IBM UK Mainframe Challenge Poster
IBM has launched its annual Mainframe contest. It has already started and it will continue to run until 31st December 2012.

The prizes this year include:

  • A hoodie to the first 250 students to complete Part 1.
  • £50 Amazon Gift Card for the first 25 to correctly complete Part 2.
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab and a visit to Hursley Labs for the top 3 students completing Part 3.

Welcome to Your Future, a new site by CompSci to highlight relevant careers information that we hope will help you to think about what you want to do next and how to go about getting on the right track.

This information is intended for Aber CompSci students. It is probably most relevant to students planning an Industrial Year, 3rd years, final year MEng students and MSc students, but it is open to everyone.

This is an experiment and we welcome your input on how to make this a useful resource that helps you to move on to your next great challenge.
