This is also an opportunity for us to review and promote training policies, foster skills, develop strong human resources, and contribute to building a knowledge-based, sustainable, and internationally integrated economy.
In the article “Vietnam is one, the Vietnamese people are one” on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day, General Secretary To Lam said that the new era we are entering - with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, digital transformation, green economy and sustainable development - requires new thinking, new development models, and new people.
Recently, the Politburo issued Resolution 57-NQ/TW - identifying science, technology, innovation and digital transformation as the leading breakthroughs to promote national development. In that context, building a high-quality workforce that is both knowledgeable about technology, has a data management mindset, and is capable of organizing and implementing digital transformation has become an urgent requirement, which can be considered a new driving force for the country.
According to experts, the key role of two core technologies, semiconductors and AI, in global development has been clearly identified as factors shaping the future of humanity. Vietnam is facing a great opportunity to participate deeply in the technology value chain, thanks to its advantages in human resources and strong support policies.
Vietnam has great potential to participate deeply in the global value chain thanks to its young workforce and the growing presence of large corporations. Vietnam is also facing great opportunities in the global semiconductor revolution.
However, the biggest challenge facing Vietnam today is the shortage of high-quality human resources. According to calculations, Vietnam needs to train 50,000-100,000 semiconductor engineers to meet development needs. The government has also issued two strategic decisions to promote the development of the semiconductor industry and train high-quality human resources for this industry.
Our country's labor force is estimated to reach 53.2 million people by 2025, with a positive structural shift; the proportion of agricultural laborers has decreased sharply to 25.8%; the quality of human resources has continuously improved with 70% of workers having received training.
We have focused on developing high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of the fourth industrial revolution in key areas such as semiconductor industry, AI, information technology; initially forming a workforce with increasingly advanced digital thinking and digital skills. But that is not enough, we need to accelerate the training of high-quality technology human resources.
More than ever, the connection between universities - businesses - Government in developing human resources in the semiconductor industry needs to be strengthened. Strengthen practical training programs, connect with the world's major technology centers to shorten the gap with developed countries. Human resource training to meet the technological revolution and digital transformation must be linked to business reality to shorten the gap between training and the labor market.
To make a breakthrough in the technology era, Vietnam must start with its people - with well-trained engineers who are ready to integrate and master core technology.
