The TAMID Educational program provides the foundation for the organization to meet its goals. Students will spend the second semester of their freshman year in an intensive educational seminar series where they will learn about general financial principles and build an understanding of investing in the Israeli market. The program continues through the student's sophomore year.

TAMID's educational curriculum has two goals:
