Mainframe masters

With mainframes storing a significant portion of the world’s data and acting as the backup system for most businesses, mainframe coders are in high demand. Master the Mainframe is a virtual coding competition sponsored by the IBM Z Academic Initiative in which high school and college students put their mainframe-specific programming skills to the test tackling real-world problems. This year, college student Anna McKee made history as the first woman to win the competition. The competition gives employers a firsthand look at some of the best young coders out there, and helps companies connect with––and hire––talented students via a new program called Talent Match.
