We need to output HTML fragment with headings
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove navigation, EEO, etc. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary range: California Salary Range: $76000 - $100000. Also mentions benefits: comprehensive benefits package, medical/dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401(k), personal well-being benefits, Personal Time Off, holidays, etc. So Benefits and Pay sections are present. Schedule? Not mentioned explicitly; maybe standard work hours not given. No schedule info. So omit Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Qualifications (list? maybe combine qualifications and requirements?), Skills (list), Benefits (list), Pay (maybe just paragraph with salary range). Also maybe Requirements? The posting includes qualifications and requirements; we can combine into Qualifications section. But we have both Qualifications and Requirements headings allowed. We need to decide based on content. The posting has "Qualifications" heading in text. Also there are requirements like must be enrolled, GPA, coursework, etc. Could treat as Qualifications. Requirements maybe not separate. We could have Qualifications and Skills separate. The posting includes "Strong in technical, business acumen, critical thinking and agility skills..." etc. That's skills. Also "Demonstrated ability to excel..." etc. Could be skills. We'll create sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, visa sponsorship details? Actually visa sponsorship is a requirement: "Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future. KPMG LLP will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa)". That's substantive requirement; keep it. Also "Must reside within a reasonably commutable distance..." etc. Keep.
We must remove EEO/equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove "KPMG is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Remove "No phone calls or agencies please." etc. Remove "Los Angeles County applicants: Material job duties ..."? That seems like a legal notice; might be considered boilerplate? It's specific to LA County but still maybe considered EEO/fair chance. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/... boilerplate. That includes Fair Chance Act? Likely yes. So remove that paragraph.
Also remove "KPMG LLP and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges." That's boilerplate about pay transparency; but we need to keep the salary range itself. The sentence about compliance can be removed. Keep the salary range line.
Also remove "KPMG offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package." maybe keep as part of benefits? It's somewhat generic but we can keep as part of benefits intro.
We must preserve all substantive information: responsibilities list, qualifications list, skills, benefits details, pay range.
Let's extract sections.

Skills: The posting includes many skill mentions; we could extract a Skills section from the qualifications that are skill-based. But we already have many skill statements in qualifications. To avoid duplication, we could keep Qualifications as is and not have separate Skills. However the instruction allows Skills section if there is real specific content. We could split: Qualifications for education/eligibility, Skills for abilities. Let's try to separate.
Education/eligibility items: enrollment, degree, GPA, coursework/minor, specific coursework list, residency, travel ability, work authorization.
Skills items: technical, business acumen, critical thinking, agility; quality service mindset; technical aptitude; ability to learn/navigate technologies; MS Office; communication, time management, leadership; feedback oriented; resourceful; professional demeanor; collaborative leadership; etc.
We'll create Qualifications (education/eligibility) and Skills (abilities). Ensure we don't lose any info.
Let's list Qualifications items:
- Must be enrolled in an accredited college or university and pursuing the following degrees/majors: Bachelors and/or Masters in Business (Supply Chain, Logistics, or other business-related major), International Affairs (International Studies, Political Science), International Trade, Data or related degree, or equivalent program

We can keep that as a list.
Pay: "California Salary Range: $76000 - $100000". Also earlier: "KPMG LLP and its affiliates and subsidiaries (“KPMG”) complies with all local/state regulations regarding displaying salary ranges. If required, the ranges displayed below or via the URL below are specifically for those potential hires who will work in the location(s) listed. Any offered salary is determined based on relevant factors such as applicant's skills, job responsibilities, prior relevant experience, certain degrees and certifications and market considerations." We can keep the salary range line and maybe a brief note that salary is based on factors. But we must not include boilerplate like "complies with all local/state regulations". We can keep the salary range and maybe a short sentence: "Salary is determined based on skills, responsibilities, experience, degrees, cert
