The ASE Group, announced the acquisition of Sydney-based social enterprise, Breathe and the appointment of the award-winning young entrepreneur, Jahin Tanvir as CEO of the Australian School of Entrepreneurship. Breathe provides public speaking education to young people and marginalised communities around Australia.

Comunity-led ASE Group is a purpose-driven business for good that delivers education, entrepreneurship and employment programs to Australians of all ages.

The ASE Group CEO, Taj Pabari said Breathe would support the Australian School of Entrepreneurship to achieve its goal of educating one million Australians by 2030.

“There is no ‘adulting 101’ class in high school that can prepare young people for the big wide world. There were just so many skills I should have learnt in school but didn’t – we want to be the place young people come to where they can learn about the real world whether that be through workshops, online education or conferences.” said Pabari.

“As the demand for life skills education continues to grow, we want to bring in exciting new organisations like Breathe and people like Jahin to make sure we really are at the cutting edge of innovative education.”

Incoming CEO of the Australian School of Entrepreneurship Jahin Tanvir was also a Young Leader of the Year finalist at Third Sector Awards 2022.

Tanvir shared that he was excited to work with more young people, schools and corporates around Australia. He understands the importance of entrepreneurship skills as a young entrepreneur himself and believes that life skills in public speaking, financial literacy, sales and networking are essential to entrepreneurs especially when starting a business.

“As a first-generation migrant moving to this country in 2003, empowering young people from all backgrounds, regardless of their age, gender or postcode is of great personal importance to me and I’m looking forward to taking the lead and inspiring hundreds of thousands of Australian youth,” said Tanvir.
