In Dong Nai province, one of its key priorities is training high-quality human resources to meet the development roadmap for science and technology (S&T), innovation, and digital transformation. This concretizes the objectives of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in national S&T development, innovation, and digital transformation within the province.

Preparing human resources for STEM

The government 's plan aims to prepare highly qualified human resources in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to meet the needs of expanding investment and development in high-tech fields, focusing on a talented workforce capable of deeply participating in the research and development of strategic and high-tech technologies.

This will create a national competitive advantage in attracting investment from major global technology corporations, contributing to the restructuring of the economy and sustainable development of the country in the new era based on science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, and green transformation.

The specific goal by 2030 is to rapidly increase the scale of high-level training in STEM fields, especially basic sciences and fields related to digital technology, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. The proportion of students pursuing STEM fields should reach 35% at each educational level, with at least 2.5% in basic sciences and 18% in fields related to digital technology.

In Dong Nai province, according to the Department of Science and Technology, the province identifies the development of high-quality human resources as a key factor for breakthrough development in science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation. Accordingly, special attention is paid to training, nurturing, and attracting talent for key sectors of the digital age and knowledge economy, prioritizing digital technology (AI, Big Data, Cloud, Blockchain), data industry, and high-tech medicine…

Many training institutions, universities, and colleges in the area are increasingly focusing on training high-quality human resources in high-tech fields, digital transformation, and promoting the development of science and technology.

At a seminar on the topic "Solutions for a model of linkage between schools, the state, and businesses in implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW" organized by the Department of Science and Technology in May 2025, Dr. Lam Thanh Hien, Rector of Lac Hong University, stated that the university will strengthen cooperation and training in high technology and information technology. In recent times, the university has enhanced cooperation with technology companies and universities both domestically and internationally, as well as invested in facilities to improve the quality of training in this field. This contributes to the digital transformation process and the development of science and technology in the province.

Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology, VO HOANG KHAI:
“The Department of Science and Technology hopes that the Institute for Leadership Development (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City) will create opportunities for lecturers and students from Dong Nai to undertake practical internships at companies and institutes/schools that have partnerships with the institute, contributing to connecting and improving the quality of training human resources in high technology and semiconductor technology for the locality.”

Advanced training program in semiconductor microchips.

In the context of the ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution, the fields of microchips, microelectromechanical systems, and semiconductor technology play a crucial role in the development of science and technology and digital transformation. The capacity for research, design, and manufacturing of microchips and microelectromechanical components not only contributes to enhancing national technological capabilities but also serves as a foundation for building high-tech industries and gradually mastering the value chain of technology products.

In Dong Nai province, the Provincial People's Committee has issued a plan for implementing the Strategy for the Development of Vietnam's Semiconductor Industry until 2030 and with a vision to 2050. The plan outlines five groups of tasks and solutions for developing the semiconductor industry in the province, including the development of human resources for this field.

Recently, from May 19th to 30th, the Department of Science and Technology, in collaboration with the Institute for Leadership Development (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City), organized a training course to enhance knowledge and skills in integrated circuit design, semiconductor component manufacturing technology, and micro-electromechanical and micro-system components.

This training course is a concrete step, demonstrating Dong Nai's determination to invest in knowledge, unleash the potential for research, innovation, and application in the semiconductor technology field, thereby gradually concretizing the implementation of the Provincial People's Committee's plan on the implementation of the strategy for the development of Vietnam's semiconductor industry until 2030 and vision 2050 in the province.

The participants in this training course are officials and lecturers from universities and colleges in Dong Nai province who are teaching and researching in related fields. The course focuses on fundamental knowledge of the semiconductor industry, global development trends and Vietnam's industry development strategy; knowledge of methods and practices for thin-film material coating, etching techniques, diffusion doping and ion implantation techniques; and microfabrication processes for semiconductor and MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems).

Dr. Le Quoc Bao, Deputy Director of the Institute for Leadership Development, shared that trainees participating in the training course will learn theory combined with practice, with practical sessions and field trips accounting for nearly 70% of the total training hours. Trainees will be provided with fundamental and general knowledge about semiconductor integrated circuits.

"In the future, I hope that the Institute for Leadership Development and Dong Nai province will continue to promote cooperation programs on training specialized human resources for the locality to develop the semiconductor sector in particular and high-tech and information technology industries in general," Dr. Le Quoc Bao expressed.

According to Vo Hoang Khai, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology: “Organizing this training course is one of the concrete efforts to develop high-quality human resources in the field of microchip and semiconductor technology. I hope that, after this course, each trainee will continue to apply the knowledge they have acquired effectively to their professional work. At the same time, I hope that the Institute for Leadership Development will continue to cooperate with the locality in training programs, consulting, and knowledge and technology transfer in the future.”
