Master the Mainframe is here with us, thanks to IBM students have yet another chance to prove their capability. The company has unveiled the competition in Kenya to allow the Kenyan students to showcase their talent and explore future employment possibilities.  

Through the contest, students learn everything from how to log onto mainframe environments to developing code and problem solving.

The master mainframe competition has no limitations as it is open to students from all Kenyan universities, has already attracted entries from students at local universities.

As a three-part contest which is taking place in a number of countries, Master the Mainframe serves as an introduction to programming and application development and students require no initial mainframe experience to participate.

“Mainframes have always been at the center of the global economy as well as the backbone of most cities infrastructures. Today, mainframes are growing in popularity as technology evolves, demanding more open, scalable and secure solutions and platforms for cloud, mobile and big data analytics,” said Felix Orondo, Team Leader for the Master the Mainframe initiative in Kenya.

The fact that 90 percent of the world’s data has been developed over the past few years will mean that advanced systems such as the mainframe continue to be critical tools of success for businesses, especially for those in growth markets such as Kenya.
