I am an immigrant and have been through the process myself Looks like it could be an H-1B visa - the company pays for the visa, but the recipient has to work for that company for I think 3 years (and can be renewed.) There is a restriction on how many H-1Bs are issued every year. Or it could be a work permit. The work permit allows the recipient to work in the US, but is not proof of citizenship or permanent residency. If the student is in school, she may be able to get a practical training visa, which I believe is valid for one year - you can ask the school about this. Ask the interested employer if they know about the H-1B visa process - chances are somebody in their employ has already been through the process. Otherwise, check out http://www.ins.gov/ - the INS site. You can try calling them, but the response time is patchy. Hope this helps.
