The importance of international cooperation
Marvell Vietnam's General Director, Le Quang Dam, affirmed that high-quality human resources are a key factor for the development of the semiconductor industry, not only in Vietnam but also globally.
“Marvell is accelerating its expansion in Vietnam, particularly in Da Nang , with the goal of making Vietnam Marvell’s third-largest chip design center, after the US and India. We aim to increase our workforce to approximately 500 people by 2026,” said Mr. Le Quang Dam.
Marvell is currently developing engineering centers in Vietnam, focusing on advanced microchip technologies such as optical connectivity, storage, and analog- and mixed-signal semiconductor technologies. These are key technologies in building modern infrastructure to meet the growing demands for performance and speed from cloud data centers and artificial intelligence (AI).
To realize this goal, Marvell Vietnam's General Director, Le Quang Dam, emphasized the necessity of cooperation between businesses and training institutions to develop highly qualified human resources capable of competing with international businesses.
A single business cannot meet all the needs for training high-quality human resources. Therefore, cooperation between businesses and training institutions is essential. Businesses, with their practical experience and deep understanding of the market, can provide training institutions with up-to-date information on workforce needs, thereby helping to adjust curricula accordingly. In addition, businesses can also support by providing internship opportunities and a real-world work environment for students, helping them gain early exposure to real projects, thus honing their skills and enhancing their capabilities.
Sharing experiences from Arizona State University (ASU)
Tran Van Thai, Senior Manager for Monitoring and Evaluation at Arizona State University, shared that ASU's semiconductor training program is designed based on practical experience and the needs of the global industry. Arizona State University is ready to collaborate with partners in Vietnam and Da Nang to develop similar training programs, helping students access the most advanced knowledge and skills.
Based on that, Mr. Tran Van Thai outlined several directions for future cooperation between ASU and its partners in Vietnam, including the development of short-term courses, faculty and student exchanges, and collaborative research and development of new technologies in the semiconductor industry. This will provide a solid foundation for Da Nang to develop human resources to meet the needs of this industry.
Collaborative research and development of new technologies is one of ASU's strengths; ASU's projects not only provide opportunities for students and faculty to participate in cutting-edge research but also contribute to enhancing Vietnam's technological capabilities in the semiconductor field.
Availability of training facilities in Da Nang
Associate Professor Huynh Cong Phap, Rector of the Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology, Da Nang University, presented a paper on the readiness of training institutions in Da Nang in training semiconductor microchip human resources.
“We have fully prepared the facilities, faculty, and training programs to meet the needs of the semiconductor industry. The Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology is currently working closely with international businesses and organizations to ensure that students can find employment immediately after graduation,” said Associate Professor Dr. Huynh Cong Phap.
Furthermore, Associate Professor Dr. Huynh Cong Phap emphasized that, thanks to the close combination of theory and practice, along with cooperation with businesses, the Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology has been building a solid foundation to train highly qualified engineers, ready to contribute to the development of the semiconductor industry not only in Da Nang but also nationwide.
Collaboration with international businesses offers numerous significant benefits. Foreign companies not only act as partners providing advanced technology and equipment, but also serve as a bridge, giving students the opportunity to work in an international environment and access global standards and work processes. This not only enhances the quality of education but also helps students become more confident when entering the international job market, meeting the stringent requirements of the semiconductor industry worldwide .
