In Vietnam, the program is increasingly affirming its strong attraction to the young generation who love technology and innovation. In 2026, the SIC program attracted over 7,000 students to register nationwide. After a serious capacity assessment process, only about 2,200 students were selected to participate in the training. At ICTU alone, nearly 600 students registered to participate and up to 340 students were admitted, an increase of more than 2 times compared to the previous year. This is a result showing that the competitive capacity, learning spirit and aspiration to conquer technology of ICTU students are increasingly outstanding.
