This article applies the Model of Learning Outcomes for Public Service Education which suggest that enabling characteristics - factors that mediate the relationship among immediate, intermediate, and longer term outcomes - can improve our understanding of public service education. A survey was conducted of alumni at The George Washington University in Washington DC, and the American University in Cairo in Cairo, Egypt.
