Lime Connect Discovery Program: A First-Year Experience

We are excited to launch the Lime Connect Discovery Program: A First-Year Experience, designed especially for students with disabilities transitioning to the university setting.

As a first-year student with a disability*, Lime Connect offers a community of people with the shared experience of navigating their academic, personal, and professional lives with all types of disabilities.

Lime Network members also develop connections for professional development, gain access to career tools that help build skills, and ultimately build confidence in navigating life as a person with a disability.​

As a Discovery Program participant, you are invited to participate in a 5-part series of virtual workshops that include:

• Making a smooth transition to college/university
• Tips for creating a polished resume
• Creating a “stand out” LinkedIn profile
• How to prepare for effective interviewing & networking
• Whether, when and how to talk about your disability

We will wrap up the program with an invitation only, country specific (U.S. or Canada) networking event with Lime Corporate Partners who are leading companies in their respective countries, if not globally.

Eligibility:

Individuals who have a visible and/or non-visible disability (including mental health conditions) and are entering their first year of college/university within the U.S. or Canada are eligible to apply. All students who meet the criteria of being a first-year student with a disability will be welcomed into the program.

How to Apply:

Applications are now open and will remain open through the end of September.
