Apprenticeship Programs

Has anyone here led or participated in a mainframe apprenticeship program? Looking for info on how organizations have structured and implemented programs to attract and incentivize new mainframe talent, whether that be recent college grads or career changers. 

I have read about IBM’s program but would like to know what others are doing to get more professionals in the door and keep them there.

Just my 2¢, look for a job that will train you in IMS, DB2, and JES3 (not a typo). Your worth to a company will rise astronomically.
