NTTU –  The digital age is opening up a series of opportunities and challenges. In that context, Information Technology (IT) has become the backbone of the future. At Nguyen Tat Thanh University (NTTU), IT students are being trained systematically to keep up with trends, ready to lead digital transformation in the meeting place and in society.

I. WHAT IS THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY?

Information Technology (IT) is a term that includes software, internet networks, computer systems used for data distribution and processing, exchange, storage and use of information in different forms.

In an easier to understand way, Information Technology is the use of modern technology to create, process, transmit, store and exploit information.

Currently, the Information Technology industry is often divided into 5 popular majors: Computer science, computer engineering, information systems, computer networks and communications, and software engineering.

Information technology is almost universally used in the economic sector. The core services to help execute business strategies are: business process automation, information provision, customer engagement and productivity tools.

II. THE DIGITAL AGE IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR, WHO WILL BE THE LEADER?

IT has never been more essential. From small businesses to multinational corporations, from healthcare, education to agriculture and smart cities – everyone is relying on IT for digital transformation. In this context, the need for IT human resources is becoming more urgent.

According to the Ministry of Information and Communications, Vietnam needs more than 150,000 high-quality IT workers each year. However, supply is still not enough to meet demand. This is the time for NTTU IT students to demonstrate their mettle, quickly catch up with trends, and be ready to meet business needs.

According to Mr. Vu Minh Tri - Former General Director of Microsoft Vietnam, currently Chairman of Base.vn: “In the digital age, the one who owns technology is the one who holds the power. The important thing is not only to learn to know, but to learn to master, to lead. Students with innovative thinking, dare to commit and update technology trends will be the pioneering force not only in Vietnam but also in the global market.”

III. THE JOURNEY FROM A STUDENT TO A “DIGITAL WARRIOR”
The Faculty of Information Technology is one of the strong faculties of Nguyen Tat Thanh University, established in 2011. Along with the process of building and developing the University, the Faculty of Information Technology has made great strides, becoming an IT training address that is highly trusted by society for its quality of training combining learning with practice.

With the goal of training and providing the market with high-quality IT human resources, with good knowledge - skills - professional ethics, meeting the requirements of domestic and international enterprises, NTTU Faculty of Information Technology pays special attention to the teaching staff, training programs, investment in practical equipment, training cooperation with enterprises... Specifically:

The Faculty of Information Technology gathers a team of highly qualified permanent and guest lecturers, who are excellent teachers, doctors, masters, and lecturers who have been trained and have experience working at major schools and academies at home and abroad.

Regularly practicing with modern machinery and equipment, NTTU students easily master the processes and operations with specific equipment, thereby gaining a thorough understanding of the profession and at the same time having a strong source of motivation to develop in the future.

The training program of the Faculty is constantly reviewed and updated to suit the development needs of the IT industry in the era of the 4.0 industrial revolution. To meet the demand for recruiting IT workers and the output standards of students, NTTU pays great attention to improving professional skills for students. The school has invested in modern equipment and machinery such as high-configuration computer network practice rooms; high-tech practice rooms and many other practice equipment with a value of up to billions of VND.

NTTU regularly cooperates with businesses to organize seminars, business internships and sign cooperation agreements on recruitment and internships with a variety of domestic and foreign companies and businesses.

Choosing to study IT at NTTU, students have the opportunity to participate in a series of business field trips, recruitment fairs, specialized workshops, large-scale academic playgrounds... to attractive movement activities. These are the typical features that make the difference between NTTU IT and other schools that train in this "trendy" field.

Besides the "academic" playgrounds that regularly take place at NTTU, extracurricular activities are also considered a "specialty" that creates the mark of NTTU students.

In addition to teamwork and communication skills, students also develop the ability to research and experiment on their own to apply technology to meet the practical needs of life.

IV. TECHNOLOGY PASSPORT TO STEP INTO THE GLOBAL FUTURE

Not just a promise, NTTU brings impressive numbers and convincing reality to IT students. According to the school's Career Support Center, up to 95% of IT students have jobs within 6 months of graduation - a rate that shows the close connection between the school and businesses.

Graduates have a starting salary of 10-15 million VND/month, and this number can be higher if they have good foreign language skills or possess international certificates such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Cisco...

Notably, many NTTU alumni are currently working at leading technology corporations such as Google, Amazon Web Services, FPT, Samsung, Vingroup... They are not only engineers, but also project managers, product development team leaders, or even founders of technology startups whose products appear on AppStore, Google Play, attracting hundreds of thousands of downloads.

The project of applying AI to the website to recommend smart tourism in Hue (GoVie) has just won the third prize in the Hue-ICT Challenge – 2023.

As an NTTU student, you can open up many paths: work at large domestic and foreign companies, participate in global internship programs, or start your own business and leave your mark in the technology community.

NTTU not only trains students who are good at coding and making products, but also nurtures the mindset of “mastering technology”, daring to think differently, do differently and create new values. Each student is encouraged to approach technology as a tool to solve practical problems, not simply learning programming or using software. As Dr. Tran Ai Cam – Principal of the school shared: “We want students to be able to solve social problems with technological thinking when they graduate – that is, they must dare to ask questions, dare to experiment, and dare to fail to grow up.”
