Explanation

Suitability for a profession means how well a person’s qualities and the demands of the chosen profession fit each other. Everyone has their own qualities, and a decision about suitability is made by how well they match the demands of the chosen profession. The textbook gives four levels of suitability. Unsuitability: for example if, in a doctor’s opinion, health does not fit the profession; it can also be temporary. Suitability: there is no factor in the way of the profession, but no clear inclination either; such a person can become a good specialist in this field. Matching: personal qualities clearly match the profession’s demands, there is interest in the field’s object or achievements have been made in a practical trial. Passion: the highest level of suitability: the person clearly stands out from peers in this field and sees themselves only in that profession. Suitability is changeable: it is formed by self-education, development of qualities and also by changing working conditions. To develop an inclination it helps to read about the profession, join clubs and exhibitions, meet people in the profession, carry out a practical project and keep assessing your own results. Trials are carried out in safe conditions under adult supervision.

Worked examples
A pupil with poor eyesight who dreams of being a pilot may have temporary unsuitability; after treating the eyes they need a new medical check.
A pupil who keeps coming up with new project ideas in technology and gets good results may be at the “matching” level for engineering.
Class activity

Step game: draw a 4-step ladder (unsuitability, suitability, matching, passion) and write on each step a real-life situation about a profession. Then plan 3 small practical steps (a book, a club, a mini-project) you could take in the next month in a field you choose.
