Film Set Construction Jobs (South Louisiana)

Im trying to help a cousin out who recently graduated. She (trust me you don't want pics) just graduated from an art institute (that's why you don't want pics) and is trying to get in the door (maybe even back door, not for me to decide, we are cousins and not from Alabama) of the film industry.
She is interested in set building and although she is a female, her construction talents far exceed most men I know.
Anyone know of companies hiring that she can contact to get an interview?
TIA

1. get on as a set intern
2. transfer into script supervision
3. collaborate on set and prop design
4. become a set designer
The physical construction of the sets is a union labor gig

It's more complicated than that. It's union.

ummmmmm no. That's not how it works. And it's not hard to get into the local union if you are a local resident. Plus it's a right to work state. This person needs to identify the local art directors, construction coordinators or foremans and try to get on a show as an entry level propmaker. The really big shows will bring in those positions, but most of the carpenters are local.
Call the local 478 and see if they are offering any local training/workhops or hiring permits to meet the demand. There aren't enough local construction people to meet the demand, so the local wants Louisiana residents since it makes the region more attractive to producers and studios.
