We welcome our new student Steven!
Educating our Veterans and our young adults in Mainframe Computers:
"MAINFRAMES DON'T DIE, BECAUSE THEY MULTIPLY"
Mainframe computer training for veterans and minorities
Our Goal
Our mission is to bring the world of MAINFRAME COMPUTING to Veterans and under represented youth and young adults. These highly desirable skills should make them 'sought after job candidates' in the mainframe job market. Giving them the ability to 'substantially' better their lives as well as their family's lives forever.

Our mission is to bring the world of MAINFRAME COMPUTING to Veterans and under represented youth and young adults. These highly desirable skills should make them 'sought after job candidates' in the mainframe job market. Giving them the ability to 'substantially' better their lives as well as their family's lives forever.
- Why? Because mainframe personnel are retiring at a record pace, and these companies will need new personnel with some Mainframe experienced, and they will need them NOW!
- Why? Mainframe Computing is not a standard computing course in most Colleges and Universities.
- Why? Mainframes are unique computers, they are different from any other computer that students have ever touched!
- What is our goal? Job placement and the start of a new career! That's how we measure success.
Our Approach
Our Goal at Mainframe Mentors (MfM) is to Identify IT minded students who are interested or curious about mainframe computers. We Partner with the IT training powerhouse's PROTECT TRAINING and IBM Z-XPLORE our students have access to a mainframe or mainframe 'like' tools, with online books available. If needed we can then assigned a SME

We Partner with the IT training powerhouse's PROTECT TRAINING and IBM Z-XPLORE our students have access to a mainframe or mainframe 'like' tools, with online books available. If needed we can then assigned a SME (Subject Matter Expert) for questions.
Once their Mainframe path is started we will help guide them through books, in class room presentation (when possible), and online presentations by our mainframe SME's (Subject Matter Experts). Mainframe Mentors will help students get registered and started in IBM's Z-Xplore ' classes to help thems tart their Mainframe IBM Badge quest.
- Mainframe Mentor's will also touch on some non mainframe subjects to better prepare our students, in area's such as:
- Time Management, Project Management, working in a team environment, working in the 'Mainframe Culture', and Culture Diversity in the mainframe environment.

Mainframe Mentors was a presenter at one of Brookdale Community College's ‘Minority Male Initiative‘ Conference. We presented "Mainframes, what a great career choice" it was well received by the student audience.
- MfM will be seeking funds to help train 2 students in mainframes and hopefully we can come up with some sort of internships for these two hard working individuals.
