Required Java Upgrades to Access EOD-Skillsoft Site

For security purposes, an urgent Java Version 51 upgrade is now required to access the EOD-Skillsoft site (https://ucar.skillport.com).  Some staff won't have access to EOD’s-Skillsoft until these Java upgrades are made to their work computer/network systems.   

This impacts access to the following required UCAR online training modules:

• Workplace Harassment Protection for Employees Training
• UCAR Introduction to Export Controls Training
• UCAR: Purchasing Card - Cardholder & Approving Official Training
• UCAR: Investigator Financial Disclosure Training

Technical System Requirements

• Java Update 51 (new)
• Most current browser versions (Firefox, Explorer, Chrome, Safari)
• Browsers set to allow popups for the EOD-Skillsoft site

Please check with your system administrator regarding the timing of your computer/network upgrade.

As an immediate work-around, access to the EOD-Skillsoft site can still be made from home computers with the Java Update 51 upgrade, and mobile devices -- smartphones, e-readers and tablets which don’t require Java. 

For future planning, Skillsoft is currently upgrading all their online content to HTML 5 format, no Java required, which they hope to complete by the end of the year.

Thank you for your patience and our apologies for any inconvenience.
