TenPoint7 Announces Partnership with Vietnam’s John von Neumann Institute to Train & Prepare Tomorrow’s Data Scientists

We’re happy to announce today that TenPoint7 has entered a partnership with the prestigious John von Neumann Institute (JVN) of Viet Nam National University, Ho Chi Minh City.

This partnership not only aims to prepare students for the significant upcoming global shortage of data science jobs but will also address some of the current unfilled needs of enterprises looking to make data driven decisions.

As part of this partnership, we are also excited to announce the addition of Prof. Dr. Duong Nguyen Vu, Director, John von Neumann Institute to TenPoint7 as Advisor.

Working closely with JVN leadership, TenPoint7 will help supplement new curricula providing students with relevant domain knowledge and IT skills critical for data intensive careers.

For example, JVN is launching a new post-graduate program in Data Science and analytics that will provide already highly skilled baccalaureate students with industry-specific skills to capitalize on big data for competitive advantage, and subsequently build a sophisticated workforce in Vietnam.

“We are honored and excited to be partnering with the prestigious John von Neumann Institute, Viet Nam National University HCMC, ” says John Song, Managing Partner, TenPoint7. “We are completely aligned with Director Vu Duong’s vision that the people are Vietnam’s greatest asset. Moving forward, we will work together to address the ever-growing shortage in Data Science skills throughout the world. This in turn will make Vietnam’s talent pool more relevant, valuable and accessible to the global work force.”

The explosion of big data has created transformational opportunities with sophisticated data analytics becoming a key priority for organizations around the globe. To embrace this growing opportunity, companies today need to hire a workforce with a broad range of statistical and domain expertise.

“This strategic partnership is innovative not only in the way it was conceived, but also innovative in the way that real-world business problems will

be integrated into our classroom teaching and laboratory research,” says Prof. Dr. Duong Nguyen Vu, Director, John von Neumann Institute. “With this partnership, we can open the door to more students to access the Data Science education we provide, and to contribute to the growth of data-centered applications that in turn drives sustainability of a knowledge-based global economy. We are excited that this dream has come true thanks to the vision of TenPoint7 founders, John Song & Shane Rai.”

Working closely together, JVN and TenPoint7 will seek to enhance the new Data Science Master program by equipping students with big data and analytics domain expertise through real world projects sourced from the U.S. Offering such a major in data science will essentially data-enable the high caliber JVN students for career success.

“Between 2012 and 2022, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected a faster-than-average increase in employment opportunities for computer and information research scientists in the U.S. alone,” says Shane Rai, Co-Founder, TenPoint7. “Even though numerous surveys today indicate that enterprises see the value of being data driven, yet only a handful of their leadership believe they are

equipped to deal with this.  It is therefore crucial that academia and industry partner together and help address this shortage. TenPoint7 is fortunate to partner with the John von Neumann Institute and work closely with Prof. Vu and his high caliber team.”
