Depending on the work visa she is on yes, her employer may be able to get her a greencard. She cannot do this herself.

She has to be petitioned for Green Card by employer. Can't just adjust status because she wants to. All work visas are temporary and really have nothing to do with permanent residence.

F1>H1>Gc is the process and later two H1 and Gc has to be filed by the employer, she cannot just adjust the status.
