Something she might want to consider is entering the tech industry as QA/Tester.

Typically, the barrier of entry is lower for QA than roles such as PM. With the right opportunity, she will get a lot of experience working with tech teams and gain some insight into how to be an efficient PM. And the money can be pretty good too.

I was on a client where, over the course of 2-3 years, one of the QA testers transitioned to a BA/Scrum Master role. She constantly stepped outside of her role and helped with management.
