Lime Connect Canada's Corporate Recruitment Events for Upcoming Grads with Disabilities
BMO Financial Group, Google, IBM Canada, PepsiCo, RBC and TD Bank Financial Group seek to connect with students who nearing graduation with disabilities for a wide variety of full time positions. Openings include both undergraduate and graduate opportunities. While candidates from all provinces are encouraged to apply for consideration, we are especially pleased to expand our recruitment receptions to Vancouver, British Columbia in the near future based on partner desires to better connect with our candidates in that market.
Our partners have worked with Lime Canada to integrate disability as a full component of their overall diversity strategy, and value the intellectual capital that is found in people with disabilities. You won't want to miss the opportunity to network and develop relationships with corporate execs and recruiters who are seeking to hire. We put talent first, and this is no "job fair."
By the way, we know that one in five people globally has a disability, and that 90% of disabilities on campus are invisible - including ADD, dyslexia, depression, medical conditions and many others - and all individuals with disabilities are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities.
