Semiconductor industry development is a common trend in the world in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and continues to be an inevitable trend in the future.
With many advantages, Vietnam is emerging as a key market for large semiconductor industry investors worldwide. However, the semiconductor industry is a very new industry in Vietnam, requiring careful preparation to seize opportunities and develop effectively, in which human resource training is a fundamental issue. The Government has issued the Program for Human Resource Development in the Semiconductor Industry to 2030, with a vision to 2050; the Strategy for Developing Vietnam's Semiconductor Industry to 2030 and Vision to 2050; and directed the promotion of human resource training for the semiconductor industry and some core digital technology industries...
With the spirit of "keeping up, progressing together and surpassing", Quang Ninh also quickly proposed plans to develop the semiconductor industry in the area, promptly exploiting the strengths of this new growth driver. However, semiconductor is a very broad technology field, related to many different industries and professions, from materials, chemistry, physics, electricity, electronics, mechanics to higher application industries such as information technology, computer science, artificial intelligence... According to the Planning of Quang Ninh province for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050 approved by the Prime Minister in Decision No. 80/QD-TTg dated February 11, 20232; The project on human resource development in Quang Ninh province to 2025 with a vision to 2030 has been approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Decision No. 1061/QD-UBND dated April 4, 2024 and related sector and field plans. The province's labor training target until 2030 only focuses on training in the fields of information and communication technology; science and technology; processing and manufacturing industry, without detailed orientation to the semiconductor industry.
Based on the results of the synthesis and review of the current status of related units, Quang Ninh does not have any projects outside industrial parks and economic zones related to semiconductor industry and artificial intelligence; there are no universities or colleges training in fields related to semiconductor technology. In industrial parks and economic zones in the province, there are only projects similar to the semiconductor industry, with labor mainly producing electronic components, household appliances, smart devices, etc.
By the end of December 2024, the total number of workers related to the field similar to the semiconductor industry working in industrial parks and economic zones is about 6,000 workers, of which the design and development stage is 30 workers; production: 4,000 workers; packaging: 300 workers; testing: 350 workers. The training level of workers in the stages is also very diverse, from university, college to junior high school and high school graduates, in which the largest proportion is workers with junior high school and high school degrees (accounting for 83.57%, concentrated in the production and packaging stages); university and college degrees (accounting for 16.43%, concentrated in the design and development stage).
It is expected that by 2030, the labor demand related to the semiconductor industry in industrial parks and economic zones in the province will need over 13,000 people; of which, university level needs about 315 people (accounting for 2.3% of the total number of newly recruited workers) in the design and development stage; college level needs about 750 people (accounting for 5.5% of the total number of newly recruited workers) in the production stage; junior high school and high school graduates need about 12,476 people (accounting for 92.1% of the total number of newly recruited workers) in the production, packaging and testing stages.
Identifying human resource training for the semiconductor industry as the "breakthrough of breakthroughs" in training high-quality human resources, a top priority, Quang Ninh has proposed solutions to realize the set goals. In particular, improving the capacity of higher education institutions, vocational education, lecturer training, investing in facilities to promote research and development activities in the semiconductor industry. Allocating funds from the local budget to implement mechanisms and policies to support training in the semiconductor industry; participating in and enhancing cooperation between the state, universities, research institutes, innovation centers, and enterprises to improve training efficiency and create output for human resources.
To grasp and realize the opportunities brought by the semiconductor industry, the province needs to have strong and synchronous investment in the fields of training, research and development, as well as improving technological infrastructure. At the same time, it is necessary to create conditions for diversification in training forms (formal training, specialist training, advanced training, retraining); training levels (bachelor, master, doctorate); training resources (state, enterprise, society, public-private partnership), meeting the human resource requirements of semiconductor enterprises in the province, gradually moving towards meeting the needs outside the province.
