lts, here are links to two professional societies for audio/recording engineers
Audio Engineering Society (AES) and Welcome (Society of Professional Recording Services)

I don't know which is the mainstream, or if one is stronger in specific geographic regions.

He can ask his colleagues, instructors, fellow students. It may also be beneficial for him to be a member of AFM as a further means of developing a network.

edit after binx's post above:
lts, my son is an AFM member, but is a performing musician. If your D's other wants or has opportunities for sub or free lance gigs as a trombone player, some of these are limited to union members only. He may want membership for that reason alone.

I don't know the extent of info/resources AFM devotes specifically to the music business/recording aspects, so the industry specific societies might be a better bet.
