On December 19, the pace and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT) announced the decisions to establish and launch the Intensive Artificial Intelligence Training Center and the Intensive Semiconductor microchip Training Center.
The launch of two specialized training centers is a strategic step of PTIT to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in the development of science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation.
Resolution 57 clearly identified the requirement to build capacity to master strategic technologies, in which AI and semiconductor microchip technology play a fundamental role, while emphasizing the responsibility of key higher education institutions in training high-quality human resources and forming specialized training and research centers.
Associate Professor, Dr. Dang Hoai Bac - Director of PTIT - said that in the context of global strategic competition in technology, mastering AI and semiconductor microchips is not only a requirement for economic development, but also associated with ensuring economic security, digital sovereignty and national technological autonomy.
PTIT oriented that training centers specializing in AI and semiconductor microchips will focus on in-depth training, retraining and improving skills for students, engineers and human resources working in spearhead technology fields.
The two centers aim to implement training programs associated with practical needs of businesses, enhance learning through projects, laboratories and industrial problems; at the same time, promote applied research, technology transfer and international cooperation.
At the launching ceremony, Dr. Chu Van Ben - Head of the In-depth Semiconductor microchip Training Center - assessed that semiconductor microchips are the "heart" of the 4.0 industrial revolution and Vietnam can completely become an important link in the global supply chain. However, to achieve that, training high-quality human resources must go hand in hand with research, application, cross-sectoral cooperation and business connections.
He believes that each student who completes the course from the center will have valuable knowledge and skills, ready to participate in advanced chip projects and the high-tech labor market.
