Model A — everyday exchange
A: When you say practical experience, do you mean paid employment only?
B: No. I mean relevant supervised activities too, if they are described honestly.
A: So organising a class resource can count as an example?
B: Yes, but do not present it as a job you never held.
Model B — Culture / CLIL explanation
In-demand careers can change with technology, demographics and policy. A forecast is not a guarantee that a particular learner will find work. Read the date, region and definition of demand, then compare required skills and entry routes. Avoid choosing a career solely because an unsourced list calls it future-proof.
The printed page125 highlights software/coding work, digital content creation and data-protection roles. Their skill profiles differ: writing and checking programs; communicating to a defined audience through digital material; and examining how personal information is collected, used and protected. Treat the panel’s demand statements as forecasts in its publication context, not a promise about every region in 2026 or a guarantee for an individual applicant. Compare a dated, local vacancy and its required training before drawing a career conclusion.
