When I talk about myself, I often mention that I wanted to learn COBOL.
From time to time, I got distracted by other things, but fortunately,
there are now countless opportunities to learn COBOL, and I assume others
are also interested.
For example, I can recommend the following online course with GnuCOBOL,
which would be a good start:
https://www.linkedin.com/learning/topics/cobol
(But yes, this course would require a LinkedIn account.)
When it comes to mainframes, IBM offers countless opportunities,
including accounts and tests on mainframes.
PS: I recently got some Professional Certificates like “IBM Mainframe
Developer” or “z/OS Mainframe Practitioner Specialization.” There were
others doing the same at the same time. Honestly, I don’t know what
those might be worth, but dealing with z/OS, ISPF, REXX, CICS
and COBOL on an IBM Z Mainframe was great fun though. ;)
