Abstract: As the Thai government's policy requires community enterprises to be able to solve problems by themselves and be self-reliant, this study was conducted to assess and prioritize the needs of facilitator skills to enhance the facilitator technique in developing a training course for Thai community enterprises. The data was collected from 137 members of the community enterprises in Thailand. The research instrument was a need assessment questionnaire on the actual situation and expected situation towards skills of facilitator for community enterprises. The statistics used to analyze the data included mean (X ̅), standard deviation (SD) and Priority Needs Index Modified (PNIModified). It is suggested that the results of this study should be applied in the development of training courses to enhance the ability of facilitator of community enterprises. The findings present new knowledge on facilitator techniques, which community enterprise members can use to develop an economic system of the community self-sufficiency.
