We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Position Summary (maybe About the role). Essential Functions (Responsibilities). Requirements (Minimum Position Requirements). Also mentions Physical Requirements (maybe part of Requirements). There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info. There's mention of flexible schedule may include evenings, but that's a schedule detail. Should we include Schedule section? The rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting says: "Must be willing to work a flexible schedule that may include evenings." That's specific enough for schedule? It's a schedule requirement. Could include Schedule section with that detail. Benefits: none. Pay: none. Skills: maybe we can extract skills from requirements: computer skills, Microsoft Office, communication, etc. Could create Skills section. Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include. We have About the role: Position Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: Essential Functions bullet list. Requirements: Minimum Position Requirements list. Qualifications: maybe duplicate of Requirements? Could treat Requirements as qualifications. But we can still include Qualifications if there is distinct content like "Bachelor’s degree in education and/or TESOL/TEFL Certification preferred." That's qualification. However the Requirements already includes that. To avoid duplication, we could put Requirements as the list of minimum position requirements, and Qualifications maybe empty -> omit. Better to follow instruction: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to map content to headings. We have: - About the role: Position Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions (list of duties). - Requirements: Minimum Position Requirements (list). - Skills: maybe we can extract "competent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills along with strong computer skills and knowledge of Microsoft Office programs." Also "Fluency in English required, and another language desirable". Could be Skills. - Schedule: "Must be willing to work a flexible schedule that may include evenings." - Benefits: none. - Pay: none. Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule. We need to use

for each heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). Remove boilerplate: EEO line, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to extract the content. Let's parse the posting. Position Summary paragraph: "Successfully promote and support the mission of Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas as guided by the Catholic Social Teachings through the establishment and implementation of English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to eligible refugees and immigrants. This full-time teaching position will assist the English Language Training (ELT) Program Coordinator by teaching classes, taking attendance, completing student record-keeping, assisting with rolling enrollments, and providing general classroom and program support to staff members while working directly with adult students. This position will conduct in-person and remote learning classes at the Wyandotte County location." We should keep that as prose in

    . Essential Functions: list of duties. Let's extract bullet points: - Teach several sections of weekly pre-literate to intermediate level ESL classes to adult refugees. Classes currently start at 90 minutes long and have between 5-25 adult learners per class, but vary with rolling enrollment. - Work with ELT Program Coordinator to schedule and enroll new program participants into ELT program via onsite, offsite, and remote enrollment sessions to increase student numbers in the program weekly. - Supplement and utilize selected curriculum for both literate and preliterate adults. - Create and organize additional material, as needed for in-person and remote learning classes. These lessons could be given to volunteer teachers who lead their own classes/groups. - Maintain all necessary documentation of student data, attendance records, pre- and post-assessment scoring, case notes, and reports in Client Track, Apricot, G-Drive, and SharePoint databases to ensure agency and grant compliance. - Support ELT Program Coordinator and Refugee Volunteer Support Specialist in training volunteers to use appropriate curriculum and literacy resources. - Under the direction of the ELT Program Coordinator, assist with volunteer management in the classroom by leading tutors in one-on-one and small group lessons. - Train students to use public transportation or remote learning platforms to access ESL classes by arranging transportation to attend classes as needed. - Conduct program services in a culturally sensitive manner. - Collaborate with Catholic Charities’ internal and external community programs to maintain student participation in the ESL classes and provide resources for success. This position regularly communicates with the students and their case managers to maintain compliance. - Maintain an Outlook calendar to organize and coordinate program support. This position will participate in team and departmental meetings as scheduled. - Other duties as assigned. We need to keep all that. Requirements: Minimum Position Requirements list: - Classroom teaching experience, experience teaching early literacy preferred. - Bachelor’s degree in education and/or TESOL/TEFL Certification preferred. - Experience working with refugees desired. - Ability to work with diverse client population, community organizations and various professionals, as well as staff at all levels. - Fluency in English required, and another language desirable (Spanish, Dari, Swahili, etc.). - Must possess a valid Kansas or Missouri Driver’s license, dependable transportation, current vehicle insurance and a verified safe driving record. - Must be willing to work a flexible schedule that may include evenings. (But schedule we might separate; but it's also a requirement.) - Must have competent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills along with strong computer skills and knowledge of Microsoft Office programs. - Must be reliable, punctual, professional, able to follow instructions and handle emergencies. - Must also be able to work independently from general instructions. - Demonstrate a passion for the mission of Catholic Charities. - Must be willing to perform position duties by following the agency’s values: love, patience, kindness, faithfulness, self- control and joy. - Catholic Charities promotes a diverse workforce. Employees are not required to be Catholic, however, employees of Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas must understand that they are a visible representative of the Archdiocesan Church and as such will not publicly oppose the teachings of the Catholic Faith nor publicly advocate for any position in conflict with Catholic teaching, or the specific positions of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas or the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This requirement includes any public speech, demonstration, or writing including the use of social media or other digital technologies. - Must complete VIRTUS training, background screening, drug testing, and any ongoing training as required. Physical Requirements: list: - Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer, standing, bending and moving - Must be able to lift up to 10 pounds - Must have the physical ability to complete assignments in a variety of environments: homes of those we serve, extreme heat, humidity, dust, smoke, pet contamination, cleaning supplies, etc. - May be exposed to infectious diseases - Must have physical ability to effectively communicate with others - Must have the physical ability and appropriate licensure for driving We could incorporate physical requirements into Requirements or maybe a separate section? There's no heading for Physical Requirements in allowed list, but we could include under Requirements as part of list. Skills: we can extract: - Competent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills - Strong computer skills and knowledge of Microsoft Office programs - Fluency in English (required) and another language desirable (Spanish, Dari, Swahili, etc.) - Ability to work with diverse client population, community organizations and various professionals, as well as staff at all levels. - Ability to work independently from general instructions. - Reliable, punctual, professional. - Ability to follow instructions and handle emergencies. - Passion for mission. - Willing to follow agency values. - Ability to train volunteers, manage volunteer tutors. - Ability to create/organize additional material. - Ability to maintain documentation in various databases. - Ability to schedule and enroll participants. - Ability to teach ESL classes pre-literate to intermediate. - Ability to use public transportation or remote learning platforms training. But many of these are already in Requirements or Responsibilities. To avoid duplication, maybe we just create Skills section with the explicit skill mentions: "competent oral, written, and interpersonal communication skills along with strong computer skills and knowledge of Microsoft Office programs." Also "Fluency in English required, and another language desirable". Also "Ability to work with diverse client population...". However that overlaps with Requirements. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we put same content in multiple sections, that's duplication but not prohibited? It says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. It doesn't explicitly forbid repeating content across sections, but better to avoid redundancy. However we need to include all substantive information somewhere. If we put all in Requirements, we can omit Skills. But the instruction says we should prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Skills into one Requirements section, and not create Skills. But we need to decide if we need Skills heading. Since we have explicit skill mentions, we could include them under Requirements. The heading "Requirements" can contain both minimum requirements and skills. That's acceptable. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including minimum position requirements, physical requirements, skills, schedule maybe). Schedule: we have "Must be willing to work a flexible schedule that may include evenings." That's a requirement but could be placed under Requirements as well. However the instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. If we put schedule info under Requirements, we don't need a separate Schedule section. But we could also create Schedule section with that line. Which is better? The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to not create a thin Schedule section with just one line; incorporate into Requirements. Thus we will have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. We need to ensure we include all substantive information: Position Summary, Essential Functions, Minimum Position Requirements (including education, experience, language, driver's license, schedule flexibility, communication/computer skills, reliability, independence, passion, agency values, diversity statement, VIRTUS training, background check, drug testing, ongoing training), Physical Requirements. We must not include boilerplate: EEO line (there's an "EEO." at start after description? Actually after description there is "EEO." That's boilerplate; remove. Also remove any duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Thus final HTML:
