CPT

Curricular Practical Training (CPT) allows F-1 international students to work in the United States while still enrolled in their degree program. Unlike OPT which comes after graduation, CPT lets you gain practical experience during your studies in a position directly related to your field. Understand CPT eligibility requirements, how to obtain CPT authorization, employment restrictions, and the difference between CPT and OPT. Learn how CPT experience can benefit your career development and eventual transition to H1B sponsorship.
