Culinary Intern, Restaurant Associates / New York, NY
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to include only sections where posting has real specific content. Let's parse the posting.
Job title: Culinary Intern (but we do NOT repeat as heading). Provide sections.
We have:
- About the role: There's description: "Become part of Restaurant Associates..." and "Restaurant Associates - Culinary Internship Are you passionate..." etc. Could be considered about the role. We'll include a paragraph.
- Responsibilities: The "What You’ll Learn & Do:" list includes many duties. Also "Support daily culinary operations..." etc. So we can put responsibilities as list.
- Requirements: There's a "Requirements:" line: "Currently enrolled in an accredited college or university and pursuing a degree in Culinary Arts." Also later "Internship candidates must meet the criteria below to be eligible for the Culinary Internship Experience Program:" with bullet list. Those are requirements/qualifications. We'll separate maybe Requirements and Qualifications. But we can combine? The instruction: Use headings for those categories if content exists. We'll decide.
- Qualifications: Could be the criteria list: currently enrolled, GPA requirement, sanitation training, knife skills, availability 20-40 hours, college credit not required but documentation. Also "Ideal Candidates Will Have an Interest in One or More of the Following:" list. That could be Skills or Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe the ideal candidates interests list.
- Benefits: Not explicitly mentioned besides maybe Employee Referral Bonus? That's not a benefit to intern. No explicit benefits like health, etc. So we should NOT create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. There's mention of "Employee Referral Bonus" but that's for referring others, not a benefit. So we skip Benefits.
- Pay: "Pay Rate: $22.00 per hour." That's specific, so include Pay section.
- Schedule: "Schedule: Full-time / to be discussed further upon interview." Also timing: SPRING 2027 etc. That's schedule info. So include Schedule section.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out the text about texting JOB to 75000, referral bonus, etc. Also remove "About Compass Group: Achieving leadership..." and EEO statement, disclaimer, etc. Also remove "Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis." etc.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details about timing, location, schedule, pay rate, requirements, responsibilities, learning objectives, ideal candidates interests, etc.
We must not repeat the job title as heading. So no Culinary Intern
.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

Now About the role: We need to capture the descriptive paragraphs about Restaurant Associates, mission, etc. Let's extract substantive prose: "Become part of Restaurant Associates, the industry’s leading provider of dining and event catering for some of the nation's most prestigious museums, performing arts centers and corporations!
