Members of the expanding blockchain sector in Vietnam have called on the government and educational institutions to pay more attention to the talent deficit. With the lack of qualified personnel a global challenge, they say the country needs to address the lack of training.
Vietnam is not the only nation looking for blockchain developers with the deficit seen as a common problem for countries like the US, China and India as well. When it comes to the new technology, Vietnam is for the first time in the same situation as these technology hubs, and it is equally understaffed, business leaders told local media.
The scarcity of expertise is inevitable both in Vietnam and internationally, said Pham Van Huy, CEO of Moonlab, a company working on blockchain and metaverse projects. Quoted by the English-language newspaper Vietnam News, he elaborated:
It is extremely difficult to recruit human resources specializing in this field, as blockchain is still quite new and there are no training programs in universities, colleges or even information technology centers in the country.
Huy also noted that if Vietnam wants to become a hub for blockchain talent, in terms of quantity and quality, it is necessary to focus on training at all levels and start a dialogue about the technology between government officials, business owners and managers, as well as employees and students .
Huy also insisted that the country should try to bring back Vietnamese experts who are educated or working abroad with job opportunities and attractive remuneration. The management also emphasized the importance of international cooperation programmes.
The CEO of Moonlab believes that successful blockchain companies need to organize courses for IT students and internships to improve their skills and knowledge of blockchain while offering attractive salaries to those who join their companies.
“Vietnam should soon establish training centers and courses in universities and colleges for this technology industry,” said Phan Duc Trung, vice chairman of the Vietnam Blockchain Association. He added that the organization is currently working to prepare qualified experts who can contribute to blockchain research, testing and deployment.
“It is the first time that Vietnam is in the same starting position with the whole world with a new technology,” commented Huy Nguyen, co-founder of Kardiachain. He is convinced that if the country can tackle the problem at its root, it will be able to meet the needs of the market in the next five to ten years and contribute to wide implementation.
