Technology moves at the speed of innovation and the importance of timely, diverse, accessible education is increasingly critical. In the Mainframe Community, education needs to continue to evolve with the continued modernization on the z/OS platform combined with the ebb and flow of a changing workforce. The Mainframe Open Education (MOE) Project will address the industry pain point by providing a platform for social learning, education created for the community by the community. MOE is bringing together members of the diverse Mainframe community to learn from each other through observation, collaboration, and interaction. Join us to hear more about this movement from the perspective and experience of various community members, including interns, partners, and subject matter experts.
