What are the Strengths of Vietnamese Software Developers and Engineers from the Perspective of Quality?

With the spread of smartphones and social networking services, more and more consumers are getting used to digital services as a matter of course, and the need for the development of systems and applications to support these services will continue to increase. The collaboration with foreign software developers and engineers is one of the most promising options to respond to these increasing demands, especially if you are struggling to get engineering resources that your business needs.

As a offshore development and software quality testing company based in Vietnam, we will introduce the characteristics and realities of Vietnamese engineers in this article.

What are the characteristics of Vietnamese engineers?

Based on the basic characteristics of Vietnamese shown above, let’s take a look at the strengths of Vietnamese engineers.

Increasing IT skilled workers as a national policy

Vietnam government set to increase the number of IT skilled workers, including IT engineers, to 1.5 million by 2030. For this reason, the Vietnam government is focusing on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, and coding and IT related-subjects have been introduced from middle school in Vietnam. In addition, in the PISA survey conducted by the OECD in 2015 on scientific literacy in each country and region, Vietnam has been ranked in the top 8 out of 79 countries and regions.

In fact, it is said that the number of students who major in IT and technology-related studies at universities and enter the workforce as engineers is increasing at the level of about 50,000 every year, and the engineering population is steadily expanding at present.

According to the VIETNAM IT MARKET REPORT 2020, which summarizes trends in the Vietnamese IT market, Javascript, Java, PHP, and Python are the popular programming languages used by engineers. In fact, with a population of about 100 million and an average age of 31, Vietnamese engineers are relatively quick to catch up with new technologies that are constantly evolving.
