FPT cooperates in training and developing smart car software in Vietnam

The event marked the birth of the Cranes FPT Training System, marking an important turning point in training high-tech human resources in Vietnam.

This is the first international standard short-term Smart Car Software Development training program in Vietnam, meeting the increasing demand in the global automobile industry.

Mr. Truong Gia Binh shared at the signing ceremony.

Cranes Varsity is one of the world's leading engineering training institutes, affiliated with Cranes Software International Ltd., with over 25 years of experience in technology education; an official training partner of leading technology corporations (Texas Instruments, MathWorks, Wind River and ARM), Cranes Varsity has trained over 100,000 engineers and supported 70,000 engineers to get jobs at major enterprises around the world.

Mr. Truong Gia Binh - Chairman of FPT Corporation said: The automobile industry is undergoing a strong transformation and needs a huge number of personnel with many different specialties. In such a context, international cooperation will bring Vietnam to a big game. With the combination of Cranes Varsity's training experience and FPT's technological capacity, we are confident that we will provide high-quality human resources for Vietnam and the world in the shortest time.

Mr. Asif Khader - Co-founder and CEO of Cranes Software shared: This cooperation will help Vietnamese students access the international standard Smart Automotive Software Development training program, including knowledge and skills in automotive software development, focusing on embedded systems, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced automotive technology. Cranes FPT training system officially enrolls students from March 2025 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. High school graduates, students, and working people who want to improve their expertise or change careers are suitable subjects to study this program.

The program provides a foundation from basic to advanced in programming, simulation, software testing and application of industry standards. AI content accounts for nearly 30% of the entire curriculum, helping students master the latest technologies.

Mr. Asif Khader is excited about the cooperation between the two sides.

Upon completion of the 2-year program, students will be awarded an Advanced Diploma in Automotive Software Development (ADAS) by Cranes Varsity. This is an internationally recognized certificate that will help students meet the recruitment standards of domestic and foreign automotive technology companies.

The automotive industry is changing dramatically, with the global automotive electronics and software market expected to reach $462 billion by 2030, according to a McKinsey & Company report.

Vietnam is emerging as a new hub in the global automotive software supply chain, creating a huge demand for highly skilled software engineers. The cooperation between FPT and Cranes Varsity will help train a new generation of human resources, meeting the demand for high-tech human resources development in the field of smart automotive software domestically and internationally, contributing to Vietnam's rise in the digital age.

Recently, FPT announced the strategy of AI-Selling-Digital-Cars and automotive software technology as one of the key strategies of the group in the coming time. The group will improve its capacity in this field, with the goal of 50% growth and reaching a revenue of 1 billion USD by 2030. In order to meet the human resource needs of the group and the market, FPT has opened a university major in digital cars since January 2024. Signing the program transfer agreement with an Indian partner is the next strategic step to realize the above goal.
