Vietnam’s Rapid Rise as a Global Hub for Semiconductor Human Resources

The semiconductor industry is rapidly growing, and Vietnam is well-positioned to become a global human resource center for the industry. This was emphasized by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha at a conference organized by Phenikaa Group, Phenikaa University in collaboration with Synopsys Corporation and Arizona State University.

The Ministry of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung also highlighted the importance of building Vietnam into a global human resource center for the semiconductor industry. He stressed the need to attract investment in research, design, production, packaging, and testing of semiconductor chips in Vietnam.

Phenikaa Group has entered the semiconductor industry in Vietnam through their subsidiary Phenikaa Semiconductor Company (S-Phenikaa). They are focused on training microchip human resources through their center and aim to train thousands of chip design engineers and technicians with international certificates to meet the industry’s human resource needs. They have also introduced the IC design major into the regular university training program to promote research, development, and design of advanced chips.

The government is investing heavily in building the Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy and Human Resource Training Project to create a team of high-quality human resources with expertise in semiconductor ICs. The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the importance of forecasting and evaluating market demand at each stage of the semiconductor industry value chain.

The Ministry of Science and Technology is supporting research and development related to semiconductor microchips to advance the industry in Vietnam. They will prioritize research topics related to semiconductor microcircuits and support young research groups in this field. The goal is to enhance the country’s capabilities in semiconductor technology and innovation.

In conclusion, Vietnam has great potential to become a global hub for human resources in the semiconductor industry. With government support, private sector investment, and a focus on education and training, it can achieve its goal of becoming a leading player in this rapidly growing field.
