I know Booz Allen Hamilton launched a company-wide initiative with General Assembly for a data science course [1]. From my limited understanding of the content, I believe it is aimed at providing a very rudimentary introduction to the field for the more businessy/consultant types. And to demonstrate that BAH is "data-driven".

BAH is a leech on the federal government. I’m not even sure what they do, other than sucking $M in project management costs while providing nothing.

I support this - it's money that's not going to the military. Every government contract signed, every middle manager given a raise, signifies, in a final sense, a theft from those who would bomb and are not armed, those who would kill and have no weapons.
