As a leader in business and economic development initiatives, the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce recognizes the importance of investing in workforce development as a primary mechanism to achieve regional economic vitality. A strong, stable workforce is key to business success in any economy. 

In an effort to take a leadership role in addressing this need, three organizations, the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce, Midway Chamber of Commerce and the Saint Paul Port Authority, have taken an innovative step and joined forces to create Employer Solutions, Inc., known as ESI.
