The human capital is an essential aspect in determining the success and prosperity of the community. Each individual must be able to enhance their attributes and skill in order to not only contribute to society but to work together to ensure the outcome is suitable for the development of human life. Various industries and services range from different fields of study which require adequate and sufficient knowledge that each member of the community must be educated on to execute their tasks accordingly. It is crucial for the community to be guided and supplied proper skills and competencies that could aid them in improving their work and livelihood. One of the ways in doing so is through community development, such as was executed in Dili, the capital city of Timor-Leste.
