We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invented summary. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove interview process, how to apply, etc. Must keep substantive info: description of work, duties, work schedule, telework, training participation, provide guidance, prepare reports, respond to emergencies, uniforms, union membership, salary, retirement, benefits package, etc. Also qualifications: other requirements (PA residency waived, basic training required, essential functions), legal requirements (background investigation, CJIS compliance, medical exam, psych eval, urinalysis). Also maybe "Skills" could be derived from duties? But we should only include sections if posting has real specific content. The posting includes "Responsibilities" (list of duties). It includes "Requirements" maybe as "Other Requirements" and "Legal Requirements". It includes "Qualifications" maybe same as requirements? The posting also includes "Benefits Package". It includes "Salary" and "Retirement". It includes "Work Schedule" (full-time 40-hour week, shifts etc). It includes "Telework" (no telework). It includes "Uniforms". It includes "Union Membership". It includes "Training Participation". It includes "Provide Guidance". It includes "Prepare Reports". It includes "Respond to Emergencies". It includes "Observation". It includes "Maintain Security". It includes "Inmate Contact". So we need to map to headings: About the role (maybe a brief description). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe legal and other requirements). Qualifications (maybe training, basic training). Skills (maybe not explicit; could be omitted if no specific skills listed). Benefits (benefits package). Pay (salary + shift differential). Schedule (work schedule, telework, overtime, weekends, holidays, adverse weather). Also maybe "Uniforms" could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements? Could be its own but not a standard heading; we could include under Responsibilities. The instruction: Use headings only for those specific section names. So we must not create other headings like "Uniforms". We can embed that info under Responsibilities or Requirements as appropriate.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we cannot omit details like union membership, uniforms, etc. So we need to include them somewhere within allowed sections.
Let's extract substantive content:
- About the role: "Join the Department of Corrections as a Corrections Officer Trainee and begin a career that makes a real difference. This role offers hands-on training and steady support as you learn how to maintain safety and order within a state correctional facility. You will build strong skills, gain confidence, and help support the well-being of inmates and staff. If you have a strong dedication to public service and want to help keep the public safe, we encourage you to submit an application for the State Correctional Institution (SCI) at Huntingdon."
That's a prose paragraph.
- DESCRIPTION OF WORK: "This position provides training and guided experience in the custody, supervision, and support of inmates in a state correctional facility. The role involves direct interaction with inmates and structured learning in essential security and counseling practices."
That could be part of About the role or Responsibilities. We'll include in About the role maybe.
- Duties list (under "As a Corrections Officer Trainee, you will perform the following duties:" then bullet list but actually sentences separated by line breaks). We need to turn into

- Duties list (under "As a Corrections Officer Trainee, you will perform the following duties:" then bullet list but actually sentences separated by line breaks). We need to turn into - items.
List:
1. Inmate Contact: Interact with inmates and visitors in both direct and indirect situations
2. Maintain Security: Monitor inmate movement and activities in cellblocks, housing units, work areas, dining spaces, and recreation areas to maintain security
3. Observation: Make periodic and unannounced rounds, conduct head counts, complete security checks, and report unusual situations to a Corrections Officer
4. Work Schedule: Full-time employment where you will work a 40-hour work week with shifts to be determined, work any shift and work in all areas of the institution as assigned, work overtime as required by operation necessities and emergencies, work on weekends and holidays which occur during your normal work schedule, and report to work under adverse weather conditions
5. Telework: You will not have the option to telework in this position
6. Training Participation: Participate in formalized instruction in the areas of sociology, psychology, court procedures, self-defense, leadership, custodial responsibilities, and the facility’s organizational structure

Also "Required Experience, Training & Eligibility" section includes:

- Legal Requirements: You must pass a background investigation and meet Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliance requirements. Candidates must successfully complete a medical examination, psychological evaluation, and urinalysis screening for drugs.
Also maybe "Veterans" etc but that's boilerplate EEO; we should remove.
Also "EXAMINATION INFORMATION" etc is procedural; we should remove as it's application instructions.
Thus we need sections:
- About the role (h3) containing the introductory paragraph and description of work.
- Responsibilities (h3) containing the list of duties (maybe as
- ). Include Inmate Contact, Maintain Security, Observation, Work Schedule, Telework, Training Participation, Provide Guidance, Prepare Reports, Respond to Emergencies, Uniforms, Union Membership. However note that Work Schedule and Telework are also schedule-related; but we might still include them under Responsibilities as they are duties. However we also have a Schedule section; we could move Work Schedule and Telework details to Schedule section. But the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should have a Schedule section for schedule info. So we should extract schedule details from the duty list and put them under Schedule. Similarly, Telework info (no telework) also schedule. Uniforms and Union Membership maybe could go under Responsibilities or Requirements? Uniforms could be under Responsibilities (duty). Union Membership maybe under Requirements (as a condition). But we can also put them under Responsibilities as they are part of the role.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can duplicate? Better not duplicate. We'll assign each piece to appropriate section.
Let's parse:
Duty list items:
- Inmate Contact: Interact with inmates and visitors in both direct and indirect situations
- Maintain Security: Monitor inmate movement and activities in cellblocks, housing units, work areas, dining spaces, and recreation areas to maintain security
- Observation: Make periodic and unannounced rounds, conduct head counts, complete security checks, and report unusual situations to a Corrections Officer
- Work Schedule: Full-time employment where you will work a 40-hour work week with shifts to be determined, work any shift and work in all areas of the institution as assigned, work overtime as required by operation necessities and emergencies, work on weekends and holidays which occur during your normal work schedule, and report to work under adverse weather conditions
- Telework: You will not have the option to telework in this position
- Training Participation: Participate in formalized instruction in the areas of sociology, psychology, court procedures, self-defense, leadership, custodial responsibilities, and the facility’s organizational structure
- Provide Guidance: Offer advice and guidance to inmates adjusting and participating in correctional processes and agency rules/regulations
- Prepare Reports: Write and complete detailed reports
- Respond to Emergencies: Act quickly and safely during emergency situations
- Uniforms: Wear employer-provided uniforms
- Union Membership: Follow promotion provisions of a collective bargaining agreement or memorandum
Now schedule details: Work Schedule and Telework.
Thus Schedule section will contain: Full-time employment, 40-hour work week, shifts to be determined, work any shift, work in all areas as assigned, work overtime as required by operation necessities and emergencies, work on weekends and holidays which occur during your normal work schedule, report to work under adverse weather conditions, no telework option.
We could also mention that shifts to be determined etc.
Now Responsibilities section will contain the other duty items (excluding Work Schedule and Telework). So list: Inmate Contact, Maintain Security, Observation, Training Participation, Provide Guidance, Prepare Reports, Respond to Emergencies, Uniforms, Union Membership.
Now Requirements section: Could contain "Other Requirements" and "Legal Requirements". Also maybe "Ability to perform essential job functions". We'll put those.
Qualifications section: Could contain "Successful completion of basic training in Elizabethtown, PA is required." Also maybe "PA residency requirement is currently waived for this title." That could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The posting has "QUALIFICATIONS Other Requirements: PA residency requirement is currently waived for this title. Successful completion of basic training in Elizabethtown, PA is required. You must be able to perform essential job functions." Then "Legal Requirements: ...". So we could treat Requirements as the legal and other requirements, and Qualifications as maybe nothing else? But we need to decide.
We have both Requirements and Qualifications headings available. We could put "Other Requirements" under Requirements, and "Legal Requirements" also under Requirements. Then Qualifications could be empty? But we must not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we should only include Qualifications if there is real specific content. The posting does have "QUALIFICATIONS Other Requirements:" which is basically requirements. So maybe we treat that as Qualifications. And then Requirements could be something else? But there is no separate "Requirements" heading in the posting; but we can still create a Requirements section for legal requirements etc. However we need to avoid duplication.
Better: Use Requirements for the legal and other requirements (PA residency waived, basic training, essential functions, background investigation, CJIS compliance, medical exam, psych eval, urinalysis). Use Qualifications for maybe nothing else; but we could omit Qualifications heading if no specific content beyond what's already in Requirements. However the posting uses "QUALIFICATIONS Other Requirements:" as a heading; we could treat that as Qualifications. Then we could have Requirements for legal requirements? But the posting also has "Legal Requirements:" as a subheading. So we could split: Qualifications: PA residency waived, basic training required, essential functions. Requirements: background investigation, CJIS compliance, medical exam, psych eval, urinalysis. That seems reasonable.
Now Skills: The posting does not list specific skills like communication, etc. It mentions training in sociology, psychology, etc. But those are under Training Participation duty. Could we create a Skills section? The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. If we don't have explicit skills list, we could omit Skills section.
Benefits: We have benefits package: Comprehensive benefits package, including health coverage, vision, dental, and wellness programs. Also retirement eligibility. So Benefits section could include benefits package and retirement? But we also have Pay section for salary and shift differential. Retirement could be under Benefits or separate? The instruction includes Benefits heading; we can put retirement under Benefits as part of benefits package. Or we
