How CPT works
CPT is curricular practical training authorized by an F-1 student's school, not the employer. The school's DSO authorizes it as an integral part of the curriculum, typically an internship or co-op, and the employer only provides an offer letter. Twelve or more months of full-time CPT eliminates OPT eligibility, so check the terms with your DSO first.

Which companies offer the most CPT jobs?
Ryan Companies US, Inc. has the most, with 26 live CPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Arcadis (8) and Keeley Construction (4). Across the 10 construction and real estate companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 59 live CPT jobs, updated daily.
Who is eligible for CPT?
F-1 students enrolled at a U.S. college or university are eligible for CPT if their program includes a curricular requirement met by practical work experience, such as a required internship or co-op. Your Designated School Official authorizes CPT before you begin working. CPT must be directly tied to your field of study, and full-time CPT used for 12 or more months eliminates future OPT eligibility, so timing matters.
How much does F-1 CPT cost?
F-1 CPT is student work authorization, so there is no employer sponsorship fee. The student pays the USCIS filing fee for the work-authorization application, plus any costs their school charges. Fee amounts change from time to time, so check the current figure before you rely on it.
How do I get CPT through a top employer?
Start by confirming the role qualifies as curriculum-integral work experience under your program requirements, then obtain a written offer letter from the employer stating your start date, end date, and job duties. Bring that letter to your Designated School Official, who reviews it and, if approved, issues an updated Form I-20 authorizing CPT. You may not begin work until your DSO has authorized CPT and the updated I-20 is in hand. No government petition is involved.
