Opening of the integrated circuit design training program.

On the afternoon of July 16th, the National Innovation Center (NIC), in collaboration with Qorvo Corporation (USA) and Cadence Corporation (USA), held the opening ceremony for a microchip design training program and signed a cooperation agreement between NIC and Qorvo at the headquarters of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, under the chairmanship of Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung.

The ceremony was attended by 40 selected and scholarship recipients participating in the training program, including outstanding lecturers and students from Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Military Technical Academy, University of Transport, Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, Cryptography Technical Academy, University of Electricity, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, and Hanoi University of Industry.

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung speaks at the event.

The opening ceremony marked the beginning of an important training program aimed at enhancing the capacity of human resources in the field of semiconductor integrated circuit design – a field currently facing a shortage of skilled personnel in Vietnam.

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement between representatives of NIC and foreign investors.

Qorvo provides instructors and senior experts in the field of integrated circuit design, along with the company's training program, based on US standards; meanwhile, Cadence provides full licensing of integrated circuit design software for the training program. Participants attend intensive training at NIC's Hanoi facility for 3 months; upon completion, they will be given priority for internship and job opportunities from Qorvo and NIC's leading partner companies in the integrated circuit design field.

Speaking at the event, Minister Nguyen Chi Dung stated that the NIC's collaboration with Qorvo Corporation in organizing the opening ceremony not only marks the beginning of the integrated circuit design training program but also represents a significant step forward in Vietnam's journey to gradually master technology in the semiconductor industry. This is an important solution to leverage the breakthrough in the value of Vietnamese people in the socio-economic development strategy.

Qorvo is a leading global supplier of semiconductor chips for power and connectivity solutions, with some component manufacturing located in Vietnam.
