I'm actually frantically sifting through various websites trying to find some sort of profit calculator for manufacturing so I can give her the tools to succeed. What sort of startup capital would be recommended for a new manufacturing character (in other words, how much ISK do I have to give her  )?
There are several calculators out there she could use. Some are in the form of Spreadsheets, others (like mine - link in sig) are programs, and others are websites. This forum has several you could use. Just go through the posts.
This is what I would suggest. Start out with learning how to build ammo and learn the market. Industry isn't just about skills and isk, it's about knowing what your demand is like for the items you want to produce. Researching different types of ammo (hybrid/missiles, etc) in different areas would help you understand what to sell. For instance, the -50% range ammos are in higher demand than the other variants.
After you get a few ammo BPO's (check market for prices), try and find a hub to sell in and see if you can get someone to research them for you. You aren't going to find anywhere to do it publicly without a long wait. If you are interested, I have some free slots in my POS. Just let me know.
Then focus on skills. Stuff like adding more manufacturing slots, trade, etc. Production Efficiency 5 is a must. I would get this to 4 before she builds anything.
That is where I would start with industry.
However, industry isn't a quick process. You can spend a good amount of time just making stuff. If she wants to do mining, that's a good connection to ammo production since you can make it with basic minerals that she will mine. Note, she doesn't need to mine all the minerals to make the ammo, but this could help supplement income instead of just handing over isk. Buy the rest of the minerals on market will help understand it better.
So mine high sec ores, and build ammo. That is the best place to start imo. Hope that helps.
