We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Position Summary: description of PSU, Maseeh College, etc. Could be "About the "About the role" be the position summary? Probably we can put "About the role" as heading with the position summary content.
- Responsibilities: The posting lists responsibilities: coordination of pre-college preparation initiatives, development of K-14 partnerships, aligning with strategic workforce areas, grant funded position, operational backbone for semiconductor and microelectronics grant portfolios, bridge between Maseeh College, K-12, community college partners, drives dual-credit curriculum alignment, manages formal articulation agreements, primary district liaison, coordinates workforce initiatives with regional STEM hubs and nonprofit partners, provides end-to-end grant project management, fiscal tracking, administrative support, oversees teacher professional development, high school summer camps, college internships, maintains transparent communication across stakeholders through strategic marketing, website maintenance, media content collection.

- Requirements/Qualifications: 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.
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.
Key Cultural Competencies: bullet list: Create an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates differences. Function and communicate effectively and respectfully within the context of varying beliefs, behaviors, orientations, identities, and cultural backgrounds. Seek opportunities to gain experience working and collaborating in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings with a willingness to change for continual improvement.

These could be under "Qualifications" or "Skills". The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine Minimum and Preferred under "Qualifications". Cultural competencies maybe under "Skills" or "Qualifications". We'll decide.
- Benefits: The posting includes "Benefits Work Days/Hours TBD" then "Total Compensation Range & Benefits Statement" with salary range and benefits description. So we have Pay and Benefits sections.
Pay: Salary range $66,696 – $77,000, starting around Q1 level, may be negotiated above. Provide that.
Benefits: 95% premium paid healthcare; generous retirement and vacation package; reduced tuition rates for employee, spouse or dependent at any of the Oregon University System schools. Also links to benefits overview and total compensation calculator.
Schedule: Not specified; "Work Days/Hours TBD". Since it's TBD, we should not create a Schedule section because it's not specific (TBD). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Schedule, it's TBD, which is not specific, so we should omit Schedule section.
Thus sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe split into Minimum and Preferred? but we can combine), Skills (cultural competencies maybe), Pay, Benefits.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit any substantive info. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can condense into bullet lists but must preserve meaning. We cannot drop any detail like "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." Must keep that.
We need to ensure we don't omit any piece.
Let's extract all substantive content:
From Position Summary (first paragraph about PSU and Maseeh College): "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" paragraph: "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."
Then Minimum Qualifications paragraph: "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 inclusionExcellent written and verbal communication skills."
Note there is missing punctuation but we keep as is.
Preferred Qualifications: "Prior experience in STEM outreach and/or pedagogyExperience with project managementExperience with K12 STEM ecosystem in OregonExperience with data analysis"
Key Cultural Competencies bullet list: "Create an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates differences. Function and communicate effectively and respectfully within the context of varying beliefs, behaviors, orientations, identities, and cultural backgrounds.Seek opportunities to gain experience working and collaborating in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings with a willingness to change for continual improvement.Adhere to all of PSU’s policies including the policies on Prohibited Discrimination & Harassment and the Professional Standards of Conduct."
Environmental Stewardship: "Contributes to a culture of environmental stewardship, practices resource conservation, and actively works toward achieving long-term sustainability goals."
Benefits: "Work Days/Hours TBD Total Compensation Range & Benefits Statement Salary is dependent on several factors, and new employees will typically start around the Q1 level to allow for later growth within the salary band. PSU has a structured process for determining starting compensation, taking into account years of related experience, applicable skills, knowledge and abilities, market parity, and internal equity. The starting annual salary for this position will be between $66,696 – $77,000 but may be negotiated above this rate dependent upon the factors above, the budget of the hiring department, and approval from HR.

We need to include the links as is.
We must not include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some like "Background Check Required Yes" etc. Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph for things like Position Number, Representation, Renewable, etc. But we can also drop them if they are minor. Safer to include a short p with metadata like "Position Number: D91315; Representation: AU - AAUP; Renewable; Proposed Start Date: 10/01/2026; Position End Date: 01/31/2029; Position FTE: 1.0; Tenure Status: N - not applicable." That's minor metadata.
We must not repeat job title as heading. The title is "K14 Workforce Program Manager". We'll not use that as heading.
