Further discussing at the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Dang Hoai Bac highlighted that PTIT, as a dynamic and innovative university, has piloted semiconductor-related facilities and is committed to working closely with KCCI to develop specialized training programs that combine technical knowledge with professional skills and Korean workplace culture.

According to the plan, the program will cover a full cycle of activities, from curriculum development and candidate selection to training implementation and job placement support. Each year, approximately 30 high-quality engineers are expected to be trained, with opportunities to work in South Korea under the E-7-1 visa scheme, offering international career prospects with competitive income.

At the end of the program, the KCCI delegation visited PTIT’s facilities, including a campus tour and technology laboratories, particularly those related to semiconductor research. The visit provided KCCI with a clearer understanding of PTIT’s training and research capabilities.
