International Holidays in November

Here at Workplace ESL Solutions we adore our international students!  Our hearts are touched as we hear their stories of what brought them to our country.  We thrill as they learn English and a new culture.  We cheer as they begin a new life here, but we also encourage them to remember their roots and celebrate their own heritage.

When you have international employees on your team, it's nice to be able to wish them a happy "All Saints Day" or "Remembrance Day" to let them know you appreciate their heritage and contributions.  Here are a few dates this month to be aware of:
