An estimated 6,600 students are set to benefit from high-tech skill development through the Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) 2024–2025 project. The program’s structure has been revamped to enhance learning outcomes and better align with implementation realities. For the first time, extracurricular activities such as company tours and final programming assessments will be held to inspire a passion for technology and boost learning motivation among students.
On November 22, 2024, in Hanoi, Samsung Vietnam officially launched the Samsung Innovation Campus 2024–2025, aiming to equip Vietnam’s youth with advanced technological capabilities, empowering them to drive the success of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Vietnam. The event was attended by Mr. Tran Van Dat – Director General, Department of Political Education and Student Affairs, Ministry of Education and Training; Mr. Choi Joo Ho – CEO of Samsung Vietnam; Mr. Kim Yong Sup – Vice President of External Relations, Samsung Vietnam; and Assoc.

Building on past successes, SIC 2024–2025 continues to offer technological capability development courses for youths aged 12–22, covering topics like the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Basic Coding and Programming (C&P), and Soft Skills training.
The program integrates core future-oriented technology skills with practical workplace and soft skills. Training content is tailored based on regional industrial development trends and recruitment demands of leading companies.
Graduates who meet program requirements will receive certification for completing the Samsung Innovation Campus course and gain opportunities to participate in impactful activities such as the Innovation Tech Challenge. This competition, part of the SIC project, allows students to apply their learned skills and knowledge in real-world scenarios.
The SIC 2024–2025 project retains a blended learning model combining online (e-learning) and offline training formats to expand program reach and optimize learning schedules.
This year’s SIC introduces exciting new extracurricular activities, including company tours and end-of-course programming challenges, to ignite students’ passion for technology and foster their learning motivation.
To ensure sustainable implementation, SIC 2024–2025 also includes teacher training sessions designed by leading experts from Samsung and major national universities. These sessions aim to enhance teachers’ professional and pedagogical skills, supporting their real-world teaching processes. Samsung Innovation Campus 2024–2025 is expected to provide advanced technological learning and development opportunities to approximately 6,600 students across Vietnam.
At the event, Mr. Choi Joo Ho, CEO of Samsung Vietnam, remarked: *”The era of advanced technology requires our youth—the leaders of tomorrow—to master cutting-edge technological advancements such as artificial intelligence.
