I believe these things are largely left up to our imagination (for which I'm very thankful). So I just imagine it a certain way that you may or may not agree with:

The way I see it, people who become capsuleers all graduate from specific institutions (a.k.a. noobcorps). For whatever personal reasons you can think of your character was enrolled in one of these corps. That much is set in stone, and you can't really work around that fact as it's forever etched into your employment history sheet.

I would imagine most don't join their academies with the intention of becoming a capsuleer because the odds that you are compatible with pod-tech are very low. In fact, I find it reasonable to believe that these agencies would surround their capsule programs with a healthy dose of red tape and secrecy. You would probably not even learn about it until your higher ups pluck you from your post. The way I envision it, the various academies run routine interviews and examinations that filter out the chosen ones from the masses of the unqualified. The purpose of these examinations are likely kept vague and shadowy. After your character finds out he/she is one of those rare few that passes the entry requirements they suddenly become the center of attention, and that is when they really fall down the rabbit hole...
