Одной из важнейших и социально значимых задач государства является правовая и социальная поддержка лиц, освободившихся из мест лишения свободы. Граждане после освобождения из исправительного учреждения нуждаются в помощи специалистов различных областей, в том числе социальной. У каждого из них потеряны социально-значимые связи, имеются хронические заболевания, создаются психологические барьеры и т.д. В связи с этим специалистам социальной сферы необходимо организовать комплексную работу по адаптации в социуме данной категории граждан. Из числа всех проблем, с которыми сталкиваются бывшие осужденные, наиболее значимой является проблема, связанная с их трудоустройством после освобождения. Данная категория граждан не подготовлена к началу трудовой деятельности в открытом социуме, у большинства отсутствует мотивация к трудоустройству. Цель исследования - теоретически обосновать и разработать технологию социальной работы по формированию готовности к трудоустройству лиц, освободившихся из мест лишения свободы. В статье представлены результаты констатирующего эксперимента на начальном этапе опытно-экспериментальной работы. Респондентами выступили безработные граждане, имеющие судимость. В исследовании приняло участие 10 респондентов мужского пола в возрасте от 35 до 55 лет. В процессе исследования была теоретически обоснована и разработана технология социальной работы по формированию готовности к трудоустройству лиц, освободившихся из мест лишения свободы. Технология представлена содержательными и процессуальными компонентами и предполагает поэтапное формирование готовности к трудоустройству лиц, освободившихся из мест лишения свободы. Для каждого этапа определяются задачи, содержание и методы. Решение задач предыдущего этапа создает условия для возможности перехода на новый этап. One of the most important and socially significant tasks of the state is the legal and social support of persons released from institutions of confinement. These persons need the help of specialists in various fields, including social ones. Each of them has lost socially significant connections, has chronic diseases, psychological barriers, etc. In this regard, specialists in the social sphere need to organize a comprehensive work on adaptation in society of this category of citizens. Of all the problems faced by former convicts, the most significant is the problem associated with their employment after release. This category of citizens is not prepared to start working in an open society, and the majority of them have no motivation for finding employment. The purpose of this study is to theoretically substantiate and develop the technology of social work for the formation of readiness for employment of persons released from prison. The paper presents the results of ascertaining experiment at the initial stage of experimental work. The respondents were unemployed citizens with a criminal record. The study involved 10 male respondents aged 35 to 55 years. In the course of the research, the technology of social work was theoretically justified and developed to form the readiness for employment of persons released from prison. The technology is represented by substantive and procedural components and involves the gradual formation of readiness for employment of persons released from prison. Tasks, content and methods are defined for each stage. Solving the tasks of the previous stage creates conditions for the possibility of moving to a new stage.

The article deals with basing of the necessity of social work with internally displaced persons (IDPs) in modern Ukraine, as not all of the problems of these people that have arisen as a result of forced resettlement have been resolved. The problem is in difference of the life trajectories of IDPs: some of migrants are in higher levels of income in the social hierarchy than residents of host communities, while others still live in collective housing in need of humanitarian assistance. Social differentiation within IDPs raises debates about the need to maintain common approaches to their social protection and social work with them. The purpose of this article is to prove the presence of signs of vulnerability in internally displaced persons, which necessitates the provision of social support by specialists working in the field of social work. To achieve this goal, the method of theoretical generalization and the method of deduction were used. The results of the study are the identification of such features of the social position of IDPs in Ukraine and features of their socio-psychological state, which evidence the presence of indicators of vulnerability, and therefore are the reason of social work with them in different areas. The presence of dual vulnerabilities in IDPs (the status of an orphan or a child deprived of parental care, a child or a person with a disability, a member of a family with many children, etc.) increases the need for social support from social services professionals.

Its task is to enhance the personal and social functionality of the people so as to cope with all kinds of everyday problems and hardship they encounter and to highlight the opportunities for realization and socialization in the society.The goal of social work is to reduce the number of people who suffer and need help, thus lessen the disbelief in coping with problems and highlighting the hope for the best. Such people can be children, adolescents, young people, adults and people with special needs.Sometimes in the family environment or in the wide circle of acquaintances, people fail to overcome the difficulties, and then a consultation with a specialist from the social sphere should be made. This need confirms once again that social-pedagogical intervention is not lacking, contributing to adequate and professional work to help address problems and deficits.For this type of realization, graduates of this major must have dedication and humanity to their work with people and their problems. They also need to know well the relevant risks in each occupation.Still, there is hardly any other profession that is so varied and versatile. This profession has many benefits as well as risks. The work of the Bulgarian social worker is the lowest paid among the helping professions and yet the one with highest efficiency and effectiveness expected.

The conceptual model of specialists' professional skill development working in the social sphere in the context of continuing education has been proposed.

The paper presents the subject matter of classes contained in a curriculum developed by the authors’ educational program for conducting professional skill development courses for employees of territorial social service centres (provision of social services) and geriatric boarding houses in the Kharkiv region. The interconnection between the specialists' professional skills development working in the social sphere and the development of normative and legal, social, methodological, management, communicative and empathetic, conflictology and ethical competencies has been substantiated following the provisions of sociological imagination put forward by P.
