How to make the character pool soldiers follow their choosen class

xcom-2

I made a few character pool units and assigned them a class, but when I recruited them as rookies, they upgraded into other classes that I did not pick. How do I make them the class that I want?

You can train a rookie soldier to a class of your choice in the Guerrilla Tactics building. If you acquire them as rookies and level them in battle, you're stuck with the semi-random class up.

"Chosen Class" for character pool options only applies when you gain the character as a veteran soldier (i.e. Black Market), and the character starts out at higher rank.
