FT Analyst Class Opportunities for 2022?

I'm looking to move into IB after a couple years in a corporate finance rotation program. I spent some time in corporate development, and I'd like to pursue a career in M&A. I recently passed the FINRA SIE exam, and I've done lots of interview preparation.

Are there any FT analyst "classes" I might apply to in order to start this summer, or as someone who's already a couple years out of school, would I need to look for FT roles that are hiring immediately? The reasons I prefer to start as part of an official analyst class are to go through a formal training program, to give myself time to prepare for a career change (moving cities, etc.), and to see how things play out with vaccine mandates over the coming months.

Thanks for the guidance.
