050, Vietnam expects to become an important link in the global semiconductor industry value chain with a contingent of engineers and experts capable of meeting the development requirements of the Vietnamese semiconductor industry in both quality and quantity.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has recently signed a decision on the establishment of a national steering committee on semiconductor industry development.

The steering committee, an inter-sectoral coordination organisation, is tasked with helping the Government and Prime Minister study, direct and coordinate with competent sides to handle important related issues.

Representatives from several universities asserted that during the project’s implementation process, it is necessary to continue to have the active participation of relevant parties, especially the cooperation and consensus of institutes and training facilities./.
