We have an immediate paid training and job opportunity for mainframe software administrators with a Fortune 500 company for individuals open to relocating. Apply before the application window closes on February 28, 2025!

Don't have experience with mainframe yet? No worries! Selected candidates will participate in a 12-month paid training and residency program. The immersive, comprehensive training curriculum spans 6 months, starting at $22.50/hour full-time.

After relocating across the US, based on location, candidates will participate in a 6-month residency, receiving on-the-job mentorship and earning $25.00/hour full-time. Successful candidates will convert to permanent employment with the company, accompanied by a salary increase and a $5,000 completion bonus.

For many companies, their technical architecture is dependent on mainframe systems. However, most colleges no longer teach mainframe development, and many developers are retiring. Gaining mainframe experience can get you on the road to a high-paying, secure career. Would you like to learn more about this opportunity? Join us for a virtual info session about this program!
