Effective organization of work with young professionals, assistance in their rapid adaptation to official activities-the key to successful service in the Prosecutor's office and the formation of a highly professional cadre of prosecutors.

Every year, the staff of the Prosecutor's office is supplemented by young specialists. In most cases, these are graduates of the law faculty of higher educational institutions, as well as young people with little experience in the legal profession. Of course, the transition of yesterday's student from one sphere of activity to another is accompanied by difficulties, since not only the environment and content of activities change, but also the status of a person who requires independent decision-making and personal responsibility for them.

Once in the working environment, soon after the start of the service, a young specialist begins to lose confidence in their abilities and knowledge, understands that the profession is undervalued and thinks about finding another job. To avoid this situation, you need to provide appropriate assistance.

Psychological support and support in this direction teaches a young specialist to independently overcome the difficulties of the adaptation process and become a full-fledged subject of their professional life.

The main goal of the adaptation process is to achieve the necessary efficiency in a shorter time.

The main objectives of the adaptation procedure::

- reduction of errors associated with the involvement of a young specialist in the workforce;

- ensuring a favorable working environment and avoiding conflicts of office and interpersonal relationships.

To implement the above tasks, a psychological survey was conducted, which was attended by 5 young professionals who entered the workforce in 2016.The purpose of the experiment:

- determination of General mood, activity, mood;

- identification of stressful experiences that occur during the first and fourth weeks of work.

However, only 32% of them showed high results, while in the first week 57% had average mood and activity indicators, and 11% had low mood and activity, as well as a bad mood.

The results obtained during the experiment allow us to draw a conclusion about the feasibility and effectiveness of the work carried out. Psychological support for the study increases anxiety, stress-related stress disorders, mood and activity, and improves overall mood. A special feature of correctional activities for psychological support of young professionals at the stage of admission to the specialty is the work on forming a positive attitude to overcoming difficulties, developing a sense of demand and social security, mastering the basics of self-regulation in professional activities.

In addition, when providing psychological support to a young specialist, it is important to conduct psychological self-assessment correction: teach yourself to compare with yourself, help in developing reliable self-assessment criteria, jointly analyze the content and tasks of the service and compare its requirements with the capabilities of the specialist.

After consulting and correctional and developmental classes, a control diagnostics was conducted, during which the effectiveness of the experimental program for psychological support of adaptation of young specialists was determined.
