Sent on behalf of the UK GSE Mainframe Skills & Learning Group to both IBM-MAIN and IBMTCP-L so apologies if you see this twice.
Please address any replies direct to Ian Skellern. The GSE Mainframe Skills & Learning Group are currently working very closely with the University of Bedfordshire to try and exploit the Apprenticeship Levy in order to create a UK BSc (Hons) Apprenticeship Degree in Mainframe in time for the start of next Academic year in Sept 2017. In order to ensure the success of this initiative (and to make it a reality), I am also looking around the Mainframe community to try and gauge interest and, hopefully, secure commitment from other companies , There is a minimum number of companies that have to commit to taking Apprentices to make into a reality. Assuming that you have similar issues around Mainframe succession planning as most other companies - is this initiative something that you would be interested in (or alternatively put me into contact with someone who may be) ? We are still very much in the planning stage so it is also an opportunity for you to help to shape the Apprenticeship degree Please feel free to contact GSE MS&L chairman, Ian Skellern ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) for more details or alternatively if you are able to attend GSE on the 2nd November, this will effectively be the theme of Mainframe Skills & Learning stream.
