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?
Walgreens has the most, with 1,122 live CPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Whatnot (28) and Target (4). Across the 10 retail companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 1,171 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 when the practical training is an integral, required component of their academic program. Eligibility depends on completing at least one academic year of full-time study and obtaining authorization from a Designated School Official before starting any job. The employer provides an offer letter, but the school controls the authorization decision entirely.
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?
Secure a written offer letter from the employer that confirms the position title, start date, end date, and how the role relates to your field of study. Bring that offer letter to your Designated School Official and request CPT authorization before your start date. Your DSO updates your I-20 to reflect the approved CPT period. You may not begin work until you have the updated I-20 in hand. Authorizing for twelve or more months of full-time CPT eliminates future OPT eligibility, so plan your training timeline carefully.
