The topic of communication and interpersonal soft skills is important to give to students, because it is one of the essential assessments of employers during the recruitment process. However, research results show that students need to pay more attention to soft skills, especially communication and interpersonal skills. Apart from that, these soft skills are not included in the accounting curriculum, so students need to get the insight and practice of communication and interpersonal soft skills. The FEB UM community service team considered this reason to raise the topic of communication and interpersonal soft skills using training methods, so that prospective accountant students not only get theoretical knowledge, but also practice these soft skills directly. This method requires students to practice their soft skills with direction from professional communication and interpersonal mentors. Mentors also provide detailed feedback to several students who dare to practice in front of the class. The results of training activities were obtained through questionnaires in the form of positive feedback from participants. Participants gain insight into communication and interpersonal soft skills, feel more confident in communicating, and are also motivated to practice independently. The hope is that students can improve their soft skills and be able to compete in the world of work. Keywords— Community Service Activity, Training, Soft Skill Communication and Interpersonal, Students
