Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of public speaking training on improving students' soft skills at SMKN 17
Jakarta. The background of this research is based on the importance of soft skills, such as effective
communication, confidence, and teamwork in supporting students' readiness to face the world of work. The
research method used is a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of the one-group pretest-posttest
type. The research sample amounted to 60 students in grades X to XII who were selected using the purposive
sampling technique. The research instrument is in the form of a soft skill questionnaire that has been tested for
validity and reliability. Data analysis using a paired sample t-test with the help of SPSS version 26. The results
showed that there was a significant difference between students' soft skill scores before and after participating in
public speaking training. The average student soft skill score increased from 68.45 during the pretest to 82.17
during the posttest. The results of the t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means that
public speaking training has a significant effect on improving students' soft skills. Thus, this training has proven
to be effective in developing important aspects of soft skills, especially in terms of verbal communication,
confidence, and social interaction skills. Based on these findings, it is recommended that public speaking training
be made a continuous program in schools to support the holistic development of students' character and
competencies. Follow-up research is also recommended involving control variables to test their long-term effects.
