GLA HR – What’s the Solution to the Severe Talent Shortage Amid the Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing Boom in Vietnam?
The semiconductor and electronics components industry is emerging as a key sector in Vietnam's economy, fueled by a sharp rise in foreign direct investment (FDI). Major technology corporations such as Intel, Samsung, Amkor, Foxconn, Wistron, and Pegatron are actively building and expanding their manufacturing facilities across the country. This surge has created an urgent demand for both general labor and highly skilled professionals. However, the current workforce falls short in terms of both quantity and quality needed to meet the industry’s growing requirements.
GLA HR: The Talent Crisis of Engineers in the Electronics Components & Semiconductor Industry – What Are the Solutions?
The semiconductor and electronics components industries are booming in Vietnam, driven by a wave of investment from major corporations such as Intel, Samsung, Amkor, Foxconn, and more recently, Nvidia. However, the rapid expansion of manufacturing facilities has triggered a talent crisis, particularly in the supply of highly skilled engineers. The current workforce can only meet about 20–30% of the demand for electronics and semiconductor manufacturing.
According to HR reports, in the next 2–3 years, recruitment demand in this industry is expected to surge, requiring tens of thousands of employees within the same region. This raises a critical question: Where can companies find candidates to meet such urgent hiring needs?
Efforts and Orientation of GLA HR: Addressing Workforce Challenges in the Electronic Components and Semiconductor Industry.
The electronic components and semiconductor industry is booming in Vietnam, especially with significant investments from major FDI corporations such as Samsung, Intel, Foxconn, Pegatron, and Wistron. This rapid growth has led to a surge in workforce demand, but the current talent supply has yet to catch up. Companies are facing a severe “talent shortage,” particularly in roles requiring high technical expertise, strong foreign language skills, and the ability to work in international environments. Some of the most pressing issues currently being raised include:
Top 5 companies supplying human resources for the electronic components and semiconductor industry in Vietnam
The electronic components and semiconductor industry in Vietnam is growing strongly, attracting billions of dollars from multinational corporations such as Samsung, Intel, Amkor Technology, LG or Nvidia. According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, by 2030, Vietnam needs more than 50,000 high-quality workers in this field. To meet that need, professional human resource supply companies play a key role in solving the industry's "human resource shortage" problem. Below is a list of the most reputable units today:
