University Training in Response to the Requirements of Industry 4.0

Abstract

In the context of Industry 4.0, university training is supposed to provide learners with the qualities and skills necessary to live and work in the digital environment. A relatively new issue for Vietnamese universities is how to train human resources to meet the requirements of working in the digital environment. In order to meet the training requirements, many difficulties are posed, ranging from awareness and identification of the elements of citizens' digital competence to technical infrastructure, training programs, and pressure on lecturers and managers. The article introduces digital competence and the digital capacity frameworks for citizens and for students based on existing studies. It thereby assesses the common difficulties and challenges of higher education and proposes a number of solutions to train human resources to work in the digital environment. This immediately aims to implement the Prime Minister's Decision No. 749/QD-TTg approving the "National Digital Transformation Program until 2025, with orientations until 2030".
