Semiconductor major Infineon looks for Vietnamese talent to work in Germany

Infineon Technologies AG, a global leader in semiconductor solutions for power systems and the internet of things, is looking for Vietnamese talent to join the company at the company’s headquarters in Germany.

Thanh Long, founder and CEO of GEDU International GmbH, and Raik Brettschneider, vice president and CEO of Infineon Technologies Dresden, signed last Saturday a letter of intent to collaborate on recruiting young Vietnamese talent to work at Infineon’s headquarters in Dresden town, Saxony state, Germany.

The partnership will support a dual training program as well as the direct recruitment of skilled workers by Infineon.

The letter of intent highlights the importance of joint efforts in training and further education to meet future demands for skilled workers.

“This is a significant development as it enables us to engage in labor cooperation at a much higher technological level. The two governments are also working to build a new labor cooperation framework to support projects like this," said Vietnamese ambassador to Germany Vu Quang Minh.

Thanh Long, founder and CEO of GEDU International GmbH said, "We are excited to partner with Infineon to help skilled Vietnamese workers fully integrate into German society and pursue long-term careers after successful training."

Infineon’s Brettschneider said: “With the expansion of our Dresden site, we are creating new job opportunities crucial for producing advanced semiconductor chips. We have increased the number of trainees significantly in recent years and expect to recruit many trainees internationally moving forward.

“Collaborations like the one with GEDU are vital for integrating our future employees. After three years of training and working with us, trainees not only graduate but also embark on stable career paths."

Currently, Infineon Dresden has 3,700 job openings, many in cutting-edge technologies, including microtechnology specialists.

The signing followed a state visit to Vietnam by Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, accompanied by Federal Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Hubertus Heil, in January 2024. Among the key topics discussed during the visit were economic cooperation and the recruitment of Vietnamese skilled workers for the German labor market.

GEDU, with over a decade of experience in recruiting and training skilled Vietnamese workers for Germany, supports both interns and skilled workers throughout the recruitment and integration process. With offices and training facilities in both Vietnam and Germany, it has placed over 1,000 interns and experts in Germany.
