The implementation of innovative technologies, such as Virtual Reality directly effects on revolutionizing of the educational system and gives students the opportunity to learn and practice in an inclusive way, regardless of their location. On the other hand, technological developments in the field of renewable resources lead to the need to improve study programs related to them. The fulfillment of such needs is intertwined with the development of the teaching methodologies aided by technology and/or ICT tools, which can be implemented in the virtual reality laboratory. This article provides that aided VR in the improvement of curricula, raise the capacity of the academic staff to the appropriate level in line with innovative technological developments. The academic staff should transfer Virtual Technologies through teaching to students in order to they gain competencies in the use of ICT tools, software and platforms, increasing the interaction NOT ONLY between teachers and themselves, but above all with the labor market in the renewable energy field. The results were provided with the help of machine learning on the original questionnaires 'data and they can use by different study programs in Western Balkan Universities, based on by Aleksander Moisiu University's development experience. The purpose of this study is to encourage the Western Balkan Universities to invest in the education of the new generation towards a green society and economy through the improvement of curricula and the implementation of contemporary teaching methods focusing on virtual reality technologies, as an important step for the evolution of the educational system.
