Coordinate with local companies to assist with their overall growth plans. The expansion programs includes provision of site location, state and local incentives, infrastructure, utilities, & employee selection and training.

The Chamber has developed a jobs database and website, www.huntsvillejobs.com, which lists many job openings available at local companies. The site also has links to the participating companies' websites for visitors to gain further information.

The Chamber's Employment Committee, formerly known as the Workforce Recruitment Committee, consists of Chamber member companies whose committee members are in Human Resource disciplines, employment agencies, placement services and temporary services within the various industries they represent.
