The company targets over $25 billion in semiconductor revenue and a workforce of more than 50,000 engineers and university graduates.

How are they going to create the skilled workforce? 50k doesn't seem like a small number. Also, are those additional or so they include existing engineers in that number?

I feel like in order to achieve that, they'd have to pump a lot of money into education and make it mostly free in order to attract all those people. Does Vietnam even that many graduates (in any discipline) in a year?

IMO this is one of the most crucial elements. These people are kind of the engine of the entire operation. Without skilled workers, these kinds of plans might be quite meaningless...
