2027 Future Talent Program - Value & Implementation - Outcomes Research Intern

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes paragraphs about program, team, etc. We need headings for sections that have real content: maybe "About the role", "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits", "Pay", "Schedule". We must only include sections if posting has real specific content. We have responsibilities listed. Qualifications: Education Minimum Requirement, Required Education And Experience, Preferred Experience And Skills. Skills: maybe combine with qualifications? The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They say "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings. They also say "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading". So we need to decide which sections to include. We have content for About the role: description paragraph(s) about program, team, etc. So we can include About the role. Responsibilities: we have bullet list. Qualifications: we have education requirements, required experience, preferred experience/skills. Could split into Qualifications and Skills? The instruction says we can have both Qualifications and Skills sections. We could put education and experience under Qualifications, and preferred skills under Skills. But we need to ensure we don't create thin sections. Let's see: Qualifications could contain Education Minimum Requirement, Required Education And Experience. Skills could contain Preferred Experience And Skills (which includes leadership, collaborative environment, etc). That seems reasonable. Benefits: posting does not mention benefits. So we should NOT include Benefits section. Pay: posting includes Salary Range: $39,908 - $111,111. Also mentions FTP2027 RL2027 maybe internal code. So we have pay info. So include Pay section. Schedule: posting mentions full-time onsite (or hybrid) for 10-12 weeks beginning May/June 2027. Also mentions internships up to 12 weeks. So we have schedule info. Include Schedule section. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details exactly as given, but we can format into

or

. Must not omit any substantive info. Let's extract substantive content.
