CGI marked its tenth anniversary of operations in Lafayette, Louisiana, highlighting significant job growth and community impact. The company now employs over 750 people in the Acadiana region, surpassing its initial plan of 400 jobs announced in April 2014. This expansion has driven a year-to-date payroll exceeding US$60 million, contributing substantially to the local economy.
The success in South Louisiana is attributed to strong partnerships with local institutions, including the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Louisiana Economic Development, and Lafayette Economic Development Authority. Approximately 35% of CGI's Lafayette employees are hired through its college recruiting program, demonstrating a commitment to local talent development. CGI plans to hire at least 60 more positions in Acadiana, with continued growth anticipated.
This milestone reflects CGI's successful strategy of building onshore delivery centers to serve major government and commercial clients, leveraging regional talent pools. The sustained growth and investment in Lafayette underscore the company's operational discipline and its ability to create high-impact, high-wage jobs, enhancing its service delivery capabilities in the U.S. market.
