What does the Faculty of Information Technology of Dai Nam University do to train human resources to meet business needs?

With the policy of promoting cooperation in training high-quality Information Technology (IT) human resources, meeting the requirements of enterprises, students graduating from school have jobs in their major with high income; in recent years, Dai Nam University has continuously expanded cooperation with enterprises, innovated training programs in line with trends and "orders" of enterprises, and improved the qualifications of the University's teaching staff.

What do businesses need from IT human resources?

The 4.0 Industrial Revolution has a qualitative change when combining the real world, the virtual world and the biological world with outstanding technologies such as: Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Services (IoS), Robotics, Big Data, Block Chain... creating a smart production environment. IT businesses must also transform themselves to suit that trend to survive and develop.

The requirements for recruiting IT personnel in enterprises are therefore more stringent. Accordingly, students who want to "stand firm" in the IT industry must meet the following criteria: good expertise, solid skills, responsible, good working attitude, able to start working immediately without spending much time on retraining; keeping up with the development trends of the times to self-train and improve their expertise and skills.
