is sponsored by the . The community partnership focuses on ‘open sourcing’ mainframe learning roadmaps and community knowledge transfer. To make it easier for hiring managers to have access to a plan and co-develop valuable assets – much of it in the minds and archives of our respective organizations.

Vision

The vision of MOE is to build a place for mainframe experts to share and consume the tribal knowledge they gained with years of experience. MOE board of experts will promote submissions within quality standards for the end user - all are cataloged in a consumable roadmap orientation. There are thousands of experts in the market to pass knowledge to the next generation. Join the project to learn about this community partnership and how to participate and contribute.

Mission

The MOE mission is to offer all mainframe users a platform to cultivate skill onboarding that is most critical to future hires and to allow for knowledge sharing and community contribution. We seek to align the best-of-breed foundational curriculum to cultivate new mainframe skills for today's hybrid data center. Specifically, MOE can help with the following aspects:

  • Mainframe eco-system collaboration is designed to support companies as they onboard new mainframe talent.

  • Create a community through shared ownership and a shared platform via the Open Mainframe Project.

  • Encourage market contributions of education assets

  • Ease the Path to obtaining industry-relevant mainframe skills

  • Develop learning roadmaps for job roles on the mainframe

  • Provide business leaders easy access to free foundational education

  • Address the faculty & university awareness gaps with new access to learning curriculum

Content Phases

Here are the five chapters of MOE content currently under development:

Chapter 1 Chapter 1: What is a Mainframe Today?

This chapter introduces what a mainframe is to anyone new to the Mainframe, including the role of the Mainframe today, entities that use the mainframe, and the basic architecture and components of a mainframe.

Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Foundational Technology

Chapter 2 reviews technology training that is important to the path, including z/OS fundamentals, TSO / ISPF, JCL, asset management, etc.

Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Roles in Mainframe

This chapter reviews and describes the different roles one can be working on the Mainframe, including services, developer, etc.

Chapter 4 Chapter 4: Deeper Dive in Role Chosen

Chapter 4 provides learners with in-depth module training based on the role chosen, including hands-on labs, interactive demonstrations, etc.

Chapter 5 Chapter 5: Career Path Opportunities

In this chapter, we delve into offering career and professional development opportunities tailored to mainframers at different experience levels.

We encourage you to contribute to additional chapters to MOE.

The project was designed based on five initial phases. Our goal is to ensure we have the most relevant information organized in a logical and accessible way for the community. This structure is a starting point where the can contribute and collaborate to develop and continuously improve the content library.
