Recommended stacks
Recommended starting points for common career directions
These stacks are the easiest way to stop the catalog feeling huge. They group together courses that make sense for a recognisable job direction instead of asking learners to compare everything equally.
Each stack is built from existing AppliedCareer courses and framed for practical CV use, role relevance, and next-step progression. It is not a separate qualification or bundled credential.
