Suggest you talk with your seniors or manager and ask if there is the possibility to eventually proceed into mainframe work. Often these things do take some time.
Have a good one

First stop viewing a bad picture of yourself! (In case you see that way; unfortunately, your post make me to think that so I said it, if all is well - possibly you can work it out... :))

As dd has suggested, find out if there is work in the Mainframes at your current shop, if yes - consult with your seniors or manager and ask if there is the possibility to proceed into mainframe work.

If you've a team in your company working on Mainframes, try to get friendly with them - understand what they do in a typical office-day. Get along with them, show your commitment and mettle at times in that area and keep on asking politely about any coming opportunity - one day it might just work for you, as Dick, said,” Often these things do take some time".

Good Luck... :)

Ask your company if they provide. Consult any good institute which offer such trainings or certification.
