Associate Vice Chancellor-Government Affairs and Civic Engagement
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range: $122,579 - $130,000 (Pay). Also mentions travel, evenings/weekends (Schedule?). It says "Must be able to travel to Springfield and/or Washington D.C. Must be able to work some evenings and weekends". That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Benefits: The posting mentions "Benefits information is found at https://www.ccc.edu/departments/Benefits/" and "WE OFFER: Excellent health and welfare benefit package and long-term savings and investment programs including 403(b) & 457(b) Investment Plans and a pension plan with the State University Retirement System (SURS) Plan. Generous vacation, holiday, personal and sick days, and tuition reimbursement." So we have benefits content. Qualifications: The posting includes qualifications list: Master's degree..., Five years..., etc. Also "An equivalent combination...". Also "Work experience in higher education public policy development highly desirable". Also "Knowledge and understanding of CCC’s mission...". Also "Knowledge of local, state, and federal legislative and executive processes". Also "Highly developed interpersonal skills". Also "Excellent verbal and written communication experience". Also "Skill in analyzing and interpreting legislation and policy documents". Also "Demonstrated ability to effectively advocate...". Also "Ability to exercise tact and diplomacy...". Also "Ability to work effectively within a culturally diverse environment". Also "Ability to develop and maintain partnerships with business, industry, and the community". Also "Must be able to travel to Springfield and/or Washington D.C." (maybe schedule). Also "Must be able to work some evenings and weekends". Also "Proficiency in the use of Microsoft Office 365". So many of these could be under Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have "About the role": maybe the introductory paragraph about vision, mission, primary objective. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: The duties listed under Essential Duties (Government Affairs, Civic Engagement, Timuel Black Scholarship Program). Also maybe the primary objective paragraph. Requirements: maybe the qualifications like degree, years experience. Skills: maybe the specific skills like interpersonal, communication, analyzing legislation, advocacy, tact, diverse environment, partnerships, MS Office. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's extract content. First, vision/mission paragraph: "City Colleges of Chicago’s vision is to be recognized as the city’s most accessible higher education engine of socioeconomic mobility and racial equity – empowering all Chicagoans to take part in building a stronger and more just city. The community college system’s more than 3,500 faculty and staff serve more than 60,000 students annually at seven colleges and five satellite sites. The mission of the Office of Legislative & Community Affairs is to: Ø provide legislative, regulatory, and financial support to CCC through proactive representation at the local, state, and federal levels of government Ø build and maintain a strong community relations program with external stakeholders Ø advance and strengthen CCC’s commitment to civic and community engagement". That's about the role. Primary Objective paragraph: "Primary Objective Reporting to the Vice Chancellor for Legislative and Community Affairs, the Associate Vice Chancellor-Government Affairs and Civic Engagement, is responsible for enhancing the District’s relationships with government officials at all levels and to maintain positive community relations. In collaboration with the VC and senior executive leadership, the AVC works on legislative issues beneficial to CCC and fosters working relationships with elected officials, government agencies, and industry experts. The AVC Is Also Accountable For Civic Engagement And Other Special Initiatives That Reside Within The Office Of Legislative And Community Affairs Civic Engagement: Management oversight of Civic Engagement unit; leads initiatives and strategies for building CCC’s capacity to cultivate community partnerships and explore student pathways for community involvement, leadership development, and civic responsibility. Timuel Black Scholarship & Fellowship: Oversees program initiatives providing scholarships and leadership development workshops centered on Chicago history and activism to support students, in their social justice works and career development in the social justice sector." This could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. Probably Responsibilities. Then Essential Duties broken into Government Affairs, Civic Engagement, Timuel Black Scholarship Program. Those are responsibilities. Then REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS: "Reports To Vice Chancellor for Legislative and Community Affairs Direct Supervision Director-Civic Programs". That's metadata; could be omitted or folded into short p. Probably we can include a short p under About the role? But instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Reporting relationships is minor metadata; we can include a short p. Qualifications: list of degree, years experience, equivalent combination, higher education public policy desirable, knowledge of CCC mission, knowledge of legislative processes, interpersonal skills, communication, analyzing legislation, advocacy ability, tact/diplomacy, diverse environment, partnerships, travel, evenings/weekends, MS Office proficiency. Skills: maybe overlapping. But we can separate: Qualifications = education/experience requirements. Skills = abilities like interpersonal, communication, analysis, advocacy, tact, diverse environment, partnerships, MS Office. But we need to avoid duplication; we can put education/experience in Qualifications, and the rest in Skills. Pay: Salary Range: $122,579 - $130,000. Schedule: Must be able to travel to Springfield and/or Washington D.C. Must be able to work some evenings and weekends. Benefits: as described. Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines like "Salary Range: $122,579 - $130,000" appears twice; we include once.
Also remove "Thank you for your interest in CCC!" etc.
Now craft sections.
About the role: include vision/mission paragraph and maybe primary objective? But primary objective is more responsibility. Let's keep About the role as vision/mission and brief description of office mission.
Responsibilities: include primary objective paragraph and essential duties (government affairs, civic engagement, Timuel Black scholarship). Could be a list.
Qualifications: education and experience: Master's degree..., Five years..., equivalent combination, higher education public policy desirable.
Skills: list of skills: knowledge of CCC mission, knowledge of legislative processes, interpersonal skills, excellent verbal/written communication, skill in analyzing/interpreting legislation, demonstrated ability to advocate, ability to exercise tact/diplomacy, ability to work in culturally diverse environment, ability to develop/maintain partnerships, proficiency in MS Office 365.
Pay: salary range.
Schedule: travel requirement, evenings/weekends.
Benefits: health welfare, 403(b)/457(b), SURS pension, generous vacation etc.
Now ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now produce HTML.
We need to wrap lists in
- . For prose, use
.
Let's draft.
