According to the Ministry of Education and Training, on the 19th, in Da Nang, the Ministry of Education and Training will coordinate with a number of universities to organize a workshop on developing high-quality human resources in the semiconductor chip industry.
The workshop is part of the preparation for the action plan to promote training and research in the fields of semiconductor and microchip technology that the Ministry of Education and Training plans to submit to the Government this October.
Students of the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Hanoi University of Science and Technology) can work in the semiconductor field after completing conversion training.
Speaking to Thanh Nien Newspaper, Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), said that Vietnam is facing the opportunity to develop the semiconductor industry, especially after the visit of the US President last September. However, to seize this opportunity, we need to prepare human resources, especially high-quality human resources in the semiconductor industry.
Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of Department of Higher Education
Currently, there are over 50 large FDI enterprises investing in Vietnam in the microelectronics and semiconductor industry, in which the field of microchip design requires the most high-quality human resources. Currently, the number of microchip design personnel is about 5,000 people.
It is expected that in the near future, more large corporations will invest in Vietnam, mainly requiring human resources for microchip design, hopefully investing in the manufacturing industry. According to forecasts by some economic experts (Fulbright University), the total human resource demand in this field in the next 5 years is about 20,000 people and in the next 10 years about 50,000 people with university degrees or higher.
According to experts (from technical universities), the training demand in the next few years is about 3,000 people/year; of which, the number of post-graduate graduates accounts for at least 30% (including engineers, masters, and doctors).
Which industry is suitable, which industry is close?
Ms. Thuy believes that Vietnam's leading universities of technology are now relatively ready in terms of training capacity to meet the human resource requirements in the field of semiconductors and microchips.
Human resources for research, development and production of semiconductor materials have training majors in chemistry, physics, materials, etc. Human resources for design and production of microchips have the most suitable training majors in electronic engineering, electronics - telecommunications; related majors include electrical engineering, control and automation, mechatronics, etc.
Training can be done by recruiting new students from the beginning, or students studying related majors can switch to study in depth in the last 1-2 years; or engineers who have graduated from related majors can take additional training courses from a few months to 1-2 years to meet the requirements of the semiconductor and microchip fields.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, the number of new university students and graduates in suitable and related majors is as follows: suitable majors recruit about 6,000 new students/year and graduate about 5,000 students/year (an average increase of 7%/year); related majors recruit about 15,000 new students/year and graduate about 13,000 students/year (an average increase of 10%/year). "Thus, if 30% of students in suitable majors and 10% of related majors study microchips and semiconductors, the number of 3,000 graduates/year is feasible," said Ms. Thuy.
Ms. Thuy also said that the majors suitable for the semiconductor field are identified as electronics - telecommunications, microelectronics, etc. The related majors are electricity, mechatronics, automation, computer engineering, etc. For the suitable majors, schools need to adjust the training program to add 1-2 semesters of in-depth majors. For related majors, students who want to work in the semiconductor field need to study conversion and add 2-3 semesters.
