Abstract:

This article researches the current situation of human resources in the semiconductor industry in Vietnam and lessons on policies to solve the problem of human resource shortage in Taiwan. The current situation of human resources in the semiconductor industry in Vietnam is analyzed through a synthesis of articles and reports related to the current situation of the semiconductor industry, especially the industry's human resources. Research results show that the shortage of human resources in the semiconductor chip manufacturing industry is a difficult problem for countries around the world. Great powers like the US and leading countries in the industry like Taiwan and Vietnam are facing a shortage of human resources. The reason is that the semiconductor industry requires highly qualified human resources, but in reality, although the quality of training in Vietnam has achieved significant achievements, many limitations still exist. Training programs, professional qualifications, facilities... On the other hand, the article analyzes the current situation of human resources in the semiconductor industry in Taiwan through a case study of TMSC company - the leading corporation in Taiwan and the world in the semiconductor industry, thereby providing some experiences for Vietnam, including: Focusing on training and attracting high-quality human resources, creating favorable conditions and environment for FDI investors, implementing specialization... Based on that basis, the research team offers a number of policy implications to solve the problem of human resource shortage in the semiconductor industry in Vietnam.
