The Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group on February 12 announced the launch of Viettel Digital Talent and Viettel Future Changemakers, two initiatives designed to identify, train and develop talent for key technology sectors.
Viettel Digital Talent is a six month training and internship programme for students in technology, science and engineering. In 2026, it will focus on eight strategic fields including cloud computing, cybersecurity, data science and artificial intelligence, semiconductor engineering, 5G technology, software engineering, the Internet of Things and aerospace.
Participants will take part directly in Viettel’s research and development projects, with outstanding trainees offered official positions upon completion.
Viettel Future Changemakers targets experienced professionals and aims to develop management talent in digital product management, technology project management and supply chain management.
The nine month programme supports career transitions from technical roles to leadership positions through training in systems thinking and hands on participation in Viettel’s strategic projects. Graduates may assume management or expert roles across Viettel’s member units.
Viettel said both programmes differ from conventional internship or management trainee schemes as they are designed and implemented internally, integrating structured training with real world assignments within a global technology group. Participants are tasked with addressing major challenges linked directly to the group’s research, production and business operations.
According to organisers, the initiatives are intended not only to meet Viettel’s workforce needs but also to help build a core talent pool for Vietnam’s strategic technology sectors, enabling young professionals to take on responsibility and generate tangible social value.
Registration is open until March 15, 2026, via the online portal at tuyendung.viettel.vn/viettel-talent-2026. Viettel will also host a career webinar and orientation workshops at universities in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to introduce its core technology areas and career pathways.
Launched in 2021, Viettel Digital Talent has received more than 12,000 applications over five seasons, with nearly 1,200 interns participating and over 400 recruited as official employees. About 40 per cent of initiatives developed through the programme have been applied in practice.
Viettel Future Changemakers has attracted nearly 3,000 applications over two seasons, including candidates with experience at major domestic and international corporations, with several trainees advancing to key positions within the group.
