Mainframe Software Administrators Training

Launch your career as a Mainframe Software Administrator through a paid training program that leads to a full-time job opportunity with a Fortune 500 company. This opportunity is open to U.S. citizens willing to relocate.

Mainframe systems power many of the world’s largest and most trusted organizations, running the critical operations we rely on every day. Learning mainframe technology can open the door to a stable, in-demand career with strong long-term earning potential.

Whether you’re a recent college graduate, a self-taught technologist, or making a career change, LaunchCode can help you take the next step. We’re currently seeking entry-level Mainframe Software Administrators who enjoy working from the command line, have some familiarity with Unix or Linux, and are excited to learn and grow in mainframe development.
