Mainframe Development Skills 2025 - Beacon of Light or Oncoming Train?

(JP)

Stream: MQ & AppDev II
Time: 14:15 - 15:00


Presentation

We've been talking about an impending mainframe skills crisis since the 90s, yet here we still are, with mainframe systems running the economy.
But as the mainframe world evolves to a multi-skilled hybrid model, and as our most experience talent retires, has the question finally become a crisis?

We look at the realities of application development skills challenges, at the herculean efforts to bolster supply, and how technology is playing its part in helping tackle key technical skills issues - using examples from the industry.
