Associate Professor Dr. Tran Cong Hung, Saigon International University, said that currently, schools are only allowed to open specialized semiconductor microcircuit majors. If a semiconductor microcircuit major is opened according to the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training, there must be a doctorate in the correct semiconductor microcircuit major. To meet this requirement, the university must wait another 10 years because of waiting for training.

In response to this concern, Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy, Director of the Department of Higher Education (Ministry of Education and Training), affirmed that if the name of the semiconductor industry is correct, it must be based on the list of pilot industries that the Ministry has announced. However, the Ministry of Education and Training has a new decision to add pilot industries. For example, 2 national universities have their own regulations, specifically allowing them to pilot open industries outside the list. However, other universities need to consider.
According to Mr. Do Tien Thinh, in order to train quality human resources for the semiconductor industry, universities must upgrade their facilities and improve the qualifications of their lecturers. Currently, most of Vietnam’s lecturers do not meet the “tasks” set by businesses.
Mr. Do Tien Thinh, Deputy Director of the National Innovation Center (NIC), Ministry of Finance, said that from the Government's strategic orientation, it can be seen that Vietnam will take the design stage as the core, universities must train a large enough number, ensuring quality to serve the domestic and foreign markets. Second, focus on training human resources for assembly, testing, and packaging (ATP). This team is a branch of labor export, a branch serving FDI companies in Vietnam such as Intel, AmKor and a number of other corporations that are promoting investment in Vietnam. The production stage requires human resources, but at present, not for Vietnam but for the needs of foreign factories.
However, the current limitation is that lecturers at Vietnamese universities basically cannot meet the "tasks" set by foreign enterprises. Therefore, in training human resources for the semiconductor industry, Vietnam goes in parallel: training lecturers and training workers and students.

NIC has provided some training courses for lecturers, however, most of them are in the form of pilot training. The current view is to train according to the orders of enterprises using labor. “Currently, we are only testing the waters because there are too many programs. For example, the programs of Korea, the US... are different and each program has its own strengths. We test the waters to choose the best and most suitable one,” said Mr. Thinh. According to Mr. Thinh, the curriculum is the standards set by enterprises that are lacking human resources and need labor, such as TSMC (the world's leading semiconductor corporation in Taiwan, China), at that time, Vietnamese universities followed those standards to teach. This is how NIC is accompanying Vietnamese training institutions and corporations. That means training according to the standards ordered by enterprises. NIC has piloted a smart traffic training model, placing orders for 2-year teacher training in Vietnam and 2 years working for semiconductor companies in Taiwan, China. Thus, lecturers who are both specialized and know the practical market, when they return to teach students in Vietnam, they will know what is suitable for the potential market. “The most difficult thing is that the goal of training 50,000 engineers but 5,000 graduates are unemployed is not good. Therefore, a strong solution is to work with the place where the assignment is located. For example, Da Nang City works with businesses preparing to invest here. What are the job positions, what are the skills to prepare training to meet. Therefore, provinces and cities survey units preparing to invest and we have time to prepare,” Mr. Thinh analyzed.
For learners, NIC representatives believe that it is necessary to divide them into groups such as those who have graduated from related majors and can take short-term courses (9 months or less) to convert immediately and NIC is focusing on this group. This group works for companies in Vietnam that need a lot of workers. The second group is trained in a long-term manner, the task of universities is to upgrade facilities and lecturers. There should be more labs and scholarships for students. The government needs to support schools. Policies always have a delay, but the current good signal is that businesses and universities run on their own when they see the needs of the market. Another signal is Resolution 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, the National Assembly's pilot resolution on science, technology and digital transformation. Including policies to support semiconductor factories. Mr. Thinh assessed that Vietnam has prospects and is going in the right direction, but how fast or slow it is depends on how much State resources it supports and how well it can promote with other countries.
