How about a copy of "Embedded design with the PIC18F452 Microcontroller" 
by John B. Peatman. The book seemed pretty reasonable when I looked at 
it (though I already knew the 18f series by that point and it includes a 
board that is designed to go with the book (you have to source the parts 
and build up the board yourself though). They include a serial debugging 
soloution but it is probablly easier to just use an ICD2 or pickit 2 
(the board has an ICD2 style socket so if you use the pickit 2 you will 
need an adaptor).

The nice thing about this soloution is the book and board are designed 
to go together. IMO that is very valuable to a beginner.

Do you have any idea what this engineering associate's existing skillset 
is like?
