The ''huge'' demand for human resources in the Semiconductor Technology industry

The huge demand for human resources in the Semiconductor Technology industry is one of the reasons why this major is "sought after" in the 2024 university admission season. It is forecast that in the next 5 years, Vietnam will need about 20,000 qualified people. University or higher for Semiconductor Technology. Pursuing this major, students are completely assured of "getting a job immediately after graduation".

The demand for human resources is "huge" in the Semiconductor Technology industry

The world is "thirsty" for human resources in the semiconductor industry

It is forecasted that the semiconductor industry in the US will have a shortage of 70,000 - 90,000 workers in the coming years.

The Japanese Semiconductor Industry Association predicts that in the next decade, this industry will lack about 1,000 high-quality human resources each year. Meanwhile, the "race" to build semiconductor factories in Japan requires more skilled workers.

To solve the shortage of human resources, the Korean Ministry of Education implemented a "10-year roadmap" for educational institutions to train 150,000 bachelors in the semiconductor industry. Some universities are designated as "semiconductor universities". Each region has its own semiconductor research center and is established in a national network.

The demand for human resources in the semiconductor industry in Vietnam is very large

Vietnam's semiconductor industry is on a strong growth trajectory, attracting many large investment projects from multinational corporations. However, besides the development potential, this industry is also facing major challenges in human resources.

According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, the demand for human resources in Vietnam's semiconductor industry is 5,000 - 10,000 engineers/year, but the ability to meet it is less than 20%. Data from the National Science and Technology Information Portal shows that Vietnam currently has only 5,575 chip design engineers.

According to economic experts' forecasts, the need for human resources in the semiconductor chip industry in the next 5 years will be about 20,000 people and about 50,000 people in the next 10 years, with university degrees or higher.
