We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Description (maybe About the role), Location, Schedule, Rate (Pay), Responsibilities, Physical Demands (maybe part of Requirements?), Requirements (Level 1 and Level 2), Skills Required. Also mention COMHAR offers three different training programs (maybe part of About the role). We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). Also remove duplicated lines. No Job ID. No navigation etc.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could combine description paragraph(s) about role, location, training programs. Use
for prose. - Responsibilities: list bullet points. - Requirements: maybe split into Level 1 and Level 2? Could combine as list? But we need to preserve details. Could have
Requirements
then- ... each bullet.
- Skills:
Skills
with list. - Schedule: we have schedule Monday-Friday 8:30AM-4:00PM. Also mention flexible including weekends and holidays. So schedule section. - Pay: Rate: $18.00/HR-$19.00/HR. - Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly besides maybe training programs? Not benefits like health etc. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not mention benefits like health insurance, PTO, etc. So omit Benefits. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? The instruction says use headings like Qualifications if present. Not present. So we can omit. - About the role: we can include location and description. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Those appear in Requirements: "Experience w individuals having a developmental, intellectual disability or commensurate experience is preferred". That's specific content, we keep it. Also "Level 1 High School Diploma or GED" etc. We need to remove duplicated lines: The responsibilities list has some repeated phrases? We'll keep each bullet as given but maybe deduplicate identical sentences. Let's examine responsibilities text: "Provide consumers with on-the-job training, counseling, resources, job development and supports that are person-centered, promotes independence, encourages community participation, and prioritizes paid employment.Deliver services in a manner that actively engages and challenges each individual to increase their independent functioning, self-esteem, self-sufficiency, and towards more independent adult living.Create opportunities and supports for assessments, internships, or paid employment aimed at helping individuals fine-tune their employment interests and skills.Provide on the job training and supports to individuals of a nature, intensity and duration that enhances success, integration, and independence on the job. Create a deliberate plan fade support that balances risk against gain.Work cooperatively with COMHAR staff, supervisors, consumers, team members associated with the consumers enrolled in the Employment program, and employers and in a manner that is consistent with core values.Work cooperatively with funding sources and referral agencies in a manner that is consistent with core values.Actively participate in and contribute to activities/projects/teams that serve the broader unit, agency, and community needs or interests.Seek out and participate in training and professional development to satisfy requirements to heighten the quality of services, build and strengthen business and community resources, and prioritizes Employment First.Follow all policies and procedures established by COMHAR, federal, state and county laws and funding entities.Maintain an active exchange with supervisor or issues and/or needs. Offer a deliberate responsiveness to supervisory directives, instruction, and feedback. Observe the unit’s and the agency’s chain of command.Maintain professional and on-going relationships with case managers, local, state, and federal funders.Conduct and coordinate service provision and documentation in a timely, cost-conscious manner." We can split into separate bullet points for each sentence. Some sentences are similar: "Work cooperatively with COMHAR staff..." and "Work cooperatively with funding sources..." are distinct. Keep both. We'll produce- each.
Now Requirements: There are Level 1 and Level 2 bullet sets. We'll combine maybe as separate bullet points under Requirements.

We could combine duplicates but keep both levels maybe as subheadings? But we only have h3 for section headings, not subheadings. Could embed Level 1 and Level 2 as bold text inside li? Probably okay to just list all requirements, noting Level 1 vs Level 2. Could prefix each with "(Level 1)" etc.
