Adjunct CNC Machining & Programming Instructor Workforce & Skills Training
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Position Summary (maybe "About the role"?). The posting starts with "Position Summary Adjunct Instructor positions are temporary...". That is summary. Could map to "About the role" heading.
- Major Responsibilities: list bullet points.
- CNC Machining & Programming Training Areas Qualified Instructors May Teach In One Or More Of The Following Areas Based On Their Experience And Expertise: list of topics. Could be under "Responsibilities"? Actually it's more like "Training Areas". Could be a separate section maybe "Training Areas" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can map "Training Areas" maybe under "Responsibilities" or "Skills"? Probably "Responsibilities" includes delivering training; but the list of topics could be under "Skills" or "Qualifications"? The instruction: Use headings only for those categories. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: we have Position Summary and maybe "About The Opportunity" later. That's descriptive.
- Responsibilities: Major Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe not explicit; but we could infer from qualifications. However we should not invent. If no explicit skills list, we should not create Skills section.
- Benefits: there is a section "Part-Time Employee Benefits" with details. So we include Benefits.
- Pay: not mentioned. No pay info. So we should NOT include Pay section.
- Schedule: there is "Work Environment" describing schedule: part-time, as-needed, schedules vary, daytime, evening, occasional weekend, etc. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications), Benefits, Schedule.
We must not include Skills if no explicit.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from those sections.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (like benefits repeated). Also remove navigation etc.
We need to ensure we keep all substantive content from the posting.
Let's extract content.
Position Summary:
"Adjunct Instructor positions are temporary, part-time positions hired on an as-needed basis to support workforce and skills training initiatives. The Adjunct CNC Machining & Programming Instructor will create a hands-on learning environment that supports adult learners in developing practical machining, CNC operation, setup, programming, and troubleshooting skills aligned with modern manufacturing needs. This role focuses on delivering non-credit CNC machining and programming training for workforce development. Training may range from introductory machining and CNC operation to advanced setup and programming based on instructor expertise and employer needs. Instructors may teach at Ivy Tech Community College - Richmond or onsite at employer locations throughout the surrounding service area. Applicants are not required to have expertise in every CNC machine, controller, or programming platform. Instructors may be selected to teach courses within their specific area(s) of professional expertise."
That's the summary.
About The Opportunity (later):
"This position is well suited for experienced CNC machinists, CNC programmers, manufacturing technicians, toolmakers, manufacturing engineers, retirees, and other industry professionals interested in sharing their technical knowledge and experience. Applicants do not need previous college teaching experience to be considered. Professionals with strong hands-on industry experience and the ability to effectively demonstrate and explain machining concepts are encouraged to apply. Adjunct instructors can help Ivy Tech respond to the skilled manufacturing needs of area employers while remaining active in the industry on a flexible, part-time basis."
We can combine with Position Summary under About the role.
Major Responsibilities list:
- Deliver high-quality, hands-on CNC machining and programming training in classroom, lab, and employer-site settings.
- Facilitate adult learning through machine demonstrations, setup exercises, programming activities, troubleshooting scenarios, and practical applications.
- Provide or assist with course outlines, instructional materials, lab activities, and assessments aligned with workforce training objectives.
- Demonstrate safe and proper operation of CNC machines, tooling, workholding devices, and related equipment.
- Adapt instruction to participants with varying levels of machining and manufacturing experience.
- Maintain accurate attendance, progress, assessment, and course-completion records.
- Submit required course documentation within established timelines.
- Support participants with technical questions and skill development throughout training.
- Address participant concerns and collaborate with Ivy Tech Workforce/Skills Training staff as needed.
- Meet all scheduled training sessions as assigned.
- Utilize instructional technologies such as PowerPoint, Canvas, CNC simulation software, CAD/CAM software, or manufacturer-specific programming platforms when appropriate.
- Promote a professional, respectful, inclusive, and safety-focused learning environment.
- Ensure the safe use of machines, tooling, measuring equipment, and laboratory resources
That's it.
CNC Machining & Programming Training Areas list (maybe under Skills? but we don't have Skills heading). Could be considered part of "Qualifications" or "Requirements"? It's more about what they can teach. Might be considered "Skills". But we have no explicit Skills heading; but we could still create a Skills section if we have content. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not mandatory to only use those; but says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". So we could add a Skills section if we have specific content about skills. The training areas list is definitely specific content about skills/topics they can teach. So we could create a Skills section with that list.
But we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that list exactly.
Thus we will have Skills section.
Now Minimum Qualifications:
- Minimum of 3-5 years of relevant hands-on CNC machining, CNC programming, tool and die, manufacturing, or related technical experience.
- Demonstrated expertise in at least one CNC machining or programming discipline.

Benefits:
We have a block:
"Part-Time Employee Benefits Health & Wellness Employee Assistance Program offering no-cost confidential counseling sessions, legal consultations, financial planning consultations, and other resources. Financial & Retirement Benefits All employees can contribute pre-tax or post-tax dollars through payroll deduction to build retirement savings. Educational Benefits Fee remission for employees, spouses, and legal dependents. For more information on Ivy Tech Benefits, visit the Ivy Tech Careers Benefits page Ivy Tech is committed to supporting the well-being, growth, and financial security of our part-time employees. These benefits include: Health & Wellness Access to a comprehensive vision care plan with low-cost exams and allowances for glasses or contact lensesEmployee Assistance Program offering no cost confidential counseling sessions, legal consultations, financial planning consultations, and other resources Financial & Retirement Benefits All employees can contribute pre-tax or post-tax dollars through payroll deduction to build retirement savings Educational Benefits Fee remission for employees, spouses, and legal dependents.

There is duplication; we need to remove duplicated lines. So we need to consolidate unique benefits.
Unique benefits:
- Health & Wellness: Employee Assistance Program offering no-cost confidential counseling sessions, legal consultations, financial planning consultations, and other resources.
- Also: Access to a comprehensive vision care plan with low-cost exams and allowances for glasses or contact lenses.
- Financial & Retirement Benefits: All employees can contribute pre-tax or post-tax dollars through payroll deduction to build retirement savings.
- Educational Benefits: Fee remission for employees, spouses, and legal dependents.
- Reference to Ivy Tech Benefits page for more info (we can keep as a link? Probably just mention "For more information on Ivy Tech Benefits, visit https://careers.ivytech.edu/benefits.") That's substantive.
We should not include boilerplate like "Ivy Tech is committed to supporting the well-being..." maybe that's not boilerplate? It's a statement but could be considered fluff. Might be okay to keep but it's not specific benefit. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. That statement is not boilerplate but maybe generic. Safer to keep? It's not duplicated. It's a commitment statement. Might be okay but could be considered filler. I'd keep it as part of Benefits section prose.
We need to avoid duplication: The benefits block repeats Health & Wellness and Financial & Retirement Benefits and Educational Benefits twice. We'll consolidate.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
