Correctional Captain
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 not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: advertisement closes date, job ID, etc. Also remove "Click here for more details on state employment." etc. Also remove EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must include Pay and Schedule sections if posting actually states them. The posting includes salary $57,288.96 annually, locality premium $5.228 per hour, shift premiums, weekend premium, holiday premium. So Pay section should include base salary and premiums. Schedule: The posting mentions shift times (3pm-11pm, 11:01pm-6:59am), weekend, holiday, overtime, 40 hr/wk, essential position, may be required to work overtime and any shift as needed. So schedule info present. Benefits: Not explicitly listed besides maybe health insurance reimbursement for physical exam co-pays, overnight lodging and travel for training provided. Also mention "Employing agency is responsible for ensuring employee possesses and maintains required licensure(s), certification(s) or other credentials." Not benefits. There's mention of "Employing agency is responsible for ensuring employee possesses and maintains required licensure(s), certification(s) or other credentials." Not a benefit. There's mention of "The cost of the physical examination will be billed through the employee’s health insurance; however, any applicable co-pays will be reimbursed by the department." That's a benefit (reimbursement). Also "Overnight lodging and travel is required for the ACT and provided by the department." That's a benefit. Also maybe "Career growth and advancement are encouraged through training and mentoring opportunities." That's more like a benefit. Also "Employing agency is responsible for ensuring employee possesses and maintains required licensure(s), certification(s) or other credentials." Not a benefit. So we can include Benefits section with those items.
Qualifications vs Requirements vs Skills: The posting includes Minimum Requirements (education, experience, substitute education/experience, special requirements). Also "Required to successfully complete the Department of Juvenile Justice Training Academy". Also "Must possess and maintain a valid driver's license". Also "Must be twenty-one years of age". Also "Must maintain any required licensure(s), certification(s), or other credentials". Also "Applicants are required to successfully pass a physical examination". So we can combine into Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. We have description about role (the agency description). That could be About the role. Responsibilities we have list. Requirements we have min requirements etc. Qualifications maybe overlapping; we could choose to include Requirements and maybe Skills (like leadership qualities, maturity, reliability, self-discipline). The posting includes: "The employee is expected to perform all duties to the best of their ability, act in a responsible manner at all times, demonstrate leadership qualities, and treat all staff, youth, and persons with respect. This is a demanding position that requires maturity, reliability, and self-discipline." That's like Skills/Attributes. So we could have Skills section.
Thus sections: About the role (agency description and position purpose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (education, experience, special requirements, physical exam, training academy, driver's license, age), Skills (leadership, maturity, reliability, self-discipline, etc.), Benefits (reimbursement for physical exam co-pays, overnight lodging/travel for training, career growth/advancement through training/mentoring), Pay (base salary, locality premium, shift premiums, weekend/holiday premiums), Schedule (40 hr/wk, shift times, weekend/holiday, overtime eligibility, essential position, may be required to work any shift).
We must not include headings with filler text. Ensure we have substantive content under each.
We must output only HTML fragment, no or . Use for headings, - for lists,
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. Let's extract all substantive info from posting.

Also "Hiring Agency Justice & Public Safety Cabinet | Department of Juvenile Justice Location ..." maybe we keep location? The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
