Lithko Contracting

The construction industry is exciting because of the variety of work, how we impact our communities, the constant collaboration, career growth opportunities, and job stability. We get to see the impact of our work every day in our communities.

As the nation's second-largest concrete contractor, Lithko builds careers and communities in over 20 locations across the US. Lithko knows investing in Early Career Talent is critical to our long-term growth and success. The Early Career program impacts everyone, at all levels, across the organization through intentional development opportunities that build an innovative and talented workforce.

Lithko has a long-standing connection with Penn College. Many of the key players in our PA operations are Penn College alumni. Without the pipeline from their programs, the landscape of Lithko Allentown would look very different. As Penn College has continued to evolve and add programs, our partnership has strengthened even more.

Penn College is a sound investment because it is important to Lithko to recruit and develop talent that will stay in the Pennsylvania area. While Lithko has locations across the US, our town-based model means that our coworkers live where they work. Our Allentown location has benefitted greatly through our partnership with Penn College.

Lithko values students who are hands-on, action-oriented, and collaborative. We recruit students who are excited to learn and develop. Penn College students and alumni aren't afraid of hard work and are always excited to learn more with hands-on work.

High school students considering Penn College should consider how engaging in education will positively impact their future. Beyond what they'll learn in the classroom, they should take advantage of the relationships they'll build, the mentors they will have access to, and a variety of hands-on experiences.
