Companies Accept Day 1 CPT

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) allows international students to work in internships, either while they're studying or after they've completed their academic programs. These internships are more than just jobs; they're a chance to apply classroom knowledge in the real world, enhancing skills directly related to their studies. To facilitate this, USCIS provides two types of work authorization for students: Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT).

USCIS had launched a list of top 200 employers who hired CPT students. See the document: Top 200 Employers for CPT students
