To meet workforce goals in the semiconductor industry, the Vietnamese Government has outlined seven key tasks, including mechanisms to enhance collaboration among government entities, educational institutions, and businesses. Scholarships will prioritize students in semiconductor training programs offered by higher education institutions.
The central budget will fund the investment, construction, upgrading, and modernization of four shared semiconductor laboratories at the National Innovation Center, Vietnam National University – Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and Danang.
Funding for the program will be sourced from the State budget, including both central and local allocations, as well as investments and donations from businesses, organizations, individuals, and other legal sources.
