Adjunct Industrial Maintenance Instructor - Workforce & Skills Training
for section headings 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 the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a 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 posting and decide which sections to include.
The posting includes:
- Position Summary (description)
- Major Responsibilities (list)
- Industrial Maintenance Training Areas (list)
- Minimum Qualifications (list)
- Preferred Qualifications (list)
- Work Environment (description)
- About The Opportunity (description)
- Part-Time Employee Benefits (list)
- Then some repeated benefits details (Health & Wellness, Financial & Retirement Benefits, Educational Benefits)
- Then EEO boilerplate etc (to remove)
We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We can combine some.
"About the role" could be Position Summary + maybe About The Opportunity? But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Benefits (employee benefits). Possibly Skills could be derived from qualifications but we may not need separate Skills if not explicit. Pay and Schedule: The posting mentions Work Environment includes schedule variability, but no explicit pay. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections unless explicitly stated. The posting does not mention pay amount, so we should omit Pay. Schedule: The posting mentions "Training schedules vary based on employer and program needs and may include daytime, evening, or occasional weekend instruction." That's schedule info. Should we create a Schedule section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule info, so we can include a Schedule section. However we also have Work Environment which includes schedule and location. Could combine schedule info into Work Environment but we need to follow allowed headings. We could have a Schedule section with that info. But we also have Work Environment content (part-time, as-needed, location, travel). That could go under About the role or maybe we could incorporate into About the role. But we need to preserve all substantive info. We could create sections: About the role (position summary + about the opportunity + work environment?), Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Benefits, Schedule.
But we must not create sections with filler. All have content.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside sections, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines (like benefits repeated). We'll keep benefits content once.
We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes list of training areas, responsibilities, qualifications, etc.
Let's extract content.
Position Summary paragraph: "Adjunct Instructor positions are temporary, part-time positions hired on an as-needed basis to support workforce and skills training initiatives.

Benefits: The posting includes "Part-Time Employee Benefits" then list:
- Health & Wellness Employee Assistance Program offering no-cost confidential counseling sessions, legal consultations, financial planning consultations, and other resources.
- Financial & Retirement Benefits Employees may contribute pre-tax or post-tax dollars through payroll deduction to build retirement savings.
- Educational Benefits Fee remission opportunities for eligible employees, spouses, and legal dependents. Additional eligibility requirements and benefit provisions are subject to Ivy Tech Community College policies
Then repeated benefits details:
- Health & Wellness Access to a comprehensive vision care plan with low-cost exams and allowances for glasses or contact lenses
- 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.
We need to consolidate benefits without duplication.
We'll create a Benefits section with list items summarizing unique benefits:
- Health & Wellness: Employee Assistance Program (no-cost confidential counseling, legal, financial planning); comprehensive vision care plan (low-cost exams, allowances for glasses/contact lenses).
- Financial & Retirement: Ability to contribute pre-tax or post-tax dollars via payroll deduction to retirement savings.
- Educational: Fee remission for employees, spouses, legal dependents (subject to policies).
We should preserve all substantive info: mention that it's part-time employee benefits, etc.
We should not include boilerplate like "Ivy Tech is committed to supporting the well-being..." but that's substantive? It's more of a statement; could be included in prose. However it's somewhat generic but still part of posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. That line is not exactly boilerplate but could be considered fluff. Might keep? Safer to keep only concrete benefits. The line "Ivy Tech is committed to supporting the well-being, growth, and financial security of our part-time employees." is somewhat generic but still part of posting. I'd include it as prose in Benefits section maybe.
But we need to avoid duplication. We'll include a short paragraph summarizing benefits.
Now Schedule section: we have schedule info from Work Environment: "Training schedules vary based on employer and program needs and may include daytime, evening, or occasional weekend instruction. A significant portion of workforce training may occur during normal daytime business hours, particularly when training employees for local manufacturing partners."
We could also mention that it's part-time, as-needed adjunct position. That's more about work environment but we could put in About the role.
We need to avoid creating Schedule section if content is just "varies" etc. But it's specific: daytime, evening, occasional weekend. So we can include.
Now we need to decide which sections to output.
Potential sections:
- About the role (combining Position Summary, About The Opportunity, Work Environment general description)
- Responsibilities
- Requirements (minimum qualifications)
- Qualifications (preferred qualifications)
- Benefits
- Schedule
We should not include Skills separate unless we have explicit skills list; we could embed in qualifications.
Now we need to format.
We'll output:
