Mainframe skills are in demand.  As ISVs implement AI, modernize applications, and focus on digital transformation, IBM Z talent is more important than ever. Some 79% of mainframe organizations are currently hiring mid-career professionals, and 51% are recruiting entry-level positions.

To refine the search, IBM recently introduced the Mainframe Skills Council, a forum where global organizations foster a diverse, sustainable workforce for the IBM Z platform. The council includes organizations spanning IBM clients, IBM partners, academia, user groups, non-profits, and open communities that will collaborate to implement mainframe skills-development solutions.

Now is a great time to get involved! Join IBM Z Global Skills Leader Shelly Meierarend as we discuss the many ways ISVs can help skill-up the talent pool and develop the next generation of mainframe talent.
