“Got talent? We want it.” Lime is hosting standard corporate recruitment events on Toronto campuses to connect talented students with disabilities and our corporate partners IBM Canada, TD Securities and TD Asset Management for 2009 internship, coop and summer opportunities. Lime events are not “career fairs” or “job fairs,” but are discussion/networking forums in a more intimate setting that facilitate the connections that lead to hiring success. And, we know that 90% of disabilities on campus are invisible – students with all disabilities are invited, and encouraged, to attend.
“Got talent? We want it.” Lime hosts standard corporate recruitment events on university campuses in the U.S. and Canada to connect talented undergraduate, graduate and doctorate students with disabilities and our corporate partners for both internship and full-time opportunities.

Lateral recruiting is a key talent acquisition component for our partners. They have integrated disability as a full component of their overall diversity strategy, and value the intellectual capital that is found in people with disabilities. Partnership with Lime is, after all, about “being smart” – not about “being nice”.
Based on the success of our inaugural recruitment reception in New York that targeted experienced, talented people with disabilities seeking career advancement, we will host additional events for our partners in major metropolitan markets in 2009. You won’t want to miss these opportunities to network one-on-one with corporate execs and recruiters who are seeking to hire, and potentially interview at the event for current openings.
