This is an inevitable and important development trend of the IT industry. Especially, when you work in the information technology industry, you have the opportunity to receive an extremely attractive salary and a borderless working environment. This trend will become more and more obvious and will also contribute to making the IT industry a first choice for dynamic young people. However, the development of the IT industry as well as the volatility of the market always requires people who do "information technology" to learn continuously, develop comprehensive skills as well as the ability to quickly adapt to any changes. .”

What opportunities are available to IT students when they graduate in the midst of the crisis Covid-19?

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dang Tran Khanh: “In my opinion, the COVID crisis has almost no impact on the IT industry because the industry's specifics are that it is completely possible to flexibly switch to working remotely (Work from home-WFH), a the trend that domestic and international businesses are now applying on a large scale orworking while traveling (Workation), a new trend that has appeared recently but is equally attractive to talented IT young people. power. The fact shows that IT companies still increase profits and recruit staff regularly. However, it should also be emphasized that the shortage issue here is high-quality personnel, personnel who can work in the IT industry, here I meant to mean quality, not quantity. High-quality IT personnel are always sought after by all large companies and corporations in the world, not only in Vietnam. Therefore, the demand for personnel of this industry is very large. Currently in Vietnam, we are still lacking a lot, from programmers to senior IT personnel.”
