2027 Future Talent Program – Packaging Component Engineering – Co-Op

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to parse the job description and extract sections.

Employee Status Intern/Co-op (Fixed Term) Relocation: No relocation VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 10% Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable Shift 1st - Day Valid Driving License No Hazardous Material(s) no Job Posting End Date 10/30/2026 A job posting is effective until 11:59:59PM on the day BEFORE the listed job posting end date. Please ensure you apply to a job posting no later than the day BEFORE the job posting end date. Requisition ID:R382191 We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation, search firm, etc. Also remove application instructions (apply here lines). Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove metadata like requisition ID maybe as short p. We need to keep substantive info: description of role, responsibilities, learning & development, education requirements, experience/knowledge/skills, salary range, maybe schedule (targeted timeframe), maybe shift info? The posting includes shift 1st - Day, travel requirements 10%, flexible work arrangements not applicable, relocation no, visa sponsorship no, etc. Those could be considered schedule/benefits? The instruction: include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. The posting does state Salary Range, so we can have Pay section. It also states Targeted timeframe (31 May 2027 to 17 Dec 2027) which is schedule (duration). It also states Shift 1st - Day, Travel Requirements 10%, Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable. Those could be schedule details. However we need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine schedule info into a Schedule section. Benefits: not explicitly stated besides maybe relocation, visa, etc. Not explicit benefits like health insurance, etc. So we likely omit Benefits section. Requirements: we have Education, Experience/Knowledge/Skills Preferred, maybe also GPA, etc. Also "Currently pursuing degree in Packaging Science, Packaging Engineering", "Currently enrolled in an academic program and returning to university following this co-op assignment to complete credit requirements for graduation", "Available for full time employment for a period of six months." Those could be requirements/qualifications. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe overview), Responsibilities (Key Learning & Development list), Requirements (Education, Experience/Knowledge/Skills, maybe other eligibility), Qualifications (maybe similar to Requirements but we can combine). The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role (overview), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (education, skills, schedule). Pay section separate. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for the job title. We need to use

  for section headings. Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like site info, etc. That's substantive. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, legal, accommodation, search firm, etc. Also remove "Please note that this position may be closed before the posted end date or may remain open longer, at the discretion of the company." That's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered application instruction? It's about posting duration; maybe keep? It's not a duty/requirement; it's a note. Could be considered metadata; maybe drop as it's not substantive about role. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, and application instructions. This line is not exactly application instruction but could be considered a note about posting; I'd drop it to keep concise. Also remove "FTP2027 MD2027 Required Skills Preferred Skills: Current Employees apply HERE Current Contingent Workers apply HERE US And Puerto Rico Residents Only" - that's application instructions and metadata; drop. Also remove "Our company is committed to inclusion, ensuring that candidates can engage in a hiring process that exhibits their true capabilities. Please click here if you need an accommodation during the application or hiring process." - drop. Also remove EEO etc. Also remove "Search Firm Representatives Please Read Carefully ..." - drop. Also remove "Employee Status Intern/Co-op (Fixed Term) Relocation: No relocation VISA Sponsorship No Travel Requirements 10% Flexible Work Arrangements Not Applicable Shift 1st - Day Valid Driving License No Hazardous Material(s) no" - This is substantive? It gives details about employment status, relocation, visa, travel, shift, etc. Could be considered schedule/benefits? Might be worth keeping in a Schedule section. However the instruction says include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state shift, travel requirements, flexible work arrangements. So we could include Schedule section with those details. But we also have targeted timeframe (31 May 2027 to 17 Dec 2027) which is schedule. Thus Schedule section could contain: Targeted timeframe, Shift, Travel Requirements, Flexible Work Arrangements, Relocation, Visa Sponsorship. But we need to avoid thin sections; maybe combine Schedule and Pay into one? But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule. That's five sections; maybe okay. But we could combine Pay and Schedule into a "Details" section? However they specifically
