Public speaking skills support university students in presentations, discussions, organizational activities, and workplace preparation. However, many students feel nervous, struggle to organize ideas, and lack confidence before an audience. This simulated community engagement article describes training intended to improve Indonesian-language public speaking skills and self-confidence among students at Universitas Prima Indonesia. A participatory approach combines needs assessment, brief instruction, demonstration, gradual practice, peer feedback, individual performance, and evaluation. Simulated data include a self-confidence questionnaire, a performance rubric, observation sheets, and participant responses. The simulated mean self-confidence score increases from 31.20 ± 5.10 to 40.65 ± 4.20, with t(39) = 12.66, p < 0.001, and d = 2.00. Eye contact shows the largest improvement. Practice and constructive feedback illustrate how public speaking confidence may improve.
