A Qualified Human Resources Training Model Through Strategic Technologies
Breaking away from traditional education molds, a new model advocating for the learning of strategic technologies within R&D processes is examined through the examples of China and South Korea.
Moving away from the traditional "learn then do" approach, the "learning by creating technology" model, which trains human resources through the development of strategic technologies, is being discussed. Through university-industry collaboration examples in China and South Korea, it is emphasized that R&D projects create an educational environment for expert teams and qualified students.
Learning by Creating Technology Model
It is stated that the traditional education and employment model is changing through examples such as traffic control centers using artificial intelligence technology. In the new approach, students are directly involved in technology R&D tasks.
Students who solve real-world problems alongside scientists and engineers become human resources proficient in technology. This approach fully aligns with the spirit of Politburo Resolution 57-NQ/TW, which addresses strategic technology development and human resource development in an integrated manner.
Experiences of China and South Korea
The experiences of China and South Korea clearly demonstrate that technology development programs and human resource development programs must no longer be separate tracks.
In China, businesses provide thousands of problems for master's and doctoral students while technical personnel act as mentors. In South Korea, special graduate schools and laboratories based on industry-university cooperation are established under the leadership of the MSIT.
Policy Framework for Vietnam
From the perspective of Vietnam, the strategic technology and product groups determined by the Prime Minister's Decision No. 1131/QD-TTg provide a suitable policy framework for this transformation.
It is recommended that the country concentrate its resources in strong institutions instead of scattered investments, establish joint research, education, and business infrastructures, and transition to task-based education.
