To gain an edge in the blockchain sector, Vietnam is in full swing to boost human resources in this sector, according to local media outlet Viet Nam News.

Phạm Văn Huy, CEO of blockchain company MoonLab, noted:

“The shortage of human resources in this field is completely unavoidable both in Vietnam and internationally.”

He added:

“It is extremely difficult to recruit human resources who specialize 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.”

Therefore, Vietnamese engineers and programmers are encouraged to venture into the field of blockchain because they can flexibly switch to Internet learning and self-exploration.

For example, by having the right staff trained to create blockchain-based smart contracts, Vietnam will be in a position to meet the needs of the market.

Huy Nguyen, Co-Founder of KardiaChain, Blockchain, stated:

“We need to pay more attention to deep development than just surface development. If it can solve the problems at the root, Vietnam can easily meet the needs of the market in the next five to 10 years and help Blockchain become a widely used technology here.”

Nguyen added that for Vietnam to be a blockchain hub, staff training needs to be done from the bottom level up.

Companies, universities and research centers should also devise plans to train staff from the basic level. Nguyen stated:

“There should also be good quality short-term blockchain courses for those who intend to change industries, understand it in a short time, making the transition between peers more flexible.”

Meanwhile, experts in Vietnam recently highlighted that raising awareness of blockchain technology through regulatory frameworks, successful applications, and education would increase adoption.
