We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have description: "When you join Land O’Lakes as an intern..." includes overview. We need to use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting:
- Overview: description of company, internship details: location Arden Hills, MN, 10 weeks June-August 2027, relocation assistance. That could be "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities"? We'll decide.
- Responsibilities: bullet list: Contribute to business-critical projects..., Engage in mentorship..., Expand your professional network..., Deliver a final presentation...
- Requirements: Experience-Education (Required): current first year MBA student with expected graduation date Spring or Summer 2028; track record of outstanding performance while working on high-impact projects and initiatives, including project management experience.
- Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? But we can treat "Experience-Education" as Requirements. Could also have "Qualifications" for other specifics? Not separate.
- Skills: Competencies-Skills (Required) list of bullet points; also Preferred skills.
- Benefits: "Relocation assistance provided for eligible candidates." Also maybe mention benefits? There's a paragraph about Land O'Lakes benefits: "We provide a broad portfolio of benefits to keep you and your family at your best." That's generic but still mentions benefits. However we should not include filler like "broad portfolio of benefits" if not specific? It says "broad portfolio of benefits". That's somewhat vague but still a statement about benefits. The instruction: include a section ONLY when 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. "Broad portfolio of benefits" is not specific but it's still a statement about benefits. Might be considered vague but it's still content. However we also have relocation assistance which is a specific benefit. So we can include Benefits section with relocation assistance and maybe mention broad portfolio.
- Pay: "The hourly rate for this 10 week internship is $60.00/hour." That's specific, so include Pay section.
- Schedule: "Hybrid Work Environment; minimum 3 days at Arden Hills, MN: Tuesday – Thursday weekly." That's schedule info. So include Schedule section.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers, application instructions, boilerplate, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.

We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to decide which content goes where.
Let's outline:
About the role
When you join Land O’Lakes as an intern, you are joining a Fortune 250 agribusiness and food production leader with more than 100 years of operations as a farmer- and member-owned cooperative. With business units spanning crop insights, animal nutrition, dairy foods, and sustainability solutions, you will gain a purpose-driven, hands-on internship experience. The Corporate Strategy MBA Intern will be based in Arden Hills, MN and takes place for approximately 10 weeks (June – August 2027). Relocation assistance provided for eligible candidates.
That seems good.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to business-critical projects that will test your ability to think strategically, glean insights from data, and deliver a recommendation to business leadership.
- Engage in mentorship and professional development programming throughout the summer.
- Expand your professional network and connect directly with Land O’Lakes senior leadership team.
- Deliver a final presentation of your project recommendations to business leaders at the conclusion of the summer internship.
Requirements
Experience-Education (Required): A current first year MBA student with an expected graduation date of Spring or Summer 2028; track record of outstanding performance while working on high-impact projects and initiatives, including project management experience.
Alternatively could split into but it's two items: education and track record. Could be list.
Better: - A current first year MBA student with an expected graduation date of Spring or Summer 2028.
- Track record of outstanding performance while working on high-impact projects and initiatives, including project management experience.
But the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should list requirements as list.
Skills
We have Required competencies and Preferred.
We could combine into one Skills section with subheadings? But we only allowed headings from list; we cannot add custom headings like "Required Skills" and "Preferred Skills". We could still use and differentiate within list items maybe with bold? But we must not invent headings. We could just list all skills (required and preferred) as list items, maybe marking preferred with "(Preferred)". That's acceptable.
Let's list:
Required:
- Curious and Analytical - Intellectually curious with the ability to go beyond surface-level information to seek and understand key insights and business implications; Ability to track down primary/secondary research, analyze data, and synthesize findings
- Business Acumen - Experience using quantitative and qualitative strategic and financial frameworks to analyze the attractiveness and potential of growth opportunities. Foundational knowledge and exposure to multiple business disciplines (i.e. marketing, supply chain, or finance/accounting)
- Driven and Results-Oriented - Sense of urgency and flexibility to meet tight deadlines while juggling multiple priorities
- Strong Collaborator - Team player; Track record of quickly gaining credibility, partnering with business leaders; Able to effectively lead and contribute to cross-functional teams through influence
- Excellent Communicator - Demonstrated professional confidence, communication and presentation skills when interfacing with executive leadership; Proven ability to articulate business strategies
- Self-Starter - Must be highly motivated with the ability to work through ambiguity; commitment to consistent, high-quality results
Preferred:
- Previous food and agribusiness experience desirable
- Prior consulting experience preferred
We'll put them in a with each as - . Could separate required and preferred with a note but not needed.
Benefits
We have relocation assistance and broad portfolio of benefits.
We can list:
- Relocation assistance provided for eligible candidates.
- Access to a broad portfolio of benefits to keep you and your family at your best.
That's specific enough.
Pay
The hourly rate for this 10 week internship is $60.00/hour.
Schedule
Hybrid Work Environment; minimum 3 days at Arden Hills, MN: Tuesday – Thursday weekly.
We should not include any other sections like Qualifications (we used Requirements). Could also include Qualifications but we already covered. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have used About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We omitted Qualifications because we didn't have separate qualifications beyond requirements. That's okay; we should not create empty sections.
Check for any duplicated lines: we removed application instructions, EEO, etc.
Check that we preserved all substantive information: company overview, location, duration, relocation assistance, team description, responsibilities, education requirement, track record, skills (required and preferred), benefits (relocation assistance, broad portfolio), pay, schedule. Also we included mention of Corporate Strategy and Business Development team description? Actually we omitted that description: "The Corporate Strategy and Business Development team at Land O’Lakes leads high-profile projects and initiatives sponsored by Land O’Lakes Executive Leadership Team to support enterprise and business unit strategy and growth. The team serves as trusted, internal consultants across three disciplines – strategy formulation, industry and competitive insights, and M&A – to have a significant impact on the company’s strategy and performance." That's substantive info about the team. Should we include it? It could go under About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the team". But we only allowed headings from list; we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. Let's add that to About the role after the overview.
Thus About the role paragraph will be longer.
Let's craft:

The Corporate Strategy MBA Intern will be based in Arden Hills, MN and takes place for approximately 10 weeks (June – August 2027). Relocation assistance provided for eligible candidates.
That preserves the team description.
Now check we didn't miss any other substantive info: "Experience-Education (Required)" we captured. "Competencies-Skills (Required)" and "(Preferred)" captured. "The hourly rate for this 10 week internship is $60.00/hour." captured. "Hybrid Work Environment; minimum 3 days at Arden Hills, MN: Tuesday – Thursday weekly." captured. "Relocation assistance provided for eligible candidates." captured. Also we have "Application Instructions" etc removed.
We also have "About Land O'Lakes, Inc." paragraph after responsibilities: "Join us and be part of a Fortune 250, farmer- and member-owned cooperative that is reimagining the business of food. We have been named a Top Workplace by Indeed and LinkedIn, and to the TIME 100 Most Influential Companies list. We provide a broad portfolio of benefits to keep you and your family at your best. Land O'Lakes is Where Your Future Takes Root. Land O’Lakes and our global entities support diversity in employment practices. Neither Land O’Lakes, nor its affiliates or search firms, will ever contact you and ask for confidential information over the phone or in email. If you receive a call or email like this, please do not provide the information being requested. If you need to submit a reasonable accommodation request to complete the employment application process, please call the HR Solution Center at 844-LOL-HR4U (844-565-4748) M-F 8:00am-4:30pm CT."
We need to decide if any of that is substantive and should be included. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The paragraph about being named a Top Workplace, TIME 100 list, broad portfolio of benefits, Land O'Lakes is Where Your Future Takes Root, diversity statement, scam warning, accommodation request - these are likely boilerplate/EEO/scam-warning. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove that entire "About Land O'Lakes, Inc." block. However we already used a broad portfolio of benefits in Benefits section; that phrase came from that block. But we can keep the benefit statement as it's substantive about benefits. However the block also includes other boilerplate. We can extract just the benefit line: "We provide
