Building a Global Hub for Semiconductor Human Resources: The Phenikaa Group’s Role in Vietnam

The semiconductor industry is rapidly growing, and with it comes the need for skilled human resources. A recent conference organized by Phenikaa Group, in collaboration with Synopsys Corporation and Arizona State University, highlighted the importance of training in meeting this demand. Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha emphasized the crucial role of human resources in the competitiveness of products and manufacturers in the industry.

Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung also spoke at the conference, emphasizing the need to build Vietnam into a global human resource center for the semiconductor industry. To achieve this, he stressed the importance of attracting investment in research, design, production, packaging, and testing of semiconductor chips in Vietnam. He also emphasized the importance of quickly responding to labor needs, skilled human resources, and STEM human resources to build the semiconductor industry in Vietnam.

Phenikaa Group has taken action to meet this need by establishing a center to train microchip human resources through their subsidiary Phenikaa Semiconductor Company (S-Phenikaa). Their goal is to train thousands of chip design engineers and technicians with international certificates to meet the industry’s human resource needs. They have also introduced the IC design major into the regular university training program to promote research, development, and design of advanced chips.

The government is also focused on building the Semiconductor Industry Development Strategy and Human Resource Training Project to create a team of high-quality human resources with expertise in semiconductor ICs. Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha highlighted the importance of forecasting and evaluating market demand at each stage of
