Media & Entertainment Skill Council (MESC)

The Media & Entertainment Skill Council (MESC) is the sector-specific body under the NSDC responsible for skill development in India's vibrant media, entertainment, and creative arts industries. With the growing demand for skilled professionals in animation, digital media, advertising, gaming, and performance arts, MESC plays a critical role in setting quality benchmarks and creating career opportunities across this dynamic sector.

MESC works in partnership with leading studios, production houses, digital agencies, and academic institutions to design industry-aligned training standards. From behind-the-scenes roles like graphic design, animation, and editing to front-end positions like acting, voiceover, and social media management, the council supports a wide range of skill tracks.

Through structured certification programs and hands-on learning, MESC aims to equip India’s creative talent with the skills, adaptability, and professionalism required to thrive in both domestic and global markets.
