We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Position Overview, Position Details, Education, Required Qualifications, Desired Experience, Additional Skills Required, etc. We need to use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Include only sections with real specific content. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (position overview), Responsibilities (position details), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe education?), Skills (desired experience, additional skills), Benefits (none mentioned), Pay (none), Schedule (none). So we will include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. Possibly also Education as part of Qualifications? But we can have Qualifications heading covering required qualifications and education. However we need to follow instruction: Use headings for those specific labels only if content exists. We can create sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must include all info from posting except boilerplate. We need to convert paragraphs into
and lists into
- . Ensure we keep details like location, headquarters, reporting relationship, etc.
Let's extract content:
Position Overview paragraph: "The University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) invites applications for a UC Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development Advisor for Workforce Development serving Tulare, Fresno, and Kings counties. The Advisor will develop and deliver a program that will provide all youth meaningful personal development opportunities and prepare them for workforce and career opportunities. UCCE Advisors are responsible for applied research and extension of knowledge. Research activities are applied, needs-based, mission-oriented, and focused on addressing our communities' challenges. Extension activities are the educational practices Advisors use to share research results directly with clientele and communities. Increased knowledge and understanding of science-based research helps to support and promote the adoption of practices and technologies that solve problems. Extension methods may include individual consultations, presentations, organization of educational workshops and short courses, field demonstrations, and farm and site visits. Information may also be disseminated via radio outreach, webinars, fact sheets, policy briefs, news blogs, and social media. Publications are expected in various formats, such as newsletters, articles for the popular press, curriculums, conference proceedings, and peer-reviewed publications. Successful research and extension programs result in new information that improves knowledge or understanding and adoption of new skills, practices, changed attitudes, policies, and improved environmental, health, agricultural, economic, and/or social conditions. UCCE Advisors are evaluated through an academic advancement system based on four criteria: extending knowledge, applied research and creative activity, professional competence and activity, and University and public service."
That's about the role.
Position Details paragraph: "The Advisor will implement an innovative extension education and applied research program to address issues related to workforce readiness and career pathway development. Using a positive youth development framework for workforce and career pathway development, this position will create opportunities for youth to participate in agricultural technology, agricultural engineering; STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Agriculture, and Math); animal science; veterinary science; agronomy; and entrepreneurship or business development, with an emphasis on career awareness, skill development, and learning by doing. The advisor will provide academic oversight of the 4-H community club program and educational leadership to county based 4-H staff, educators, volunteers, and community members, supporting program quality, coordination, and community engagement."
Then Education paragraph: "This position is positively situated to integrate ANR's research and extension education efforts across communities to improve youth workforce readiness across the region. This is an opportunity to develop and deliver relevant program content that leads to meaningful impacts in local communities throughout California, including: Identification and implementation of program strategies and community-based approaches that strengthen workforce development opportunities for youth Development and evaluation of youth development programs that support workforce readiness and career pathway advancement Applying and assessing the 4-H Thriving Model of Positive Youth Development within workforce and career pathway programming in California There are excellent opportunities for the new advisor to establish extension and research partnerships with a variety of stakeholders and collaborators. The workforce development emphasis creates meaningful opportunities to partner with Workforce Investment Boards, Economic Development Corporation groups, industry stakeholders, and school districts across the region, strengthening alignment, visibility, and long-term program impact.

- Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Anti-Discrimination Policy Affirmative Action (maybe boilerplate but we should keep? It's policy statement; might be considered boilerplate but it's specific. However instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This is legal/policy; likely to be removed. We'll drop that line.
Also there is About UC ANR paragraph at end; that's boilerplate about the organization; likely to be removed as it's generic description. We'll remove.
We need to keep all substantive info: location, reporting relationship, etc.
Now we need to structure sections.
About the role: Use Position Overview paragraph (maybe also include some of Position Details? But Position Details is more about responsibilities. We'll put Position Overview under About the role.
Responsibilities: Use Position Details paragraph(s) that describe what the advisor will do: implement innovative extension education and applied research program, create opportunities for youth, provide academic oversight, etc. Also maybe include the bullet about program strategies etc from Education paragraph? That seems more about opportunities; but could be part of responsibilities. However Education paragraph includes "This position is positively situated..." which is more about opportunity; but we can keep under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role. To avoid duplication, we can split: About the role = Position Overview. Responsibilities = Position Details + the paragraph starting "This position is positively situated..." (the Education paragraph) as it describes responsibilities and opportunities. However that paragraph also includes "Counties of Responsibility" and "Reporting Relationship". Those are details about location and reporting; could be part of Responsibilities or a separate section like "Location & Reporting". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put location/reporting under Responsibilities as part of duties.
Qualifications: Could cover Required Education and maybe Required Qualifications (key qualifications). Skills: Desired Experience + Additional Skills Required.
We must not invent headings like Education; we can embed education under Qualifications.
Thus:
About the role
... (Position Overview)
Responsibilities
... (Position Details paragraph)
... (Education paragraph content)
But we need to ensure we don't duplicate sentences. Let's copy exactly the text from posting for those sections. Position Overview text: I'll copy verbatim. Position Details text: The Advisor will implement an innovative extension education and applied research program to address issues related to workforce readiness and career pathway development.
