Abstract: This study explores the role of community colleges in expanding education and workforce development in the U.S. and the Philippines, emphasizing the impact of transformational leadership on inclusivity, innovation, and adaptability. Focusing on Albay, Philippines, it examines how policies, industry partnerships, and sustainability initiatives shape these institutions while comparing global trends. Using a quantitative research approach, the study gathered data through surveys, interviews, and secondary data analysis from school administrators, municipal mayors, and Committee on Education members. It assesses institutional status, leadership competencies, and transformational leadership traits to provide evidence-based insights for improving leadership effectiveness. Findings reveal disparities in the number of schools, enrollment rates, and academic programs, with District 3 leading in accessibility and offerings, while District 2 requires targeted interventions. Leadership assessments highlight strengths in operational, analytical, and human relations skills, with areas for improvement in decision-making under uncertainty and motivation. The study underscores the need for leadership development, mentorship, and infrastructure expansion to ensure balanced educational opportunities. Strengthening leadership through professional training, mentorship programs, and continuous assessment can enhance institutional effectiveness, promote educational equity, and align community colleges with socio-economic needs. These insights contribute to long-term educational development in Albay and beyond.
