Seventeen new apprenticeship, traineeship and graduate opportunities will be made available in Forster, Tuncurry, Taree, Gloucester and Bootawa.
The available positions will be in the traditional trade apprenticeships; electrical, automotive, engineering and horticulture, while traineeships in water and sewer operations, aged and disability services, business administration, weed biosecurity and civil construction design also will be offered.
Positions also are available for a graduate chemist and two graduate planners.
"It is particularly pleasing to be able to offer employment opportunities to our community at a time when we know that COVID-19 has impacted on local jobs," MidCoast Council general manager, Adrian Panuccio said.
"The calibre of the staff who joined this year is outstanding, so we're looking forward to being able to find similarly suitable staff this year to help us in our mission to deliver services to the community," he said.
A full list of available positions can be found on the council website, with applications closing on Sunday, November 1.
Roles on offer are equally relevant to school leavers or more mature people looking for a career change.
As an equal opportunity employer committed to attracting and retaining quality staff, MidCoast Council encourages people of all ages, genders, backgrounds and levels of experience to apply.
"These job opportunities are part of council's ongoing employment based training strategy and will add to the 42 trainees, apprentices and graduates we current employ," Mr Panuccio said.

"Many of last year's cohort will progress to higher level traineeships or continue into apprenticeships in 2021 and once all of the new positions are filled, our employment based training program will represent close to six per cent of our workforce."
Council is advertising the new positions through its website and other employment websites.
