Extension Educator, 4-H Youth Development (STEM)

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 where there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, application instructions). Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First part: "University of Illinois Extension Who We Are ..." That's description of organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "Who We Are" is about the organization. Could be considered "About the role"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Job Purpose: description of role. Could go under "About the role". - Minimum Qualifications: list. - Preferred Qualifications: list. - SPECIFIC JOB INFORMATION: location, full-time, etc. Could be under "About the role" or separate "Job Details". But we only allowed headings from list; we could put location etc under "About the role" or maybe "Responsibilities"? Better to put under "About the role". - EXAMPLES OF THE WORK: list of duties. Could go under "Responsibilities". - Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: list -> could be "Skills". - Job Responsibilities: detailed list -> could be "Responsibilities" (maybe combine with Examples of the Work). We need to avoid duplication but preserve all info. We could merge them under Responsibilities. - Scholarship: maybe under "Qualifications"? Or separate? Could be part of Responsibilities? It's about professional development, research. Could be under "Qualifications" or "Skills". But we have a section "Qualifications" for minimum/preferred qualifications. Scholarship is more about expectations; maybe under "Responsibilities". We'll include under Responsibilities. - Other Information: travel, physical demands, etc. Could be under "About the role" or separate "Schedule"? Not exactly schedule. Could be under "About the role" as additional details. - Work Schedule, Travel, Or Other Job Expectations: includes schedule, travel, evenings/weekends. Could be under "Schedule" (if we have schedule info). It mentions "Some work will be required during evenings and/or weekends." Also travel required. So we can create a Schedule section with that info. - Appointment Information: includes benefits-eligible, salary range, start date, etc. Could be under "Pay" and "Benefits". Pay: salary range $59,000 to $82,000. Benefits: benefits-eligible, professional development, training, work-life balance, etc. Also mention "full-time, benefits-eligible, non-tenure academic professional position appointed on a 12-month service basis." So we can have Benefits section with professional development, training, work-life balance, etc. Pay section with salary range. - Application Procedures & Deadline Information: we must remove application instructions per rule. So we drop that. - Also "OUR COMMITMENT TO EMPLOYEES": could be part of Benefits? It's about investment in employees, professional development, work-life balance, inclusivity. Could be under Benefits. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam-warning. Not present. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no markdown fences. We'll create sections:

About the role

with paragraphs containing: University of Illinois Extension description, Job Purpose, Specific Job Information (location, full-time, 12-month, security-sensitive, background checks), maybe also OUR COMMITMENT TO EMPLOYEES?
