K14 Workforce Program Manager
- .
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree + 4-6 years experience or Master’s + 2+ years; strong commitment to equity and inclusion; excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications: prior experience in STEM outreach and/or pedagogy; experience with project management; experience with K12 STEM ecosystem in Oregon; experience with data analysis.
- Skills: maybe combine with qualifications? But we can list skills: project management, communication, equity/inclusion, data analysis, etc. However we need to avoid duplication. Could put Skills as a separate section listing specific skills: project management, STEM outreach, K12 ecosystem, data analysis, etc. But we already have Preferred Qualifications covering similar. Might be okay to have both but ensure not duplicate content. Could treat Qualifications as Preferred Qualifications, and Skills as derived from Minimum Qualifications (communication, equity/inclusion). Or we could skip Skills if not distinct. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications into a "Requirements" section? But they asked to use headings exactly as given: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: Position Summary description.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: maybe we can extract skills like "project management", "communication", "equity and inclusion", "data analysis". But those are already covered. Could still list them.
- Benefits: The posting includes benefits description: "An excellent benefits package includes 95% premium paid healthcare; a generous retirement and vacation package; and reduced tuition rates for employee, spouse or dependent at any of the Oregon University System schools". Also links. So we have Benefits content.
- Pay: The posting includes salary range: "The starting annual salary for this position will be between $66,696 – $77,000 but may be negotiated above this rate". Also mention total compensation range & benefits statement. So we have Pay content.
- Schedule: The posting includes "Work Days/Hours TBD". That's not specific; it's TBD. According to rule: do NOT include a section if content is filler/placeholder like "TBD", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD". So we should omit Schedule section.
Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
We need to use
for each section 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 etc. We need to include all details: Position Summary prose, responsibilities list, minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, skills (maybe we can list skills derived from qualifications), benefits details, pay details. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. Let's extract exact text. Position Summary (first paragraph): "Portland State University is Oregon’s most innovative, diverse, and affordable public research university, located in one of the nation’s most desirable places to live, and the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science is your testing ground for putting new ideas into action. We believe in involving everyone—from freshmen to faculty to community—in solving the problems facing our region and our world. Maseeh College includes five departments, 132 faculty members, and more than 2,700 students. We offer academic programs that provide transformative opportunities within the classroom and beyond. Our faculty includes six National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award winners and two members of the National Academy of Engineering. When you join our college, you’ll be at the heart of an intellectually-challenging, personally rewarding, and purposefully inclusive environment, connected to Portland’s “silicon forest,” a nexus of growing, innovative industries and agencies." Then "Position Summary The K14 Workforce Program Manager is responsible for the coordination of pre-college preparation initiatives and the development of K-14 partnerships. These efforts are designed to align with the strategic workforce areas identified by the Maseeh College. This is a grant funded position driven by two major funding milestones, serving as Oregon’s higher education partner in the NNME-funded PINES network and a $1 million grant to expand semiconductor career pathways through the state of Oregon. We are seeking a dynamic, organized, and collaborative professional to drive these initiatives forward. Based in the Maseeh College Dean’s Office, this role will serve as the operational backbone for our semiconductor and microelectronics grant portfolios, with the opportunity to continue past this grant with new funding secured. Serving as a crucial bridge between Maseeh College, K-12, and community college partners, this role drives dual-credit curriculum alignment, manages formal articulation agreements, and acts as a primary district liaison with deep insight into CTE pathways and school operations. The position actively coordinates workforce initiatives working with regional STEM hubs and nonprofit partners to promote high-demand semiconductor and engineering careers. Operationally, the coordinator provides end-to-end grant project management, fiscal tracking, and administrative support while overseeing teacher professional development, high school summer camps, and college internships. Additionally, the role maintains transparent communication across education and community stakeholders through strategic marketing, website maintenance, and media content collection. This position is an exceptional fit for a former Career and Technical Education (CTE) or engineering teacher, career counselor, or educational pathway specialist. The ideal candidate deeply understands K12 district ecosystems, community colleges, and knows how to guide students toward high-wage technical careers, and possesses the pedagogical or advisory insight needed to align high school coursework with college-level credit. This is a 1.0 FTE grant funded position, reporting to the Assistant Dean for Inclusive Innovation." We could split: About the role: first paragraph (description of PSU and college). Responsibilities: the rest (duties). But we need to avoid duplication. Could treat About the role as the overview of the role (the second paragraph starting with "The K14 Workforce Program Manager is responsible...") and Responsibilities as bullet list of duties extracted. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep prose in About the role and then list responsibilities in bullet form. Let's craft:
About the role
[combined overview text maybe first two sentences? Actually we need to include all substantive info; we can put the overview paragraph (the first big paragraph about PSU and college) and also the sentence about the role being grant funded etc. But we risk duplication with responsibilities. Better: About the role: brief description of the role (the K14 Workforce Program Manager responsibilities overview). Responsibilities: detailed bullet list. Thus About the role: "The K14 Workforce Program Manager is responsible for the coordination of pre-college preparation initiatives and the development of K-14 partnerships. These efforts are designed to align with the strategic workforce areas identified by the Maseeh College. This is a grant funded position driven by two major funding milestones, serving as Oregon’s higher education partner in the NNME-funded PINES network and a $1 million grant to expand semiconductor career pathways through the state of Oregon.

This is a 1.0 FTE grant funded position, reporting to the Assistant Dean for Inclusive Innovation." That seems to capture most of the description. Then Responsibilities bullet list: we can extract specific duties: - Coordinate pre-college preparation initiatives - Develop K-14 partnerships - Align efforts with strategic workforce areas identified by Maseeh College - Serve as operational backbone for semiconductor and microelectronics grant portfolios - Drive dual-credit curriculum alignment - Manage formal articulation agreements - Act as primary district liaison with insight into CTE pathways and school operations - Coordinate workforce initiatives with regional STEM hubs and nonprofit partners to promote high-demand semiconductor and engineering careers - Provide end-to-end grant project management, fiscal tracking, and administrative support - Oversee teacher professional development - Oversee high school summer camps - Oversee college internships - Maintain transparent communication across education and community stakeholders through strategic marketing, website maintenance, and media content collection We should keep the detail. Now Requirements (Minimum Qualifications): "Seasoned knowledge and expertise in principles, concepts, and practices in designated field typically obtained through a Bachelor’s degree and 4 to 6 years of professional experience or Master’s degree with 2+ years of experience within functional area. Knowledge permits the employee to plan steps for and carry out multiphase projects and to modify techniques to solve a wide range of problems. Strong commitment to equity and inclusion. Excellent written and verbal communication skills." We can put as bullet list? It's prose; we can use
for prose. But rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So if we treat requirements as a list, we can bullet each. But the text is not naturally a list; we could still bullet each requirement: Bachelor’s degree + 4-6 years experience OR Master’s + 2+ years; ability to plan multiphase projects; strong commitment to equity and inclusion; excellent written and verbal communication skills. We'll do bullet list. Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications): list: Prior experience in STEM outreach and/or pedagogy; Experience with project management; Experience with K12 STEM ecosystem in Oregon; Experience with data analysis. Skills: Could list skills like project management, communication, equity and inclusion, data analysis, stakeholder engagement, curriculum development, grant management, etc. But to avoid duplication, maybe we can list skills that are not already covered: e.g., "Stakeholder engagement", "Curriculum development", "Grant management", "Marketing and media content collection". However these are already in responsibilities. Might be okay to have Skills section with bullet list of skills derived from qualifications and responsibilities but
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
