A.3 Who will Provide the Training?
Hiring a skilled MVS person for the migration, whether temporary or permanent,
helps with the skill level of that one person. Don′t assume that the person is a
skilled educator or will have time to teach a curriculum to other team members
in his/her spare time. It is likely that this person will have a list of
responsibilities that may not include being a trainer and may not know VSE at
all.
Benefits of on-site training
•
Curricula can be customized to suit your specific needs
•
Blocks of training (for example, one week) can be tailored to deliver the
training when it is needed for the migration
IBM Education and Training (E&T) can help you with your training challenge by
providing customized training. E&T specializes in presenting a common basic
curriculum to a mixed audience of operators, applications programmers and
system programmers (OS/390 basics, how to use ISPF, JCL basics) and then
splitting each audience to learn those topics specific to their job performance.

A.4 Where will the Training Take Place?
There are a number of items to consider regarding where training takes place.
Among them are cost, how the time the class is offered fits with the project
needs and the availability of the students.
One consideration is that if you choose to bring in a trainer for a particular class,
consider delivering the class somewhere other than the normal work location
such as across town at a hotel. This can provide just enough distance to keep
the students from being drawn into daily problems at the office.
Having training delivered on site versus go away schools provides significant
advantage in class scheduling. The on-site class can be scheduled for the time
the skill is ready to be used. For go away classes you are normally limited to the
specific times the class is offered.
