Baby Boomers are now reaching retirement age at the rate of 10,000 every day. This trend is having a serious impact on the IT industry, as many "mainframers" are retiring at a rapid rate putting mainframe environments at risk. At the same time, many Millennial employees are entering the IT workforce. These changes present mainframe leaders with unprecedented challenges, especially in their mainframe operations, which still run critical applications in industries such as finance, insurance and healthcare.
You’ll learn more about the IT workforce challenges organizations are facing and strategies CIOs are implementing to meet these challenges, including Millennial recruiting, hiring and retention, and including observations from a Millennial "mainframer".-Ken Harper-Ensono
