Are you interested in pursuing a systems administration career? Are you someone that has a foundational understanding of systems administration, but want to take a less traditional path to achieve it?

As a Mainframe System Administrator at IBM, you’ll work with other System Administrators, Systems Programmers, network, and application teams to perform daily activities ranging in complexity and will be responsible for the installation, configuration, upkeep, and reliable operation of one or more client environments.  You may also work closely with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to customize application solutions and tools to help improve the value of the z Systems platform to our clients.

Throughout your apprenticeship, you’ll work as part of a diverse team to support our clients as they use our systems to outthink the competition.  You’ll learn the fundamentals of mainframe computing, and will master skills like: deploying and managing operating systems, implementing monitoring, configuration management, and reporting, executing change management, implementing system security, coding JCL and writing simple REXX programs.  

Our apprenticeship program will give you the opportunity to build your skills to grow your career as a Mainframe System Administrator.
