Urgently complete the semiconductor human resource development mechanism in 2025

Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long has just signed Directive No. 43/2024 of the Prime Minister on promoting human resource training for the semiconductor industry and some core digital technology industries.

The Directive aims to promote the implementation of the Party and State's guidelines and policies, and the Prime Minister 's direction to create breakthroughs in training and developing high-quality human resources in the semiconductor industry and core digital technology industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), big data, blockchain. The Prime Minister requested ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities to actively organize the implementation of the Vietnam Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy to 2030 and the Program "Developing human resources for the semiconductor industry to 2030, with a vision to 2050". Urgently promulgate semiconductor training program standards The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Education and Training to complete the development and promulgation of semiconductor training program standards in the first quarter of 2025. The Prime Minister also requested to review, research, propose amendments and supplements to mechanisms and policies on tuition exemption and reduction, and scholarship granting for students studying majors related to the semiconductor and core digital technology industries at home and abroad, to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Ministry of Education and Training was also assigned to research, propose and organize the implementation of a model of human resource training linkage for the semiconductor industry and core digital technology industries between the State, schools and enterprises. This unit was also required to urgently complete and submit to competent authorities for approval projects and programs on developing high-quality human resources, developing a system of excellent training centers and talents in 4.0 technology; Create a favorable environment to promote international cooperation in training high-quality human resources, exchanging experts and lecturers specializing in the field of semiconductor microchips and core digital technology at higher education institutions. The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Information and Communications to promote communication about the role and importance of training human resources to serve the semiconductor and core digital technology industries. The Ministry of Information and Communications was assigned to complete the forecast of human resource needs as a basis for training of higher education institutions in the fourth quarter of 2025, and complete the construction of a shared platform and tools to serve the training of experts in semiconductor chip design and development in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Facilitating technology start-up projects The Ministry of Science and Technology is assigned to complete the development of guidelines for implementing science and technology tasks in higher education institutions and research institutes with doctoral training in the semiconductor and core digital technology industries in the first quarter of 2025. The agency is also directed to increase support for technology research and development activities associated with training of highly qualified human resources to form and develop strong research groups, creating conditions for young research groups and technology start-up projects with development potential in the semiconductor and core digital technology industries. The Ministry of Planning and Investment is assigned to urgently select priority projects to invest in semiconductor laboratories for training and research in stages in accordance with market needs in accordance with the provisions of law. At the same time, this agency also needs to research and propose the development of specific mechanisms and policies on investment incentives, resource mobilization, use of state budget, public assets, laboratory sharing mechanisms, attracting talents, experts, and lecturers to develop human resources in the semiconductor and core digital technology industries. The Prime Minister requested ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, and People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities to strengthen close cooperation in the relationship between the State, schools, innovation centers, and enterprises to improve the effectiveness of training and human resource development, especially for the semiconductor and core digital technology industries. The People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities are assigned to forecast human resource needs to serve the development of the semiconductor and core digital technology industries in their localities and develop specific plans and roadmaps until 2030 to develop human resources suitable to local conditions. Promote solutions to mobilize and diversify resources for human resource development in the semiconductor and core digital technology industries; allocate appropriate financial resources for training and research programs to serve human resource development in the semiconductor and core digital technology industries of the industry and locality.
