Education technology company Wriggle Learning said it plans to create 90 jobs by 2027.

The new jobs will be available across customer support, tech support, teaching, sales and marketing.

Wriggle said it has seen significant growth and projects €50m in annual revenue by 2027 as schools accelerate digital transformation under the Government's Senior Cycle Reform.

This is a multi-year overhaul which will introduce new subjects, digital portfolios, and continuous assessment for over 400,000 post-primary students.

Founded in 2012, Wriggle Learning was the first company in Ireland to deliver a one to one student device programme, where every student has their own managed learning device.

The company holds an 80% share of the national 1:1 market, working with more than 300 schools and supporting over 150,000 students and teachers nationwide and it plans to expand to over 400 post-primary schools running full 1:1 programmes and supporting 600,000 students.

Beyond technology, the company also focuses heavily on teacher development and classroom impact. Led by its Chief Learning Officer Sean Glynn, Wriggle Connect provides day-to-day training and resources for teachers, parents, and students. More than 40,000 teachers have been trained to date.

"The Senior Cycle Reform will redefine how Irish students learn and are assessed, and 1:1 learning is the foundation of that change," said Paul Dooley, CEO of Wriggle Learning.

"Our mission is to make sure every school is ready," he added.
