Do you have education expertise you can share?
HYA is seeking experienced education professionals looking to support school functions through consulting and professional development.
HYA is much more than an executive search firm. School districts look to HYA to find consultants to help them with a variety of needs from the Board and District office governance to teacher development. As an HYA Associate, we match your expertise with the services and support schools need.
The HYA Associate Program gives educational professionals a way to provide educational consulting to school districts across the nation as part of a prestigious, connected professional community. Being a member of the HYA Associate Program allows you to focus on being the expert, while leaving the business, licensing, and insurance function on the firm.
