This year, for the first time, IBM is running the Master the
Mainframe Contest for university students across Australia.
No experience with mainframes is necessary. In fact, the contest is
designed for students with little or no mainframe experience,
increasing with difficulty as the contest progresses. Students only need
motivation and a competitive spirit to
compete.

handle an estimated 70 percent of all business data and are used by the
vast majority of Fortune 500 companies.
Exciting and great-paying jobs in many of the Fortune 1000 companies
are becoming available. They want you!
