4-HYD Extension Agent or Agent in Training - Boone County Extension Office

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicate lines, application instructions, EEO, etc. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay: we have salary info: $53,000 at Service Instructor rank and $59,000 at Service Assistant Professor rank. So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule: position is twelve-month, full-time. So we can include Schedule section: 12-month, full-time. Benefits: Not explicitly stated; there is mention of "promotable, non-tenure track appointments" but no benefits like health insurance etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not mention benefits. So omit Benefits. We need sections: About the role (maybe a summary). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe education). Qualifications (maybe experience). Skills (maybe leadership, communication). We must not duplicate content. Must preserve all substantive info.

Desirable areas of educational experience: education, youth or child development, Agriculture and Extension education, Organizational Leadership, or closely related field at graduate or undergraduate level. Training and experience in education, youth or child development, Agriculture and Extension education, or Organizational Leadership is highly desired. Demonstrated leadership and management skill through collaborations and partnerships with agencies and organizations is necessary.

So we omit that section. - About WVU Extension: description of mission etc. Might be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be a summary of the position. The "About WVU Extension" is more about the organization; could be considered "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have an "About the role" section that includes description of the position and maybe the organization context. We should not repeat job title. We can include a paragraph summarizing the role: county-based faculty position implementing 4-HYD program, etc. We must not include boilerplate like EEO/ADA? Actually ADA mention is part of responsibilities (understand and implement provisions of EEO and ADA). That is substantive; we can keep it. We must not duplicate lines. There's duplicate sentence: "Develop an understanding of the county, the needs of its citizens and Extension's role in meeting those needs." appears twice. We'll keep once. Also duplicate "Faculty members are expected to engage in recruitment, retention and student success activities that promote access, education, training, experiences and career opportunities for young people that will lead to their future enrollment at WVU or other post-secondary institutions." appears twice (once under Service, once under Teaching? Actually appears under Service and again under Teaching? It appears under Service and again under Teaching? Actually appears under Service and again under Teaching? Let's check: Under Service: "Faculty members are expected to engage in recruitment, retention and student success activities that promote access, education, training, experiences and career opportunities for young people that will lead to their future enrollment at WVU or other post-secondary institutions." Then under Teaching: same sentence appears again? Actually under Teaching: after "Understand and implement the provisions of EEO and ADA." there is no repeat. Wait I see duplicate later: after Teaching section there is again "Faculty members are expected to engage in recruitment, retention and student success activities that promote access, education, training, experiences and career opportunities for young people that will lead to their future enrollment at WVU or other post-secondary institutions." Actually appears again after Teaching? Let's scroll: At end of Teaching paragraph: "Understand and implement the provisions of EEO and ADA." Then after that there is a line: "Faculty members are expected to engage in recruitment, retention and student success activities that promote access, education, training, experiences and career opportunities for young people that will lead to their future enrollment at WVU or other post-secondary institutions." That seems duplicate. We'll keep only once. Also duplicate "Demonstrated leadership and management skill through collaborations and partnerships with agencies and organizations is necessary." appears twice. Keep once. Now we need to decide sections: - About the role: brief paragraph summarizing position. - Responsibilities: list of major responsibilities and functions/tasks (maybe combine). Use

• . - Requirements: education requirements (bachelor's vs master's) and maybe degree must be conferred by hire date. - Qualifications: desirable areas of educational experience, training and experience, leadership, volunteer management, communication proficiency, experience with advisory committees, media/web-based delivery. - Skills: maybe leadership, communication, computer tech, volunteer management, grant writing, marketing, etc. But we already have some in Qualifications. Could split: Qualifications = education and experience; Skills = specific abilities (leadership, communication, computer tech, volunteer management, grant writing, marketing). However we must not create thin sections. We could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We have content for both. We'll make Qualifications (education/experience) and Skills (abilities). Ensure not duplicate. - Pay: salary info. - Schedule: 12-month, full-time. We must not include Benefits. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's list all substantive points to include: From About the role / summary: - County-based faculty position serving Boone County, supporting Extension activity in region. - Twelve-month position. - Academic rank Service Instructor or Service Assistant Professor depending on education. - Full-time, promotable, non-tenure track. - Implement comprehensive Extension program in 4-H and Youth Development (4-HYD). - Serve as County Program Coordinator (CPC) coordinating effort to provide county citizens increased access to WVU and WVU Extension programs. - Support programming in other areas: Family and Community Development, Agriculture and Natural Resources/Master Gardeners. - Amount of time spent in specific program areas determined with Unit Director, fellow faculty, based on county needs.
