Abstract

The article examines the activities of the Belgorod branch of the All-Russian public organization of the disabled "All-Russian Society of the Deaf" (VOG) on the labor socialization of members of the organization. Its creation set very difficult tasks for the Board and the assets of the Belgorod branch to consolidate the composition of grassroots organizations, creation of a system of activities designed to ensure the implementation of one of the main goals of a public organization - the implementation of social rehabilitation of the deaf, the formation of their civic position, the education of citizens capable of taking a worthy place in society. Labor socialization has contributed to the successful solution of this problem better than any other. Already in the early years of the organization's existence, a system of education and upbringing was built in familiarization with self-service, mastering labor skills in school workshops laid the foundations for future successful training in labor professions. Graduates of special schools had the opportunity to receive professional education in other cities of the country, since there were no specialized educational institutions in the region. Upon their return, graduates were employed at enterprises in Belgorod and other cities. A considerable part of the deaf Belgorod residents worked in state farms and collective farms. Interpreters provided assistance to deaf workers in adapting and mastering professional knowledge and skills at all workplaces, which is confirmed by archival documents. The deaf and hearing impaired Belgorod residents treated work with great responsibility, sought to master the necessary skills and apply them in the workplace. A significant part of the deaf Belgorod residents was awarded high professional awards: orders and medals, honorary titles. They actively participated in social competitions along with other workers and emerged victorious, confirming their professional skills. Thus, this is evidence of the successful labor socialization of the hearing impaired.
