Itās International Month, which means itās time to try something new, like learning a new language or discovering more about other cultures ā maybe for your job or just before a big trip.
š£ If you are looking to brush up on those language skills from your college days, you can register here for Upstate Internationalās spring classes (starting the week of March 19) ā anything from American sign language, French, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, Italian or German classes.
š If you just moved to the area (or know someone who did), Upstate International also helps with relocation services like finding accommodations, social security services, driverās licenses, English classes at varying levels, or making connections for people who want to start a business.
