More jobs coming to Bossier thanks to CSRA task order

More new jobs are coming to Bossier City through CSRA, a global company that brings next-generation technology services to the federal government.

The company’s Integrated Technology Center in Bossier will get some of the 500 new staff positions needed to support a $238 million task order through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Enterprise Service Desk. Some of those jobs will also be located at CSRA’s Barbourville, Kentucky, facility.

The task order includes a one-year base with four one-year options. CSRA will provide IT service and support, affecting VA employees and VA-designated third parties who use or have access to VA-approved applications, hardware, software, data and services.

CSRA will hold job fairs to help fill these positions from noon to 3 p.m. on Friday, and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, at the Integrated Technology Center, 6310 E. Texas St., in Bossier City.

When CSRA selected Bossier City as the site for its Integrated Technology Center, the company promised it would create at least 800 new jobs in the area by the end of June 2018.

With five months to go until that date, CSRA recently announced that it has now hired more than 700 employees since opening the ITC in 2014.
