The district headquarters for coordinating student work teams discussed the upcoming work semester.

A meeting of the operational headquarters, responsible for coordinating and monitoring the activities of student detachments during the upcoming work semester, was held at the Lepel District Executive Committee. Elena Prusskaya, chief specialist of the Ideological Work and Youth Affairs Department of the District Executive Committee, spoke about the organization of student detachment activities in 2026. It was noted that the development of the student detachment movement remains one of the key areas of work to ensure temporary employment for young people during their free time from studies. Over the past 5 years, more than 1000 young people have been successfully employed within student detachments.

The analysis of work demonstrates a confident positive trend in both the number of formed detachments and the number of fighters employed in them. Thus, in 2021, 10 student detachments operated, employing 131 people. In 2022, the number of detachments increased to 17, providing work for 202 people. In 2023, 19 detachments operated in the district, employing 208 people. In 2024, a sharp increase in indicators was observed, with 34 detachments formed and 334 people employed.

In 2025, high work rates were maintained. 33 student detachments were formed, employing 347 people. Attention was paid to youth requiring special attention: 17 teenagers, with whom individual preventive work is carried out, and 8 young people recognized as being in a socially dangerous situation were employed in the detachments. This year, it is planned to employ about 430 people at 15 sites.

The second item on the agenda was the election of the commander of the territorial headquarters of student detachments and the holding of promotional campaigns "We Choose Student Detachment!" and "Work is Cool" in the district's educational institutions. Veronika Sychik, second secretary of the Lepel District Committee of the Belarusian Republican Youth Union, was unanimously elected commander of the Lepel territorial headquarters of student detachments.

Then, the first secretary of the RK of the BRSM, Natalia Zhurba, summed up the results of the district campaigns "We Choose a Student Squad!" and "Work is Cool!". These campaigns were held with the aim of widely informing pupils and students about employment opportunities during the third working semester. For this purpose, student squads of various profiles were offered: construction, pedagogical, production, agricultural, environmental, and service. This approach allows everyone who wishes to choose a direction in accordance with their interests and skills.

Vocational guidance events were organized in the educational institutions of the district, where young people could communicate directly with representatives of the student squad headquarters, fill out employment application forms, and immediately sign up for specific squads. This ensured the most prompt involvement of youth in the movement.

Currently, the number of people wishing to be employed through student squads is over 400. The first student environmental squad "Iskra" of this season, named after the Hero of Socialist Labour Maria Anibraeva, has already been formed and has started working. The squad, consisting of 7 people, is working on the territory of the Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve.

Also, the main attention of the meeting participants was focused on the most important aspects guaranteeing the safety of youth employment. During the meeting, emphasis was placed on the need for strict compliance with labor protection regulations and the creation of comfortable living conditions for student squad members. The head of the Department of Labor, Employment, and Social Protection of the District Executive Committee, Marina Inozemtseva, spoke on this topic.

The deputy head of the Lepel Department of the Social Protection Fund of the Population, Natalia Kostyukovich, spoke about the distribution of funds when working with student squads.

The interaction of the BRSM with employers was also discussed, touching upon the coordination of work with organizations in the district that accept students for summer internships. In our district, young people work in such fields as construction, agriculture, forestry, and public utilities.

No less important was the topic of planning leisure activities for student squad members. The meeting participants considered proposals for involving youth in sports, cultural, and civic-patriotic events in their free time.

In conclusion, it was noted that youth employment is organized at a high level in Lepel district. The coordinated work of the executive authorities and the territorial headquarters of the BRSM ensures a productive and safe summer for students.
