Abstract
Description
This report summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of the Career Network Satellite Center
identified by the officers and consumers who were interviewed for this evaluation. Although
only a few officers and consumers participated in the evaluation, the information in this
report provides insight into what parts of the Career Network Satellite Center are working
well and which parts could be improved.
The perceived strengths of the Career Network Satellite Center are divided into four
categories: Staff, Resources, Accessibility, and Administrative Structure. Both officers and
consumers identified strengths that pertained to these categories. The resources of the Career
Network Satellite Center appear to be the strongest aspect, according to both groups (officers
and consumers). For example, both officers and consumers mentioned the telephones and
computers that are available in the Center as strengths.
