Lime offers a fresh approach that brings people with disabilities (PWD) into the workforce and creates access to a 1.1 billion person marketplace.
Lime is a New York-based not-for-profit organization that represents a new direction in the business/disability space. By focusing on results and measurable return, we unlock economic potential both in the workforce and markets - through innovation and proven business practice.
Our flagship program connects global corporations with an untapped talent source in PWDs via post-secondary campus events, putting disability firmly under the corporate diversity recruiting umbrella. We target both current students and alumni at schools where our corporate partners have proven success.
Given that the language of business is process, Lime has begun to develop a Corporate Disability Standard, structured around an ISO-type framework. This ambitious project allows our corporate partners to effectively and efficiently source, hire, develop and market to PWDs. This process represents significant innovation in the diversity space.
