Samsung launches training program to aid Vietnam's 50,000 semiconductor talent goal – Theinvestor.vn
Samsung Vietnam and the National Innovation Center (NIC) jointly launched the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) 2023-2024, a technological talent training program, at the NIC facility in Hanoi on Friday.
The move is part of the cooperation between Samsung Vietnam and the NIC, per an agreement signed in October 2023, for education and high-technology training for the Vietnamese young generation.
It is also Samsung’s efforts to help the Vietnamese government reach the goal of training 50,000-100,000 semiconductor engineers by 2030.
SIC 2023-2024 offers two courses each on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Big Data, for about 200 students from Vietnam National University and FPT University, the top ones in technology in Vietnam.
SIC also has training courses for trainers, designed by Samsung experts, in order to enhance the teaching capacities of Vietnamese trainers.
The courses, featuring Korean language programs, are set to take place in May-August this year. Outstanding learners can then join internships and have employment opportunities at Samsung’s research and development center in Vietnam.
Opening the event, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc appreciated Samsung’s determination in pushing innovation and high-tech capacities of Vietnamese young people. The cooperation between Samsung and the NIC can help train Vietnamese young generations in line with the Industry 4.0, she added.
Speaking at the event, Samsung Vietnam CEO Choi Joo Ho said Samsung expects to reap strong outcomes from the training program, and the cooperation between businesses and training centers would become an exemplary model in Vietnam.
Samsung started the SIC program in 2019 and has expanded the program to 36 countries, such as the U.S., Germany, Spain, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The Vietnamese edition was kicked off in 2019. After five years in Vietnam, the program has trained nearly 6,500 trainers and learners in the country.
In January 2024, Samsung Vietnam CEO Choi Joo Ho affirmed that Samsung’s investments in Vietnam would focus on the supporting industry, workforce training, cooperation with the NIC, and the establishment of smart factories.
