Programs
Workforce Pathway
Five structured pathways into Chicago's skilled trades — designed by a contractor, built for the community.
Every pathway we offer is grounded in real trade work. Lograr AMG Corp operates in commercial glazing and architectural metal fabrication every day, and we've built these programs around what the industry actually needs — and what participants actually need to succeed.
Core Trade

The flagship pathway. Participants learn the fundamentals of commercial glazing — storefront systems, curtain wall, window installation, glazing materials, and job-site safety. This pathway draws directly on Lograr AMG Corp's core trade expertise and connects participants to union apprenticeship opportunities in the glazing industry.
