PK-12

With two decades of expertise in planning for and examining the impact of efforts to improve PK-12 education, Hezel Associates is familiar with the deliberations, arguments, and outcomes associated with student achievement.  Over the years, Hezel Associates has worked closely with federal and state agencies, K-12 school districts/local education agencies, higher education institutions and their collaborators nationwide. We have ushered projects through the stages of conceptualization, implementation and assessment, and understand the importance of providing national, state and local education leaders with empirical, objective evidence.  As skilled researchers and evaluators who work regularly in complex education settings, we know our studies are dynamic.  To be meaningful, our plans and analyses must be coherent with overall institutional culture, and intervention and assistance strategies.

Career and Technical Education 

The educational continuum includes preparation for career and technical preparation.  The Hezel Associates team regularly investigates the viability of career-oriented training programs, delving into prospective student interests, instruction quality, and prevailing occupational supply/demand dynamics in labor market.

Higher Education

Higher education is at a new tipping point. As portals for varied learner groups—traditional,non-traditional, and underserved—colleges and universities are challenged to find realistic, economically efficient strategies to distinguish their institutions and programs from a crowded higher education market.  Since 1987, educators have trusted the Hezel team of experts for research driven strategy and concrete solutions unique to each institution and its challenges.  The results are anything but cookie-cutter and help our clients gain a competitive advantage.

We lead the way in distance learning, education policy development, cost analysis, market research, and strategic planning.

Public Broadcasting

Hezel Associates has built longstanding relationships with Public Broadcasting stations and administrative entities throughout the United States as a result of the company’s role as strategic partner and evaluator. Through these relationships, we have amassed a considerable depth of understanding of the forces influencing national and state PBS educational efforts.

Local stations throughout the country as well as national organizations have asked Hezel Associates to provide decision-makers with cost-effective strategies to deliver educational broadcasting. Our work often revolves around the increasingly critical relationship between broadcasting content and education standards, so we are familiar with the deliberations, arguments and outcomes associated with creating solid education content with measurable outcomes

Continuing Education 

Continuing education is on the leading edge of education-workforce development alignment.  Meeting the needs of diverse learners, helping employers manage their existing talent with professional development, continuing education offices around the nation faced with complex challenges of how to best serve their students and communities.  We have advised and investigated innovative approaches to educational outreach, with an eye to the unique dimensions of each institution and the community of learners it serves.

Hezel Associates has a deep history in the continuing education space, and our multidisciplinary team brings to bear an unrivaled mix of organization strategy, market research and higher education expertise.
