In Dong Nai, the province has identified one of the key tasks as training high-quality human resources to meet the roadmap for science, technology (S&T), innovation (I&T) development and digital transformation. Thereby, concretizing the goals of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in S&T development, I&T and national digital transformation in the province.

Preparing human resources for STEM

The Government 's project aims to prepare human resources in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with high professional and technical qualifications to meet the needs of expanding investment in developing high-tech fields, focusing on a team of talented human resources capable of participating deeply in the research and development of strategic and prioritized high-tech technologies.

From there, it creates a national competitive advantage in attracting investment from large technology corporations in the world, contributing to the economic restructuring 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 people studying STEM fields will reach 35% at each training level, of which at least 2.5% will be in basic sciences and 18% will be in fields related to digital technology.

In Dong Nai, 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, fostering and attracting talents for key areas of the digital age and knowledge economy, prioritizing the fields of digital technology (AI, Big Data, Cloud, Blockchain), data industry and high-tech medicine, etc.

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

At the seminar on “Solutions for the linkage model between schools - the state - enterprises 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, said that the university will promote cooperation and training in the fields of high technology and information technology. In recent times, the university has strengthened cooperation with technology companies and universities at home and abroad, as well as invested in facilities to improve the quality of training in this field. Thereby, contributing to the digital transformation process and the development of science and technology in the province.

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

Specialized training on semiconductor microcircuits

In the context of the fourth industrial revolution taking place strongly, the fields of microchips, microelectromechanics, and semiconductor technology play a key role in the development of science and technology and digital transformation. The capacity to research, design, and manufacture microchips and microelectromechanical components not only contributes to improving national technological capacity but also serves as a foundation for building high-tech industries, gradually mastering the value chain of technology products.

In Dong Nai, the Provincial People's Committee has issued a plan to implement the Vietnam Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy to 2030 and vision to 2050 in the province. The plan sets out 5 groups of tasks and solutions to develop the semiconductor industry in the province, including developing human resources for this field.

Recently, from May 19 to 30, the Department of Science and Technology coordinated with the Institute for Leadership Development (Ho Chi Minh City National University) to organize a training course to improve knowledge and capacity in microchip design, semiconductor microfabrication technology, microelectromechanical components - microsystems.

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

The trainees of this training course are cadres and lecturers at universities and colleges in Dong Nai province who are teaching and researching in related fields. The training course focuses on training content on basic knowledge of the semiconductor industry, global development trends and Vietnam's industry development strategy; knowledge of methods and practices of thin film coating techniques, etching techniques, diffusion doping and ion implantation techniques; semiconductor and MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) microfabrication processes.

Dr. Le Quoc Bao, Deputy Director of the Institute for Leadership Development, shared that students participating in the training course will learn theory combined with practice, in which practice time and field trips account for nearly 70% of the total number of hours of the training course. Students participating in the training course will be provided with basic, general knowledge about semiconductor microcircuits.

“In the coming time, 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,” said Dr. Le Quoc Bao.

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