Opportunities for young professionals discussed at the forum in the Central district

About 250 young specialists gathered at the IV Forum of organizations and institutions of the Central District “Time of the Young” on September 30. What the participants discussed, what opportunities are available to young specialists today - in the material of the correspondent of the Minsk-Novosti agency.

For some, the forum has become a platform for professional communication, for others - an opportunity to get answers to questions: where to look for support, how to solve the housing issue and what prospects are open to the young specialist.

Before the start of the main program, attendees could visit interactive and consulting platforms of district organizations and public associations. Here you can get additional information and personally ask questions to specialists.

The head of the administration of the Central district Valery Voronitsky addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. He noted that the forum has become a good tradition.

- We must work with our youth – with those who are employed and work in enterprises and organizations of the district. Today we also award the best young professionals who won their nominations. There were many applications, so the selection was held on a competitive basis, he said.

According to Voronitsky, not only the support of young workers, but also their professional support is of particular importance.

It is important not only to hire a young specialist, but also to help him get comfortable, train, and ensure the work of the mentoring system. I am sure that today young people will actively ask questions and offer their ideas. If among them there are initiatives that can be implemented in the Central district, we will implement them together, the head of the Central administration stressed.

One of the main parts of the forum was the dialogue platform “Time of the Young”. Social support and guarantees for young professionals.” The issues discussed by the participants concerned not only professional development, but also everyday life. In particular, young people were told about social guarantees, special attention was paid to the housing issue, a topic that is especially relevant for those who are just starting an independent life.

Head of the Housing Policy Department of the Central District Administration Natalia Dmitrieva spoke about the possibilities of obtaining rental housing and registering those in need of improving housing conditions.

- Young specialists who studied at the expense of the budget and after graduation were sent to work on distribution, can get rental housing on an extraordinary basis - in the presence of vacant apartments. In addition, they can register those who need to improve living conditions at the place of work. At the same time, the requirement of 10-year registration in Minsk for this category of citizens does not apply, the expert explained.

The forum discussed the possibilities of concessional lending, priority areas of youth policy, as well as issues of military service.

A special part of the forum was the ceremony of awarding the winners and prize-winners of the district stages of the competitions “Superprofi-2026” and “Best young specialist – 2026”.

Among the noted is a teacher of primary classes of secondary school No. 48 named after F. A. Malyshev Elizaveta Hozyainova. She won the district stage of the city competition "Best young specialist - 2026" among young teachers.

In the field of education E. Hozyainov for six years. Moreover, she came to her school as a student: in the fourth year she began to work as a teacher, and after graduation she continued here as a primary school teacher.

- I love my job and I love it every morning. It is dynamic, our activities are constantly changing. I love lessons, the fact that they are creative, I love feedback, giving children, their smiles. So I feel in my place, said the interlocutor.

Over the years, she managed to graduate one class. The children, the team and the atmosphere of the school remain the main reasons why she continues to work here.

A great role in the professional development of E. Hozyainova was played by fellow mentors. One of them was the teacher Alla Januszkiewicz, with whom the girl had practiced while still studying.

- This is a person whom I am ready to thank, because she is of great importance in the formation of me as a teacher, shared E. Hozyainova.

The interlocutor noted that today young professionals have many opportunities for development and self-realization. And the forum “Time of the Young” became another confirmation that good conditions have been created for those who are just starting their professional path – the main thing is not to be afraid to use them, take initiative and strive to develop.
