Don't do it. He has a very small amount to invest and should follow a low risk approach. His best option is index funds. His best choice there is a target retirement fund. His best fund company to chose is Vanguard. He would lose way to much with trading cost with that small amount. Lowest cost trade he could find with only a few thousand to invest is $7.95 a trade. He would have way to little diversity. Sorry but that is a very bad suggestion for that small investment. When he gets to 100K or more, he could consider dividend stocks. Not now.
