Abstrak

Public speaking is an essential skill for university students in facing academic and social challenges in higher education environments. This community service program aims to enhance the self-confidence and communication skills of first-year students of the Government Science Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari (class of 2021) through public speaking training. The program was conducted in two stages: coordination and training. The coordination stage involved a preliminary survey using Google Forms to identify participants' needs regarding the training. The training stage was held over two days under the theme “Speak Up and Change Your Life,” covering three subtopics: introduction to public speaking, public speaking methods, and the use of presentation media. The training employed an expository approach through lectures, interactive discussions, and simulation practices. The results show a significant improvement in participants’ confidence, mastery of material, ability to express ideas, and motivation to learn. The training was found to be effective in building students’ basic communication skills and is recommended to be implemented continuously.
