Day 1 CPT Employer

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) allows international students to gain practical experience through internships, both during their studies and after completing their academic programs. These internships go beyond simple job roles; they offer students the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings, thereby enhancing skills that are directly tied to their academic pursuits. To support this, USCIS provides two types of work authorization: Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT).

USCIS has released a list of the top 200 employers that frequently hire CPT students, offering valuable insights into companies that actively support this type of work authorization.
