NUA Launches an Upholstery Mentorship Program!

May 24, 2024 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - National Upholstery Association to Launch Strategic Plan

The National Upholstery Association (NUA) has launched an industry-first mentorship program to encourage more people to learn the craft of upholstery.

“The purpose of the NUA’s Mentorship Program is to help break down the barriers to learning that exist within the upholstery trade,” the association says on its website.” This program aims to connect those who seek knowledge with those who bear knowledge, in order to empower trade professionals and help them gain confidence in their skills.”

The program is open to any NUA member who wants to be a mentor, mentee or peer (for non-hierarchical knowledge-sharing).

Mentor benefits include:

  • Expand your network
  • Build your leadership skills
  • Share best practices
  • Help make a difference in someone’s career
  • Benefit from a mutual learning experience
  • Help facilitate a culture of growth and development within the trade
  • Give back to the upholstery community

Mentee benefits include:

  • Build your network
  • Get assistance from a seasoned professional
  • Learn best practices
  • Improve your upholstery and business skills
  • Benefit from a mutual learning experience
  • Control your career

The NUA was established on March 20, 2019 to “support and advance the field of professional upholstery.” Their mission is to “inspire a rebirth of the upholstery profession as a collaborative community of artists, entrepreneurs, historians, and champions for sustainability.” It includes upholsterers from all sectors, including furniture, commercial and automotive.
