Tashabos program currently focus on youth socio-economic empowerment through revealing their hidden talents. Tashabos teaching prepares students with knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, management and leadership. It strives to inspire youth towards leadership, risk-taking, creativity and innovation to be socio-economically empowered. The Tashabos (entrepreneurship) program is adaptable to various types of beneficiaries. Today we have Tashabos alumni/entrepreneurs relying on their own supporting their families and contributing to economy.

Tashabos reaches Afghan teenagers at a formative period in their lives, when an understanding of free markets, entrepreneurship, and civic responsibility and participation can shape their future. The Tashabos curriculum is taught in both Dari and Pashto. The primary objective of Tashabos is to instill in Afghan youth an awareness of the values of entrepreneurship, market economics, and good governance. Tashabos Educational Organization TEO teaches youth the skills necessary to become entrepreneurs through educational activities, including training on market-based economies, fighting poverty and corruption, and the promotion of good governance and ethical business practices.

The Tashabos entrepreneurship curriculum, developed and promoted over several years by CIPE Kabul, provides teenagers lessons in the nature and means of business development in a free market economy.
