my proposal again:

A character has a category for every affiliation they are part of. But for these affilication, they only got the category for there latest rank/role they had. So a SHIELD member doesnt have both Agent and Cadet, or both Agent and leader, but only the last of the 2. So only agent, when they finished the academy, and only leader then they became leader.

Categories for other affilitations they had stay. (Example: Hydra infiltrators in shield will keep their SHIELD category). And the members of the SSR who became SHIELD agents keep both, etc etc.

So even though we know Ward, Jemma and Leo were Cadets, they only have the Agent category, because they finished the academy.
