Join Interskill Learning at SHARE in Pittspurgh

Join guest speakers Reg Harbeck and Darren Surch at the SHARE conference on August 7, 2014, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Room 319, 10AM - 11AM.

Once upon a time, mainframe education was all classroom and handouts. Then, there was basic CBT and lab-based courses and conference sessions. Then, online materials. Then online training and web-based CBT. And the journey continues. But is any of this working for you and the next generation of mainframers in your organization – and what would work even better? Join us for this moderated panel discussion, and share your insights and experiences as we look for better ways to develop new and future mainframers.
