I am interested in learning how IT teams are attracting new mainframe talent in their organizations as seasoned professionals retire. Do you cross-train employees from within the company so legacy knowledge isn't lost or have you partnered with any groups or local colleges to offer apprenticeships? Please share what has worked well for you aside from the usual job fairs and online postings.
