Intel Vietnam launches study abroad program

Intel Products Vietnam Friday announced in Ho Chi Minh City the launch of its US$2 million Vietnam Study Abroad Program.

The program aims to provide scholarships to 40 top Vietnamese engineering students to study at Portland State University in Oregon, the US for the academic years 2009- 2011.

The 40 students will be selected from six technical universities in Hanoi, HCMC, Da Nang and brought back to strengthen the Intel Vietnam workforce after graduation.

In 2006, Intel announced a record investment of $1 billion in Vietnam for its largest Assembly and Test (A/T) factory which is currently under construction in District 9, HCMC.

The facility is expected to employ approximately 4,000 workers and is the seventh assembly and test site in Intel’s global network.
