200,000 chip talent gap
Especially in today's increasingly serious global chip shortage, people are more aware of the importance of chip autonomy. Take the current mobile phone industry as an example. Huamiov's chips mainly come from Qualcomm and MediaTek, and there is almost no other choice. Once the chip shortage is more serious, how should these mobile phone brands handle themselves? As a result, some experts and scholars found that many college students who graduated from China actually became chip experts in the United States after learning the advanced chip technology in the United States.
With the increasing popularity of electronic products, chips have become the core of industry development. Nowadays, mobile phones, televisions, computers and even new energy vehicles used by people need a lot of chips. In the global chip industry, the key to truly test whether a country has mastered chip technology lies in its controllable chip manufacturing capability.
After all, the chip industry is still fighting for talents. Only by continuously investing in research and development can we master more high-end chip technology. According to statistics released by domestic authoritative organizations, by next year, the demand for talents in the domestic chip industry will exceed 760,000 yuan. Although China now has a talent pool of nearly 500,000, the chip industry still lacks 200,000 talents. This also leads to a problem. Although the chip market in China is large, it is difficult for domestic enterprises to really participate because of the lack of talents. In the end, all the profits were taken away by foreign companies.
Top students from China become American chip experts.
In fact, there is a way to make up for the shortage of technical chip talents, but China does lack experts in the field of chips. Because these talents, after studying in the top universities in China, will basically choose to go abroad for further study, and then stay in foreign companies to work and settle down. Throughout the world's leading top chip manufacturers, such as Intel, Qualcomm and other companies, a large number of employees come from China, and they have all been abroad before.
Most of these talents come from well-known universities in China, such as Peking University and Tsinghua, and they can be said to be top students. However, after studying, they did not choose to apply their knowledge to the development of China's chip industry. This is undoubtedly a huge loss, and the founder of Huawei has felt it more than once.
Earlier, Ren said in a public occasion that most of the expensive equipment imported by Huawei from overseas was designed and manufactured by China people themselves. Therefore, since then, he has repeatedly called on chip industry talents who have studied or worked overseas to return to China as much as possible, because the chip industry in China needs them. Although the salary is not as good as that of foreign countries, it will be more motivated to develop its own chip industry after all.
In the past, the reservation of talents at the official level was open. After all, everyone has different wishes and it is not easy to force them. However, this has created a huge talent problem in China. Especially in the field of chips, these talents are eager to try in the face of the olive branch thrown by American companies. In order to solve this problem, the official finally decided to start work.
Official, solve the talent problem.
To develop China's chip industry, it is necessary to retain more talents, which requires domestic enterprises to pay higher salaries. Only these people can stay at home and work in peace. In this regard, the government has also taken practical actions. For example, for talents in the chip industry, government departments will provide employment guidance and work in enterprises as soon as possible. At the same time, in order to reduce the salary burden of enterprises, tax cuts have been made accordingly.
In addition, in terms of personnel training, the government has also formulated a series of policies, such as expanding the university scale of integrated circuits. Previously, universities that had set up integrated circuit colleges included Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. In the future, more colleges and universities will offer such courses. With the gradual increase of enrollment, it is believed that the contradiction between supply and demand of chip talents can be solved.
Of course, we should also learn from countries with developed chip industries, such as the United States. Because the training of talents is not finished, we must introduce foreign talents and find ways to keep them. In this regard, the most experienced is definitely the United States. We have reason to believe that with the strong support of the state and the continuous efforts of universities, the future of China's chip industry will be even better.
