You probably don't. What you need to do is get them in a learning mood, where they
want to learn, and then they may teach themselves. How you do this depends on the business
culture where you are and the person themselves, and the resources you have available.
When you say "maintain" what does this involve, hardware maintenance, software
maintence, admin tasks such as adding user accounts, backups?

Subject: teaching young IT certed person about old minis/mainframes
A question for the ones that work in the industry and are working with old
mini and/or mainframes:
How do you teach a young IT certed person about the old minis/mainframe
that your department maintains?
