- Project Presentation: End your internship by presenting your project outcomes and technical learnings to team leadership and key stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Generative AI Exposure: Experience tinkering with LLM APIs (like OpenAI) or a basic understanding of prompt engineering.
- Development Tools: Familiarity with code versioning (Git/GitHub) and working in IDEs like VS Code or Jupyter Notebooks.
- Supply Chain Curiosity: An interest in understanding how global logistics, inventory, and operations function.
- Programming Foundations: Proficient in Python through coursework or personal projects, with a basic understanding of data manipulation (e.g., Pandas, dictionaries, lists).
- Database Basics: Foundational knowledge of SQL and how to query relational databases.
- AI/ML Interest: A strong, demonstrated interest in artificial intelligence, machine learning, or Natural Language Processing (NLP) via academic coursework, hackathons, or personal portfolio projects.
- Problem Solving: A proactive, curious mindset with a willingness to learn new frameworks quickly and tackle open-ended problems.
- Rising Junior or Senior preferred.
Basic Requirements
Education: Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree program in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field with a graduation date no later than Dec. 2030.

Get Access To All JobsSupply Chain Intern CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a supply chain internship qualify for CPT authorization?
Yes, if your degree program includes coursework in operations, logistics, procurement, or industrial engineering and the internship directly applies those skills. Your DSO will verify the connection between the role and your curriculum. Generic business internships without a direct curricular link may not qualify, so bring a course map or faculty endorsement to your DSO appointment.
Can I do CPT at a logistics company even if my major is not supply chain?
It depends on your degree program and how your school defines curricular relevance. Industrial engineering, business analytics, and operations research students regularly qualify for supply chain CPT if their coursework covers demand planning, inventory systems, or process optimization. The deciding factor is your DSO's assessment of fit, not your major title alone.
What happens if my supply chain internship extends beyond the original CPT end date?
You must return to your DSO and get your I-20 updated with the new end date before the original authorization expires. Working even one day past your CPT end date constitutes unauthorized employment, which is a serious immigration violation. Request the extension at least two weeks before your current authorization ends to account for DSO processing time.
How do I find supply chain employers who have hired CPT students before?
Migrate Mate lets you search employers by DOL Labor Condition Application filing history, which shows companies that have actively sponsored work authorization for roles in operations and logistics. Employers with recent LCA filings for supply chain or analyst positions are far more likely to understand CPT paperwork than those with no prior international hiring history.
Does working full-time on CPT during summer affect my OPT eligibility later?
Yes, but only the total cumulative count matters. USCIS rules state that 12 or more months of full-time CPT used before graduation eliminates OPT eligibility entirely. A single full-time summer internship is well under that threshold. If you plan multiple full-time CPT terms across different semesters, track your total carefully with your DSO to avoid hitting that limit unintentionally.
