Local know-how
What to know before you go
Engineering and manufacturing in Vietnam
Much of Vietnam's electronics manufacturing is in the north. Provinces near Hanoi, such as Bac Ninh, Thai Nguyen and Hai Phong, are known for electronics factories, and Hai Phong's port helps with exports. Many factories there belong to international groups, so engineering work often involves quality standards, process improvement and supply chains as well as product design.
If you are thinking about Hanoi, that tells you what the local engineering scene looks like. Ho Chi Minh City and the provinces around it in the south are another large manufacturing area. As an intern, you might help with documentation, testing data or supplier tracking, and some roles are closer to production than others. Your exact tasks depend on your host company. Ask your career advisor whether site visits are possible.

FAQ
Questions interns ask
Do I need an engineering degree for an engineering internship in Vietnam?
A degree helps for technical roles, but students, graduates and career changers are all welcome, with or without a degree. Tell us your background and we'll look for the closest match.
Will I work in a factory or an office?
It depends on your host company. Some roles are office- or lab-based, with site visits where the company allows them.
