Five years later, in 2012, C3i opened a second facility nearby – a hardware services depot located in Jenkins Township. These two centers, combined with positions located on-site at a client in Swiftwater, PA, have led to C3i establishing 354 jobs in the region over the past 6 years.

Initially, in the new facility, C3i will hire 100 people. Over the next three years, C3i will hire an additional 156 professionals in this location, bringing the total new jobs in the new help desk facility to 256.
