    How this list is ranked

CPT is your own work authorization rather than something the employer files, so the practical question is whether the role fits your field of study and whether the team has hired people on CPT before.

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.

Food and Beverage CPT Employers: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies offer the most CPT jobs?

Sodexo has the most, with 58 live CPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Dennis Group (22) and Aramark (11). Across the 10 food and beverage companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 101 live CPT jobs, updated daily.

Who is eligible for CPT?

F-1 students enrolled full-time at a U.S. college or university are eligible for CPT if the practical training is an integral part of their academic curriculum, such as a required internship or cooperative education program. The student must have completed at least one full academic year of study, and the position must relate directly to the student's major field of study. The Designated School Official, not a government agency, authorizes CPT before work begins.

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?

To get CPT authorization, secure a written job offer from the employer that describes the role, start date, end date, and hours per week. Bring that offer letter to your Designated School Official, who verifies that the position qualifies as an integral part of your curriculum and then issues an updated Form I-20 reflecting CPT authorization. You cannot begin work until your DSO authorizes CPT and your new I-20 is issued. The employer does not file any government forms on your behalf.
