Immigration and Work Permit in Germany

My questions is actually in regards to my girlfriend, not myself. We are both US citizens. I will be transferred to my company's office in Munich for a 2 year period beginning in June. I will acquire a work visa prior to my arrival in Germany. My girlfriend plans on joining me in Munich for those 2 years. I am aware that she can acquire a Residence Permit with relative ease by showing proof that I will be providing funds for the apartment and that she has adequate healthcare. However, I am hoping someone might give me some details on how we are to go about her acquisition of a work permit. Is it likely that she could acquire one? She is a recent graduate from a US college, and plans on seeking employment in any of the following fields: child-care, hotel services, public relations, restaurant services. Thanks in advance!
