Vertali announces membership of the Mainframe Skills Council

Vertali is delighted to have been invited to become a member of the Mainframe Skills Council.

In March 2024 IBM launched the Mainframe Skills Council with SHARE and other key organizations to support new generations of mainframe talent and provide a forum where global organizations will foster a skilled, diverse, sustainable workforce for the mainframe platform.

The Council includes organizations spanning IBM clients, IBM partners, academia, user groups, non-profits, and open communities that will collaborate to implement mainframe skills development solutions. Initial members include Academic Mainframe Consortium, Albany State University, Broadcom, DNB Bank, HOGENT, M&T Bank, Northern Illinois University, Rocket Software, SHARE, Vertali and 21CS.

Gary Dulon, Services Delivery Director at Vertali commented, “The growth and success of our industry depends on having the right people, yet the persistent skills shortage affects organizations across an array of sectors, from finance to critical national infrastructure. Vertali, a longstanding advocate for talent development, demonstrated through our work with SHARE and Guide Share Europe, is proud to join the Mainframe Skills Council, where we know together we can achieve more, faster.”
