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 sponsor the most CPT visas for Civil Engineers?
Kimley-Horn has the most, with 2 live CPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by HDR (22) and BKF Engineers (2). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 33 live CPT jobs, updated daily.
Who is eligible for CPT?
CPT eligibility requires F-1 student status in good standing at a U.S. school whose program includes a practical training component. The training must be an integral part of your curriculum, such as a required internship or co-op. Your Designated School Official authorizes each CPT placement, not USCIS. Accumulating twelve or more months of full-time CPT will eliminate your future OPT eligibility, so discuss the tradeoff with your DSO before accepting a full-time role.
Do civil engineers qualify for F-1 CPT as a specialty occupation?
Yes. Civil engineers typically hold a bachelor's degree in a specific field, which is exactly the specialty-occupation standard F-1 CPT is built around. What matters is that the employer classifies the role under a matching occupation code and that your degree lines up with it.
How do I get CPT through a top employer?
Start by securing a written offer letter from the employer confirming your role, start date, and work schedule. Bring that letter to your Designated School Official, who verifies the position qualifies as an integral curriculum requirement and then authorizes CPT by issuing an updated I-20. You may not begin work until the CPT authorization date on the new I-20. The employer does not file anything with USCIS; the entire authorization runs through your school.
