On October 5, the launching ceremony of the Technology Talent Development Program - Samsung Innovation Campus 2023 - 2024 took place. The program aims to develop high-tech capabilities for the young generation of Vietnam who will lead the success of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 in Vietnam in the future.
Speaking at the event, Ms. Ngo Thi Minh, Deputy Minister of Education and Training emphasized: "The program is very suitable for the educational policy and is practical in the national digital transformation program for the period 2025 and orientation to 2030".
Mr. Choi Joo Ho - General Director of Samsung Vietnam Complex assessed that the demand for technology talent in Vietnam is recently exploding. In the context of the 4.0 industrial era, Vietnam's policies have many information technology enterprises investing in Vietnam. This environment brings wide-open opportunities for young people in Vietnam.
“However, the training of IT talents in Vietnam is currently very limited. This is also the reason why we are making more efforts to train IT and science and technology talents in Vietnam through programs,” said Mr. Choi Joo Ho.
It is known that this year's program will continue to provide technology capacity development courses for young people aged 14 - 24.
In particular, from this year, the program will increase the teaching time of advanced technology courses including: Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data and 1 Basic Programming Skills Course (Coding & Programming).
These courses will be taught in a combination of online and offline formats to reach students in many provinces and regions across the country.
The program is designed on an educational foundation that combines future core technology skills with soft skills and practical work skills.
These training contents are selected through conducting stratified surveys according to development trends in industries in different regions, combined with recruitment needs at large companies.
Students who complete the course and achieve the required results will receive a certificate of completion, as well as have the opportunity to practice building a final project, applying the knowledge they have learned to solve real-life problems.
The program is expected to provide learning and technology development opportunities for about 6,000 students in Vietnam.
In addition, the program will also organize training courses for teachers, to support the improvement of professional and pedagogical capacity as well as supplement practical teaching ability.
In particular, responding to the Prime Minister's call, this year Samsung will cooperate with the National Innovation Center (NIC) to build a specialized lab for the Samsung Innovation Campus program right at the NIC Hoa Lac campus, and coordinate with NIC to select students to participate in the project. It is expected that about 300 students will participate in Samsung Innovation Campus courses at this facility.
The program was officially launched globally in 2019 and has now expanded to 32 countries worldwide such as the US, Germany, Spain, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc.
In Vietnam, the program has also been implemented since 2019. After 5 years, the program has provided about 6,021 Vietnamese youth and about 389 teachers with courses such as C&P, AI, Big Data, IoT. Up to now, the project has expanded to about 40 schools and 20 provinces and cities nationwide.
