The study's goal was to determine the extent of the leadership practices and competence of the administrators of the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) Strategic Partnership Institutes (SPIs) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In the research, the descriptive-correlational design was used with the use of the questionnaire as the key tool to collect data from nine (9) administrator-respondents and three hundred and four (304) teacher-respondents. Descriptive statistics such as percentage, frequency, and weighted mean were used in explaining the collected data. Pearson r and t-test were used to evaluate essential relationships and significant differences between the analysis variables. TVTC administrators' Strategic Partnership Institutes (SPIs) have a high level of leadership practices and competence; there is a significant relationship between management practices and administrator competence; and when examined by teacher-respondents among TVTC SPI administrators in the Kingdom of Saud, there is no significant difference in the level of leadership practices To strengthen the leadership and competence of TVTC's SPIs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the proposed training and development program should be adopted and implemented as soon as possible.
