About Us
About Lograr Workforce Development
Lograr Workforce Development is a contractor-led initiative created by Lograr Architectural Metal & Glass Corp — a Chicago-based commercial glazing and architectural metal fabrication firm. We built this program because we work in the trades every day, and we see both the opportunity and the gap.
Our Origin
Built by a Glazing Contractor. Designed for the Community.
Lograr Architectural Metal & Glass Corp has spent years delivering commercial glazing and architectural metal fabrication work across Chicago — curtain walls, storefronts, window systems, and structural metal for institutional and commercial projects throughout the city.
As a contractor, we see the workforce pipeline up close. We know what skills the trades need, what barriers keep talented people out, and what it takes to build a real career in this industry. Lograr Workforce Development is our answer to that gap.
We launched this initiative to do what contractors do best: build something that lasts. Not a one-time program, but a structured, sustained pathway that connects Chicago residents — especially those from underserved communities — to real careers in the skilled trades.
Our Mission
Opening Doors Into Chicago's Skilled Trades
To create structured, contractor-led pathways into commercial glazing, architectural metal fabrication, construction logistics, manufacturing, and union skilled trades — pairing hands-on exposure with workforce readiness and supportive services.
Contractor-Led
We're not a workforce agency guessing at what the trades need. We are the trades. Our programs are designed by people who do this work every day.
Community-Rooted
We prioritize Chicago residents from communities that have historically been excluded from the construction industry and its career opportunities.
Pathway-Focused
We don't just offer training. We build complete pathways — from first exposure through job placement — with the support structures that make success sustainable.
Partnership-Driven
No single organization can do this alone. We work alongside unions, educators, developers, funders, and community organizations to build a real ecosystem.
