Vietnam targets to have 100,000 ICT graduates annually in 2030-2035 period
By 2030, Vietnam plans to expand STEM education significantly, with a strong emphasis on fundamental sciences, digital technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and biotechnology.
Under the Project on Training Human Resources for the Development of High Technology for the Period 2025–2035 and Orientation Towards 2045, approved by Prime Ministerial Decision No.1002/QD-TTg, signed by Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long on May 24, Vietnam aims to produce approximately 100,000 graduates annually in the 2030-2035 period from information and communications technology (ICT) training programs, with at least 15% attaining master's or doctoral degrees.
Looking ahead to 2045, Vietnam envisions a highly skilled and high-quality STEM workforce, strengthening its strategic competitive advantage in attracting investment in high-tech industries.
The Project seeks to cultivate a robust STEM workforce, particularly fostering top talent capable of driving research and innovation in strategic and advanced technologies.
By 2030, Vietnam plans to expand STEM education significantly, with a strong emphasis on fundamental sciences, digital technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and biotechnology. The proportion of students enrolled in STEM disciplines is expected to reach 35% at each level of education, with at least 2.5% pursuing fundamental sciences and 18% specializing in digital technology-related fields.
Each year, 80,000 students are expected to graduate in ICT, with at least 10% earning advanced degrees in engineering, master's, or Ph.D. programs, according to the project.
