The St. Petersburg Chamber’s Workforce & Talent Committee has been making great strides in strengthening our community’s talent pipeline. HIRE – The St. Pete Way has recently been refreshed with updated study results and a growing library of resources, making it an even stronger hub for workforce development in our region. At the same time, we are in active discussions with Bisk to launch the SkillSync platform, which will connect job seekers, employers, and education providers in a streamlined way to better match skills with opportunities. On August 20, the Committee hosted a successful meeting highlighting apprenticeship programs across a variety of industries, underscoring the important role these programs play in preparing a skilled workforce. In addition, Chamber representatives recently met with Congresswoman Kathy Castor and Senator Nick DiCeglie to explore opportunities to expand and secure apprenticeship funding at the federal and state levels, ensuring these pathways continue to grow.
If you’re passionate about shaping the future of talent in St. Pete, now is the time to get involved. Employers are encouraged to consider launching or expanding apprenticeship programs, while job seekers and educators can take advantage of resources available through HIRE – The St. Pete Way and the upcoming SkillSync platform. Learn more about participating in the SkillSync platform here.

Housing, Land Use & Development Committee Meeting
2025-10-14 08:00 - 21:30 | 100 2nd Ave. N. Suite 150 St. Petersburg, FL 33701-3351 United States, 100 2nd Ave. N. Suite 150, St. Petersburg, 33701, United States
The Housing, Land Use & Development (HLUD) Committee has been advancing important work on historic preservation, affordable housing, and permitting reform. The Historic Designation Subcommittee has been meeting with City Council members to discuss updates to the designation process, while a new Affordable Housing Subcommittee is exploring recommendations such as transit-oriented development (TOD) zoning to expand access to affordable housing.

Permitting has been another top focus area. On August 8, the Committee convened a Permitting Round Table, bringing together Chamber members, developers, and city staff. A key outcome was the Chamber’s request for the City to begin publishing data that captures full permit lifecycles, which would improve transparency, accountability, and resource allocation. City staff expressed openness to continued collaboration with the Chamber to identify metrics that balance accuracy with context, ensuring both progress and remaining challenges are communicated effectively. Together, we can create policies and systems that balance growth, affordability, and efficiency—ensuring St. Pete remains a city that is both livable and economically vibrant.

Transportation Committee Meeting
2025-10-14 08:00 - 09:30 | 100 2nd Ave. N. Suite 150 St. Petersburg, FL 33701-3351 United States, 100 2nd Ave. N. Suite 150, St. Petersburg, 33701, United States
The Transportation Committee is pushing forward on several fronts to improve connectivity and multi-modal options across the region. One major initiative in progress is the ferry feasibility study being led in partnership with Forward Pinellas, focused on Hillsborough and Manatee counties. As part of that effort, social media ads have been launched to raise awareness and gather public input. Meanwhile, the Committee is organizing meetings with regional stakeholders—including the Westshore Alliance, Tampa International Airport, Brightline, and others—to discuss how to improve connectivity, particularly from a future Tampa station, during an upcoming meeting.
On top of that, the Committee is excited to highlight the launch of PSTA’s SPARK route. Set to begin service on October 26, this premium/high-frequency route along 34th Street South will connect Eckerd College to Grand Central Station. Its design and schedule are intended to mirror some of the features that made SunRunner successful—frequent service, improved transit access, and better connectivity across Pinellas.

🗓️ Next Committee Meeting Date: Tuesday, October 14
🕒 Time: 8:00 am
