IBM Z ISV 21CS is serious about developing the next generation of talent for the platform.

"Everyone I've met within the mainframe community has welcomed us with open arms," says 21CS's Josh Stiles. "They want to see the younger generation succeed and have the skills necessary to continue to progress in their career."

21CS's Chris Hartley adds, "If you're thinking about a career in tech and you want to make sure that you know you can get a job and get the experience you need, getting onto the mainframe is both a great way to get that experience, and it has great long-term career options as well. They're willing to take you on and teach you everything that you need to know to be successful."

In this episode of Futurum Live! From the Show Floor, Stephen Dickens talks to recent 21CS hires Josh Stiles and Chris Hartley about how both of them came to the industry, how their careers have advanced by working at 21CS, and their advice for new IT graduates looking to enter the industry. 

It's well worth a watch!
