Digital transformation is a revolution of change rather than a revolution of technology. Therefore, if digital transformation wants to be successful, the decision is that the leader wants to change.

Human resource training is considered one of the pillars of the development of the semiconductor industry. To soon achieve the goal of having 50,000 engineers for the semiconductor industry by 2030, many experts believe that ministries, branches, localities, investment promotion units must quickly take action and promote the connection of three "houses": the State, schools, and businesses.

The joint training model among 3 parties (State, school, enterprise) can train about 540 microchip design engineers/year. If this model is replicated at 10 training facilities and localities, each year it will be possible to train more than 5,000 quality microchip design engineers.
