The analysis of the program and normative documents of the republic in the field of social work showed that the level of training of social workers does not meet the needs of the social services sector. Changes in the so-cio-economic sphere, the attitude of society towards social work, international practice dictate the need for organizing work and training social workers, taking into account the requirements of a professional standard in this field. The presence of a professional standard in social work obliges educational institutions to bring the content of the educational program for the training of social workers in accordance with the requirements of the standard, focusing on the formation of professional competencies. The formation of professional com-petencies and the definition of learning outcomes requires the use of training technology in the educational process — case management. Case management is a technology that reflects the content of the labor function of a social worker.

The article examines the training of future social workers in the United States and describes the ways of transforming positive experiences into the modern educational system of Ukraine. The author examines the main stages of the formation of American vocational training of social workers, which characterize the system of training, which was launched in 1898. The main differences in the training future social workers in the United States, the author notes the widespread use of practical forms of knowledge acquisition, a high percentage the tasks of the student's independent learning activities, the presence of slight specialization and a competent approach to the results of education. Training for social work in the United States is carried out in social work schools and colleges at universities. The programs provide three levels of training: a bachelor, a master, and a doctor of social work. The process of organizing the professional practice in future social workers in the United States is characterized by instructive, academic, and combining approaches. While studying in the United States, a student in each semester passes one to two practices under the direction of a social worker («field educator»). In general, in the USA during the training social workers, teachers are offered to perform two types of professionally directed practices: field, that is, without leaving the training and block, which is conducted with the separation from theoretical training during the semester. Now in America, the role of the state in the social sphere is increasing. Therefore, there are new forms of interaction and spheres of professional activity of social workers. The process of training social workers in the XXI century acquires new features and undergoes changes in the United States and Ukraine. Such changes include: changing the motives of professionalization - from social and educational to economic; development and possibility of competition in the international market of educational services.

Социальная работа характеризуется постоянным контактом с клиентом, что требует сформированности коммуникативной компетентности специалиста. Коммуникативные умения для специалиста социальной сферы являются как профессионально значимыми составляющими их профессиональной подготовки, так и надпрофессиональными навыками, востребованными сегодня во всех сферах профессиональной деятельности. Формирование коммуникативных навыков в процессе профессиональной подготовки будущих бакалавров социальной работы обеспечивается реализацией интегративного подхода, что предполагает сопряженность общепрофессиональных и профессиональных дисциплин, практик, организацию менторства и волонтерства как компонентов профессиональной коммуникативной подготовки, а также практик уличной коммуникации в рамках практических занятий. На дисциплинах общепрофессионального блока обучающиеся усваивают основные понятия и знания о коммуникации. На дисциплинах профессионального блока учебный процесс направлен на закрепление полученных теоретических знаний, освоение коммуникативных умений на практических занятиях, моделирующих коммуникативные ситуации, приемов общения с различными категориями граждан. Важным аспектом подготовки является умение строить процесс общения с учетом индивидуально-личностных, гендерных, возрастных и других особенностей клиентов. В процессе прохождения производственной практики обучающиеся отрабатывают полученные знания и умения в условиях реальной практической деятельности под руководством методиста. Менторинг предполагает формирование опыта коммуникативной компетенции под руководством ментора. Менторинг носит двусторонний характер и строится на взаимодействии ментора и менти, профессионально обогащая и развивая обоих. Включение обучающихся в волонтерскую деятельность позволяет закреплять навыки коммуникации с различными категориями граждан, строить общение на основе нравственных принципов. Практика «уличной коммуникации» как особый вид коммуникативного общения позволяет приобретать опыт коммуникации в ситуациях спонтанного общения. Умение расположить к себе собеседника, завоевать его доверие требует от коммуникатора сформированности коммуникативных навыков, в особенности навыков нравственного общения, дает возможность оценить свой уровень коммуникации в условиях реального общения. Такой подход обеспечивает эффективность формирования коммуникативной компетенции в процессе обучения в вузе. Social work is marked by constant contact with the client, which requires a certain level of formation of communicative competence of the specialist. Communicative skills for a specialist in the social sphere are both professionally significant components of their professional training, as well as supraprofessional skills that are in demand today in all areas of professional activity. The formation of communicative skills in the process of professional training of future bachelors of social work is ensured by the implementation of an integrative approach, which involves the conjugation of general vocational and professional disciplines, practices, the organization of mentoring and volunteering as components of professional communicative training, as well as street communication practices within practical classes. In the disciplines of the general vocational block, students learn the basic concepts and knowledge of communication. In the disciplines of the professional block, the educational process is aimed at consolidating the obtained theoretical knowledge, mastering communicative skills in practical exercises that model communicative situations, and communication techniques with various categories of citizens. An important aspect of training is the ability to build the process of communication taking into account individual, personal, gender, age and other characteristics of clients. In the process of the externship, students work out the acquired knowledge and skills in the conditions of real practical activity under the guidance of a methodologist. Mentoring involves the formation of the experience of communicative competence under the guidance of the mentor. Mentoring is bilateral in nature and is based on the interaction of mentor and student, professionally enriching and developing both. The inclusion of students in volunteer activities makes it possible to consolidate communication skills with various categories of citizens, build communication basing on moral principles. The practice of "street communication" as a special type of communication enables gaining communication experience in situations of spontaneous communication. The ability to position the interlocutor, gain his trust requires the communicator to form communicative skills, especially moral communicative skills, makes it possible to evaluate his level of communication in real communication. This approach ensures the effectiveness of the formation of communicative competence in the process of studying at a university.

Abstract How do welfare-reliant mothers enact their agency in relationships with social workers and social services? The present article addresses this question by investigating how twenty Israeli welfare-reliant mothers expressed different modes of human agency in in-depth interviews. Results show how research participants enact agency through (i) expressing anger, (ii) seeking help, (iii) resisting and (iv) engaging in non-action. By highlighting the multidimensional and situational nature of agency, this article offers a new relational lens for conceptualising and empirically studying human agency in social work.
