Educating our Veterans and our youth in Mainframe Computers
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.

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.

- We will help students get registered and started in IBM's 'Master the Mainframe' competition if they so desire and to also expose them to BUILDING SKILLS FOR IBM Z learning, offered by IBM.
- 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.

Brookdale College presentation
Brookdale College presentation
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.
100% of your donations go towards either our students needs or our fundraising efforts, we take no salaries.
