Digital workforce development at Phan Thiet University: Current status and solutions

Developing a digital workforce is an urgent requirement for higher education institutions in the context of digital transformation. This study examines the theoretical foundations and assesses the current state of digital workforce development at Phan Thiet University. The findings indicate that the university has achieved positive results in strengthening digital competencies and implementing digital transformation. However, limitations remain in digital infrastructure, technology application capabilities, and collaboration with enterprises. Based on these findings, the study proposes solutions to improve digital competencies among lecturers, administrators, and staff, strengthen technology infrastructure, enhance cooperation with businesses, and support the modernization of teaching and university governance. These measures aim to develop a digital workforce capable of meeting the requirements of higher education innovation and long-term institutional development.
