What is a CPT job?

To be eligible for CPT, international students must be enrolled in a university or college that has been approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). They must also have completed at least one academic year of full-time study, maintain good academic standing, and obtain authorization from their academic advisor and the school's international student office.

CPT jobs can be paid or unpaid, and students may work part-time or full-time during their authorized period of employment. CPT authorization is typically granted for a specific period of time, and students must apply for an extension if they wish to continue working beyond that time.

CPT jobs are typically available to international students who are enrolled in a university or college in the United States and are seeking practical training in their field of study. As such, the fields that use CPT jobs can vary widely depending on the academic programs offered by the institution.

Some common fields that may offer CPT jobs include:

• Engineering. Students studying electrical, mechanical, civil, or computer engineering may be eligible for CPT jobs that allow them to gain hands-on experience in their field.

• Information technology. Students studying computer science, information systems, or related fields may be eligible for CPT jobs in areas such as software development, database administration, or network administration.

• Business. Students studying business administration, marketing, finance, or accounting may be eligible for CPT jobs in areas such as finance, marketing, or accounting.

• Science and research. Students studying biology, chemistry, physics, or other sciences may be eligible for CPT jobs in research labs or other scientific settings.

• Health care. Students studying nursing, medicine, or other health-related fields may be eligible for CPT jobs in hospitals, clinics, or other healthcare settings.
