CTE Student Recruitment and Retention Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes description (About the role) maybe we can treat the first paragraph as About the role. Then Responsibilities: there is a list of responsibilities (multiple bullet-like lines). We need to use

• . Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications. Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications? Actually they have Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could combine as Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction: use headings for sections e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content accordingly. We have Pay: $45,000 per year. So include Pay section. Location: primary office location will be East Chicago with frequent travel to Gary and Crown Point. Some regional or statewide travel will be required. This could be Schedule? Actually schedule not given. Location maybe not a heading; we could include in About the role or maybe as a separate section? Not in list of allowed headings. Probably we can include location within About the role paragraph. Benefits: detailed list. We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines (like Student Recruitment And Outreach repeated). We need to preserve all substantive information. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft:

  About the role

  The CTE Recruitment and Retention Specialist supports student recruitment, persistence, and completion within Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. This position works collaboratively with academic leadership, advising, and student support services to identify and engage students at key points in their academic pathway, with the goal of improving retention, progression, and credential attainment. The role combines proactive student engagement with data-informed decision-making to support CTE programs aligned with institutional priorities and Perkins/CLNA goals. This role is funded by the federal Perkins grant and has an expected end date of June 30, 2028. There is a possibility the position could be extended but it is not guaranteed. Pay: $45,000 per year. Location: primary office location will be East Chicago with frequent travel to Gary and Crown Point. Some regional or statewide travel will be required.

  But we have separate Pay section; we might not repeat Pay in About. According to instruction: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. So we should have a Pay section. So we should not repeat Pay in About. So About paragraph should not include Pay line. We'll keep location etc. Thus About paragraph: description, funding, end date, possibility extension. Now Responsibilities: we need to list responsibilities. The posting includes many responsibilities grouped under headings: Student Recruitment and Outreach, Retention and Student Support, Data-Informed Student Engagement, Program and Faculty Collaboration, Monitoring And Continuous Improvement, Administrative And Operational Support. Also there is a repeated Student Recruitment And Outreach block later (duplicate). We need to consolidate and avoid duplication. We'll create a
  with each responsibility as
  • . We'll capture each distinct bullet. Let's extract: Student Recruitment and Outreach: - Support recruitment efforts for CTE programs through outreach to prospective and current students - Assist students in understanding program pathways, credential opportunities, and career outcomes - Collaborate with advising and enrollment teams to support onboarding and transition into CTE programs Retention and Student Support: - Provide guidance and support to CTE students related to academic progress, program requirements, and available resources - Proactively communicate with students to assess needs and connect them with appropriate campus or community resources - Support students in navigating academic plans and completing required steps toward credential attainment Data-Informed Student Engagement: - Utilize available reports and data tools to identify students at risk of not persisting or completing (e.g., course performance, stop-out patterns, enrollment gaps) - Conduct targeted outreach to student groups based on identified needs - Track and document outreach efforts and student outcomes Program and Faculty Collaboration: - Participate in regular meetings with deans, program chairs, and student support teams to review enrollment, retention, and progression trends - Coordinate with faculty and staff to address student needs and support program-level retention strategies - Assist in implementing retention initiatives aligned with program and campus goals Monitoring And Continuous Improvement: - Monitor student engagement and progression within assigned CTE programs - Identify trends and barriers impacting recruitment, retention, and completion - Share insights with leadership to support continuous improvement efforts Administrative And Operational Support: - Maintain accurate student records and documentation of outreach and interventions - Utilize institutional systems and tools for communication, tracking, and reporting - Respond to student and campus requests in a timely manner - Support occasional evening or weekend activities as needed We should not repeat the duplicate Student Recruitment And Outreach block. Now Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications. We'll put under

    Requirements

    with
    list. Required Qualifications: - Bachelor’s degree in education, counseling, student affairs, or related field - Strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills - Ability to manage multiple priorities and follow through on tasks - Experience working with diverse student populations Qualifications: maybe Preferred Qualifications. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience in higher education, advising, or student support services - Familiarity with CTE programs or workforce-aligned education - Experience using student data systems or reports to inform decision-making Skills: Not explicitly listed separate; but we could combine skills within qualifications. However we could still include a Skills section if we have specific skills. The posting mentions strong communication, organizational, interpersonal skills; ability to manage multiple priorities; etc. Those are already in Requirements. Could create Skills section but might duplicate. Better to follow instruction: include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We have skills mentioned; we could put them under Skills. But we already have them in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could keep Requirements as qualifications and maybe not have Skills. However the instruction list includes Skills as possible heading; we can omit if not distinct. Benefits: we have a detailed list. We'll create

    Benefits

    with
    items. We need to capture all benefits items: Health & Wellness: - Multiple medical plan options paired with a Health Savings Account with a generous employer contribution - Dental plan with no-cost preventive services and coverage for orthodontia - Vision plan with low-cost exams and allowances for glasses or contact lenses - Employee Assistance Program offering no-cost confidential counseling sessions, legal consultations, financial planning consultations, and other resources - Wellness program with opportunities to earn $250 in Wellness Rewards - Flexible Spending Accounts for healthcare (limited purpose) and dependent care Retirement & Financial Security: - 10% employer retirement contribution, fully vested after two years - Basic life insurance equal to annual salary paid by the College, with optional supplemental coverage - Short-term and long-term disability benefits Educational Benefits: - Fee remission for employees, spouses, and dependent children - Tuition assistance for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs - Paid professional development opportunities Work‑Life Balance: - Generous paid time off, including vacation, sick leave, holidays, and winter recess - Flexible work arrangements where available - Paid childbirth recovery leave (8 weeks) - Paid parental leave (4 weeks) Additional Perks: - Eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness - Additional discounts on gym memberships, transportation, and various retail services We could keep these as
    • under Benefits. Pay:
